Parker,
YES! She was Denise Nicholas whom I can recall helping the relieve the tedium of the otherwise tedious "Room 222" long before [ a rather boring show even back then but oddly enough got referenced by Lisa Douglas on "Green Acres" once]. I don't know what she's doing now but let's just say when Carroll O'Connor hooked up with her on "Heat of the Night" one could definitely say he'd 'moved on up' from Edith [as nice as that character had been]! -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on October 8, 2012, 7:57 pm - (1 votes)

Pelirojo, wasn't the long suffering wife the same actress who played Harriet DeLong, Carroll O'Connor's love interest on "In The Heat of The Night"? She was still beautiful even by then. -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on October 1, 2012, 3:32 pm - (0 votes)

Parker,
I read it,too, and have to admit that I'd had no idea that this went down much less that's what took it off the air instead of more audience members [like me] hating the concept. Kinda surprised because I always thought that 'Lamont' was the voice of reason on 'Sanford and Son'. Well, IMO the show's premise was awful and the 'star' played a creep but I have to admit that I thought the actress who played his long-suffering wife was gorgeous and the character of Luzelle [the mother-in-law whom the audience was supposed to hate and root against while considering the creep heroic] was played by the late Helen Martin who was ALWAYS good for laughs. -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on September 14, 2012, 9:48 am - (0 votes)

I read the wiki article after I posted below. I was literally shocked to find out this show was about to be picked up as it performed decently in the ratings, but Demond's ego got in the way of that by making unreasonable demands, so it was cancelled. It may have sucked. It sounds like it did, but that's not why they cancelled it. -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on September 13, 2012, 4:49 pm - (0 votes)

Parker,
They likely were trying to get milk anything possible for humor for the show- even something that back then couldn't have openly been joked about on TV back then. A comedy where the protagonist had abandoned his wife and tiny children without a backwards glance [much less a dime of support] -until he found out he'd been declared dead and she was about to marry someone else and THAT is why he came alive again? Not funny. Oh, and I should also mention that this gambling rogue made little if any effort to try to reform himself after his 'revival'. Fred should have put Lamont [the show's 'star''s iconic role] and the whole concept in the junk pile! -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on September 11, 2012, 10:33 am - (0 votes)

They named Demond's rival on this show "Wallace Dickey". I wonder what THAT was supposed to be implying. -- Submitted By: (ParkerTillman) on September 10, 2012, 10:29 am - (0 votes)
