I like Back To the Grind. I would like to see each celeb get the full half-hour, rather than two celebs sharing the half-hour.

I like how Marla Gibbs played her part. Like "I'm supposed to do what?"....Just like her character Florence would do.

So now that we know Sherman and Marla can do their fictional jobs in real life now what?-lol Why couldn;t TV land have one out of the two struggling to do the job they did on the Jeffersons? Once again no creativity

It is what it is. I'm sure they let them try to do the job if they can. They aren't supposed to fail intentionaly. In the previous week, Loni Anderson failed as a receptionist. |
