Baby... I'm Back!

I was born in the 90's and I do highly respect old classic shows because they got this feel that is loss in today's shows.

Not sure why a good show that had substance didn't get picked up for another season.

Everything about this show was excellent. It's about An Ex-Con afro male wanting to be part of his family. Obviously didn't sit well with a lot of folks. The SHOW STILL had a lot of positive and meaningful plots and episodes.

I managed to watch all 13 episodes on YouTube. I had never even heard of this show, but I was doing some IMDb research on Sanford and son and came across this show with Demond Wilson. I've always been a big fan of Kim Fields, and of course who doesn't love Helen Martin. So when I saw someone had uploaded all the episodes to YouTube, I spent a week watching it. I was very impressed. The comedy was great and the writing was excellent. Kim Fields is just too cute in this show and It was really great seeing her before her Facts of Life fame. I don't think that this show was given a fair chance or enough time to become what it could've been. That's always a disappointment to me when a show looks like it will work out pretty well, but gets the plug pulled way too quick. Sanford Arms and Grady and even Sanford were very lame, but this show had potential. The show ended without any farewell as it barely had enough time to find its niche. Helen Martin is as sassy as she always is since I mainly knew her as Pearl.

I will Forever be thankful for YouTube other streaming services that allow us a peak into yesteryear.

Demond Wilson's character had deserted his wife and son some years before, and had returned home. However, his wife had declared her errant husband dead, and had gotten engaged to a military man. The premise of the short-lived sitcom was the efforts of the Wilson character trying to convince his wife that he was a changed man and wanted to have a relationship with her again.

Wilson was fresh off of the recently cancelled Sanford and Son at the time, when he appeared in this series. It was not a good series, and I don't believe it made it through one season.

I'm told two episodes came out in 1989 , but I didn't get to see nor can I locate.

Though the premise was somewhat limited, this show itself was enjoyable because of the colorful cast of characters. The contrast and variety of Denise Nicholas playing an uptight ex- wife, Demond Wilson playing a desperate man, Kim Fields as a sassy but very cute little girl (before Facts of Life!), and Helen Martin as a sharp-tongued grandmother, made for lots of fun. The verbal battles between Wilson and Martin's characters were especially enjoyable to watch. Also, Tony Holmes was a unique child actor - and I wish he had gone on to do more. The writing and plots weren't the greatest, but the cast's delivery made them work -- and when watching these episodes nowadays, I am easily reminded of a time when TV was much more innocent and unaffected.
