    The production of these episodes is flawless, they have a flow all their own. They were great as a kid and they are even better now.

    Just love this episode because the men are afraid of Sapphire. She is the one with the brains. Thank you You Tube for all the episodes.

    This show always has a moral. My friend named his dive service Mystic Knights of the Sea. He had all the episodes. The intro music fires off endorfines in my brain. These are superior to any sitcoms of today,bare none.

    I love the way Sapphire forces the vote on who will be in charge of the money.

    Another treat on a rainy day in the UK. This show never fails to make me laugh out loud. Please keep them coming and thank you.

    My father and I would watch this show when I was a kid. Great show, great actors.

    As the decades pass (I was born in 1950) it becomes more and more evident how good these actors were. They are a welcome relief from today's politically correct mandate and these actors are utterly genuine. They did not have the advantage of stellar photography (like I Love Lucy did) and these youtubes were probably mere kinescopes. But the acting does come through much louder and clearer than the 'ridiculous racist chant' of the NAACP's utter nonsense. - David Lyga

    Does anyone notice a very young Skillet from Sanford and Son talking to Kingfish in the foyer? Wow...

    Yes that when Black folks had dignity and character and work hard and didn’t blame someone else for their failure…I lived it..

    The lawyer on Sienfeld reminds me of Calhoun. I think he might have taken some of his mannerism from him.
