Editorial Review:

Product Description:
More than just one of the most popular TV sitcoms of the '80s 227 is the Washington DC apartment building where housewife Mary Jenkins and her close-knit circle of friends and neighbors gather on the front stoop to dish about life family and especially each other in this first season collection of twenty-two hilarious episodes. Starring Marla Gibbs as Mary Hal Williams as her hardworking husband Lester Regina King as their teenage daughter Brenda Alaina Reed as Mary's best friend Rose Helen Martin as crotchety busybody Pearl and Emmy Award®-winner Jack e as the sexy "man-wise" Sandra Clark. Also appearing in the first season's 22 side-splitting episodes are such familiar faces as Leslie Nielsen Dennis Haysbert Whitman Mayo and Fran Drescher. 227 ran for five hysterical seasons proving that when it comes to comedy and laughter there's no place like home.System Requirements:Running Time: 525 Min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 043396060722 Manufacturer No: 06072

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - There's no place like MPI Home Video
Sony Pictures, selling 227 to MPI Home Video would be a perfect idea for the fans, who have waited 4 years to collect all 5 Seasons of the series on DVD. Please do not say no to my suggestion. MPI Home Video will be willing to re-release the first season, and release the 4 remaining seasons with no problems. Please sell 227 to MPI Home Video!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This is a wholesome, funny, well-acted, well written show!
Since we don't watch cable TV I have to search for things in line with my taste to buy. I enjoy wholesome shows. I love Monarch of the Glen, Andy Griffith, I Love Lucy, Family Affair, The Doris Day Show, Jan Karon books about Mitford, Hugh Grant movies, George Eliot books and Jane Austen books. This turned out to be one of my favorite shows! It's very funny, and not at all stale. I will purchase all the DVD's of 227 if they become available.





Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Great Show, Crazy Episode Sequencing
I will echo the praise of other reviewers here for this show. It's one of my favorite sitcoms from the mid to late 80s. The casting is perfect, the stories well written. Marla Gibbs and Jackee Harry are a joy to watch.

The reason I'm giving this dvd only three stars is because the episode sequencing on the set is the worst I've ever seen. Instead of following the airing order, which is the way the show should be viewed, I think they followed the production order. What this means ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Classic 80's Sitcom
"227" is a prime example of classic sitcoms. The first several seasons of this program are hilarious, this particular season probably the better. Jackee' and Marla Gibbs had some of the best chemistry I've ever seen two people have in a sitcom. According to the studio, because the first season DVD did not sell well, there is very little chance that we will ever receive subsequent seasons on DVD so you better snap this one up while you can.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great show!
I'd forgotten how funny this show was!

I loved this show and I'm so glad that I can now begin adding this to my collection! The only thing that was a little annoying was during what they labled the pilot epiosde, it mentions that Rose inherits the building from her landlord who died, but the next few episodes, they make reference to him as if he was still alive. The episodes are a bit out of sequence.

On Disc three, they have a few special features one of which a "reunion" ... Read More
