I am guessing because there was friction between Jackee Harry and Marla Gibbs.

Yea Jackee was billed as a special guest star during the last season. The show had JTS by that point.

Yea. She was in the opening credits but only on the shows that she was in. NBC moved the show off Saturday halfway through the final year. I still haven't seen the last episode and I watched it almost to the end. lol

People say that but I disagree as this season is my second favorite. I loved the characters in this season. I'm disappointed that Jackee was not in the show all the way through but it was still a good season overall.

Last episode had Phyllis Diller sharing a hospital room with Mary. LOL. The show did return to Saturday to air off the last several episodes. And this is Jackee's billing and profile shot.

Yep. The one thing that his show did was bring in some noteable guests. I liked that the fact that they used Phyllis Diller.

Patient: OMG! They made me look like Phyllis Diller!!!!!
Mary: Child, I'd sue the hospital for that mistake!

It didn't seem like a FINALE but I guess they had no idea they would be cancelled. I just thought it was a regular episode

The higher ups and Marla mutully agreed that it was time to end the show. They had enough eps to run it in syndication and decided to end it there. In the fall of 1990, BET's "Screen Scene" reported that there was a rumor either 227 or Amen would be returning. It turns out that Amen was the show scheduled to return.

She decided to end the show? I think NBC decided to end the show since it finished below 30# LOL


I would only buy that it was her decision if the show was #13.

Like I said, it was a mutual choice.
