Griffin 07-29-2003, 12:24 PM "Baby, I'm Back", With Demond Wilson...man, there was a show with a lot of unrealized potential!! The first four or five episodes, where Ray Ellis (Wilson) was depicted as an unflappable wise guy were the best. I belive the show faltered when the writers decided to make Ray a loser (appearently to inspire sympathy in the character), and, as a result, the show went straight downhill from there. It's a shame, too, because if they had stuck to the original premise...a lead character that let NOTHING faze him...the show would be considered a true sitcom classic instead of the footnote it is today!! Just my humble opinion... TVFactFan 07-29-2003, 05:33 PM Originally posted by W.J. Griffin "Baby, I'm Back", With Demond Wilson...man, there was a show with a lot of unrealized potential!!

Just my humble opinion... I still can't believe Demond left Sanford and Son to do a sitcom like that. W.J.
