A classic that will never be forgotten, 5 January 2000
Author: Op_Prime from Ardmore, PA

This was a great sitcom. The show had great writing and great actors/actresses to perform it. Above everyone else, Sherman Hemsley was the funniest. With all these characters and great writing, could anyone be surprised that this show lasted for ten years? I would think not.
