⭐ Featured Review

This show was GREAT!!
by JennLynn β€’ 1999-10-06

"I liked this show... one of my top ten. I would vote it a 10!!!!! Very, very funny!! And it had nothing to do with "pushing" non-Christians into Christianity, even though it was about a church and the activities there. Anyone who likes good humor should see this one - a classic!..."

πŸ’‘ Did You Know?

The First Community Church choir often sings the song "Amen", and the Reverend always introduces it by saying "The choir will now sing 'Amen,' written by Dr. Jester Hairston." The song is a real-life hit from the 1960s, and the writer is the very same Jester Hairston who plays Rolly Forbes on the show.
