227

227 is an NBC comedy starring Marla Gibbs, Hal Williams, Alaina Reed Hall, Jackee Harry, and Helen Martin in a story about a gossip-loving housewife living in a middle-class apartment complex in Washington D.C., where there's no shortage of colorful characters and scandalous dramas to keep residents entertained. Gibbs plays Mary Jenkins, an imposing woman with a notoriously big mouth who can never get her fill of local gossip. Mary is a funny and quick-witted woman who has no filter for her thoughts, which often gets her into trouble when she says the wrong thing around her friends, family, and fellow residents. Williams plays Mary's husband, Lester, a patient construction worker who does his best to run damage control when his talkative wife gets into trouble. Harry plays the sexy coquette Sandra Clark, whose scandalous lifestyle leads to plenty of bickering with Mary. 227 is a fun sitcom that ran for five seasons between 1985 and 1990. MORE
