Show Description

The hilarious comedy, Amen, is one of the few comedies centering on religion. The show, set at the First Community Church of Philadelphia, with a mostly African American congregation, focuses on the comical differences between Deacon Ernest Frye, played by Sherman Hemsley, and the Reverend Reuben Gregory, played by Clifton Davis.

Deacon Frye, the chairman of the board of trustees in the church founded by his father was, has ran the church for many years. With his ego, controlling demeanor, and holier-than-thou attitude, he irritates many in his church congregation. Nonetheless, the egotistical Frye is put to the test with the arrival of a new minister, Rev. Gregory. For the most part, Deacon Frye's impulsive ideas cause the church trouble, only until Rev. Gregory is able to have everything resolved.

Thelma, played by Anna Marie Horsford, is the Deacon's daughter who suffers from a string broken hearts and is sometimes awkward in social settings. Despite the lack of sympathy from her father, she quickly makes Rev. Gregory the target of her new romance.

Other notable characters include church members Casietta and Amelia Hetebrink, played by Barbara Montgomery and Roz Ryan. Rolly Forbes, played by Jester Hairston, is the elderly church board member who frequently offers Deacon Frye advice, only to have it ignored on most occasions.

TV One is proud to return a comedy that kept a sense of humor while being mostly grounded in religious content. This series gives viewers an insight into the lives and situations that are very visible in the African American community.

[loren]

im going to have my direct tv tivo grab the series

im putting it on 4 eps to a disc straight run

with commercials and all

should take about 5 weeks total


if anyone is interested for a set, let me know

ill be offereing a free set to whom ever wants to cut the comemrcials and drop title menus on the discs

nothing fancy, just selectable menus, cut the adds and place it in order--since tvone is jumping around

[Collinwood2003]

I can't wait till tommrow. I will be able to make my set using ulead and edit commercials out with tmpg. I"m not very creative when it comes to stuff like this.

Hello Loren:
You must be logged into this FORUM 24 hours a day !!! Loren you have made another "touchdown" -STILL I need more people to sign up, I think it's advisible to have at least 5 members in this club, hopefully more will join.

[cprompt]

Hello Collinwood2003:
I thank you VERY MUCH for posting a reply to my thread... You are very kind. Please elaborate on your comments about using DIRECT PC TV-CARD recording..I would be very interested in anything you can share on the subject. I have a media Center PC and it works reasonably well, but I personally prefer SET-TOP BOX. SET-TOP Box is so EASY and the discs come out "dupe-able" every time.. As far as I can see PC-TV Card has reliability issues... Just my opinion - I am not an expert (wish I was)... Your SITCOMS ONLINE BUDDY is: Donny-Dawg

[Collinwood2003]

Hi cprompt,

I don't have tivo or anything I just use a regular recorder and will be recording straight from the tv onto a dvd. I was wondering if you got the email about the perfect strangers. I am also in South Carolina.

[cprompt]

Hello "A.K.":
PLEASE CALL ME Donald or Donny-Dawg...cprompt is just my login....Sure, Nanny 14 DVDs for perfect strangers 14 dvds. My dvd's are guaranteed to dupe, so once you get the set you can add it to your trade list, you won't have to worry about a 'bad burn'. That's a lot of Perefect Strangers.... I will look around for some bonus discs for you. How 'bout Magilla Gorilla complete??Thank You., Donald

[neuroslicer]

Loren,
thanks for offering to capture the eps for me. I'll be adding menus, cutting commercials, adding music background, etc.

LETS JUST HOPE THEY RUN ALL THE SHOWS

unlike the way grace under fire went lately

[cprompt]

Hello A.K.:
Yes: I was suggesting we trade my Perfect Strangers for your Nanny 14 DVD's
The reason I mentioned the cartoon Magilla Gorilla is beause I like to add bonus discs to my shipments and I wanted to find out if Magilla Gorilla would be a possible [welcome] addition to my shipment to you, Your SITCOMS ONLINE BUDDY is: Donald Miller

Hi all,

FYI,
Amen starts normal showings on Oct. 3 and they appear to be in slightly better order than the "blitz" showing this week.
