Here is their e-mail address: info@visualentertainment.tv

Don't let AJ fool you, he has never seen the promos-lol

I wish it would get a dvd release for those who haven't seen it. Probably won't happen though.

I seen the show when it aired. I was 15 when this show premiered. I don't know that I would care for it now, only for the fact that it is rare, would I want to have it. I was hoping for something great, but it was a letdown. It was "ok".

I hope to see it someday.

It's not a spin-off of What's Happening!! I would love to see this show, though. TV One did air it for a few days then they dropped it. I wonder if anyone recorded it? I still don't have that channel.

That's what I had heard but there were also posts that it was cancelled before TV One ever aired it, at the last minute. No one has posted that they saw it. I get TV One. So, if it aired, I would definitely tape it and offer you a complimentary copy, Pavan.

And you're right. Technically, it wasn't a spin-off because it was not the same character. It was Shirley's shot at having her own series. God, I wanna see this show!

Yes, it was a poorly-written show. Keene Curtis,
later the follicly-challenged John Allen Hill
character on CHEERS, was a co-star.
