"This sitcom broke with the middle class to upper class focus of many shows and focused on an African American family living in the projects. The were not stereotypes but kind and good people dealing with hard times with dignity!"

"It's just one my favorite shows to watch!"

"The classic of classics. Crucial to black & American culture. Its a perfect representation of trying to make it out of poverty & making the struggle a comedic relief, a real metaphor of what it is like to be African American. & it still holds up"

"10/10. Greatest TV sitcom of all time! Classic Jimmie Walker as JJ, the hilarious son of a family living in a Chicago ghetto. You will never see another black family portrayed in such a poor environment on television, as Hollywood has since sugar-coated subsequent portrayals such as The Jeffersons, Cosby Show, Family Matters, Fresh Prince, etc. all portraying black families living in the lap of luxury."
