chesterrodney "True Colors" was and still is one of my all time favorite TV programs! I couldn't wait til Sunday night came, so I could watch my favorite TV family at 7pm! I even wrote Fox several times and begged them not to cancel the show. They wrote me back each time. In fact Adam Jeffries who played Lester on the show. Adam wrote me a thank you letter and signed a photo of himself for me. I still have that picture today. Well, they ended up canceling it anyway. But that show "Parker Lewis Can't Loose" stayed on the air for another year! WHAT!!!! I wish Fox would release all two seasons of "True Colors" on DVD! I video taped most of the shows on VHS. But I didn't get all of the shows. Or maybe some cable network will show reruns of "True Colors". I just know I really miss my "True Colors"!

stevenfallonnyc I remember being a big fan of this show when it was on. The situation of the black guy and his two kids marrying the jewish mom and her daughter was great but it was made much better because the cast was very talented. I recall the daughter being very hot. Some episodes I remember were when younger brother Lester (who was becoming the show's main focus) stole some hip sneakers (called "Cranks" I believe), when Lester and the daughter Katie were spooked at a horror film at home, and when Lester becomes a racist after reading about Malcolm X. Another great one was the two brothers saving the daughter from a smooth-talking boyfriend. The one negative was Nancy Walker as the grandmother, she did very well but at times was a little too much to take. For the final season Cleavon Little replaced the original father, and as much of a big fan I am of Little, he looked rather sickly and seemed to have lost a lot of the fire. I'd love to have some of these episodes on tape again, if anyone has them, give me an email and maybe we can work out a trade or something.

hillari This short lived family sitcom tried to break new ground, but didn't penetrate as deep as it could have. It was about a couple who had not been married long (when the show began), but already had to deal with challenges. The husband was African-American, and his new wife was white. Both spouses had kids from prior marriages, and had to deal with stepfamily issues as well. Nancy Walker was a relative of the wife (I don't remember if she was her mother or her aunt) who openly disapproved of the interracial marriage. A lot of the gags centered around the kids, more than on the couple.
