It was called Singer and Sons from 1990 on NBC. Esther played a woman who ran a Jewish deli. I never heard of it until today. Now I want to see it. lol

I was doing some research on Esther for another topic and I stumbled upon this info.

Good luck finding it, it says that only 4 episodes were produced making it really rare.

I remember that show. I may have seen it once. yeah, that was the plot, but I think on that show also Esther Rolle's character had some sons that hung around that deli.

I've heard of that, I've heard of a lot of shows thanks to the Complete Television Directory.

I am suprised you didn't know this one. I have been looking for a few months and have come up empty. I think I might have a commercial for it on a tape somewhere but that is it.

It was a spinoff of Good Times. Don't anyone argue with me.
