Clifton Davis is also an accomplished songwriter. His song "Never Can Say Goodbye" was taken to the No. 2 spot by Jackson 5 in 1971, and has been recorded by notable artists including Isaac Hayes, Gloria Gaynor, Smokey Robinson, Andy Williams, Vanessa Williams, Stevie Wonder, Sheena Easton, Gloria Estefan, and The Supremes.

In 1986, a pilot for a syndicated revival series called That's My Mama Now! (1986) starring Ted Lange was produced but it was not picked up.
Ted Lange as "Junior" had the show's one catchphrase, which he said each time he entered a scene: "Oooh-wee! I got it, I got it, and I've got to ree-port it!"
Ed Bernard originally played the role of Earl Chambers but was replaced by Teddy Wilson. Wilson met and eventually married Joan Pringle when she replaced Lynne Moody in the role of Tracy. However Bernard and Pringle would eventually work together shortly after on The White Shadow (1978).
