Hi everybody, just wanted to ask this.....

Are Sanford and Son, Good Times, The Jefferson's, The Cosby Show, A Different World, Family Matters, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, My Wife and Kids and The Bernie Mac Show the only African American sitcoms that achieved major crossover success?

I wasn't to sure about Amen and 227, though they were great.

Never saw much of What's Happening.
