I was so sad to hear about Meshach Taylor.
I set my DVR to pick up episodes, because I love the show, and I haven't seen an episode in 5+ years. I was so excited a few weeks ago to see it pop up.
Man, this does not hold up. It makes me sad that I think it's kind of terrible now. Just OTT and stereotypes. The first episode I watched was when they were competing with some lame guys for a job and went bowling. Then the roof-top dinner for Charlene and her husband. Mary Jo dating the pastor. Suzanne's gay friend who she thinks likes her.
I don't know, but Mary Jo is the one I think is the most offensive and annoying watching it again. She's just terrible. Was she always?
They were just so bad. I used to love it so much, almost as much as Golden Girls - which holds up better I think.
I have 4 more episodes that I haven't watched yet because I just can't.
