Musician

Does anyone know where I can get the DVD of AMEN or at least does anyone know the Song that the "sisters" sung, "Warden of PS 53"

#7 - Church GUY - 06/29/2007 - 17:55

Does anyone know what "Amen" show in the series has Sherman Hemsley going to a waitress's home for romance, only to find out she is married. She has a closet full of cats, and he hides in there when her husband comes home; he tosses out one cat at a time for the husband to pet. It was one of the funniest shows, but I do not know which one it is. Would like to order it.

CLIFTON DAVIS

HI LOVE THE SHOW ALSO AND WAS WONDERING IF CLIFTON DAVIS DID THE REAL SINGING WHEN HE SANG ON THE SHOW? AND ALSO WHERE ARE THE ACTORS NOW AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING?

#32 - ELAINE VELASQUEZ - 01/20/2010 - 19:02

is the sitcom ever coming back on tv, we don\'t have any African-American films really on tv. If they do decide to show on tv it\'s always late at night and that\'s not right....
