Has anyone ever seen Shirley Hemphill's spin-off? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Robert 13 · 07-17-2006, 04:19 PM

I've read about it online but I've never seen it in reruns anywhere. I read that it was supposed to air on TV One. Someone said it never happened. Does anyone know for sure? Any info?

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

Caught an episode once when I was a kid. Can't remember much about it, though.

Yep same with me. I think I caught a few episodes but I don't remember much about it.

It wasn't a spinoff, it was a new TV show she starred in called One in a Million the year after What's Happening ended(1980)

Ahh, I see. So she wasn't Shirley Wilson anymore? I would really love to see this. Apparently, it was due to air on TV One but was taken off the schedule before it aired. I wonder if the masters are not available or what the problem is. I hope TV One reconsiders.

I saw the pictures posted in the photo gallery by Pavanbadal. Now, I really really wanna see this show. Can anyone help? I will pay for them! It looks very unlikely that they will ever release it on dvd. Anyone? Please?

Good luck finding it. Solomon knows that quite a few of us have been looking for it to no avail.

Thanks. I planned to do the same. No use holding it to one's self.

I remember seeing it when it first aired, and I thought it was funny back then. Of course, I was only 9. LOL

Does that mean that you think we have the mentality of 9 year olds?

Which studio owns the rights to it? If it is a Sony title anybody with Comcast On Demand can suggest it on the On Demand website. It only lasted a season, so they should be able to show all of the episodes.

Wasnt the show only on for a few weeks? I cant imagine something like this being released unless it had a huge demand.
