OR

I gotta go with Benson.

Benson was THE BOMB!!! I loved that whole cast!!!

This one is a tossup. I remember the Gimme A Break episode when

the chief slapped the shit out of one his daughters for lying to him

about smoking.

You actually remember THAT episode?

BTW, remember the (controversial) episode when Neil confronted the the late chief's youngest daughter for putting the blackface on Joey?!?

I don't right offhand but if i saw it, it might come back to me. I didn't know the show

lasted until 1987.

BTW everyone, the first 2 seasons of Benson are posted on Hulu.

Benson was better written and more adult in its humor, also it was a spin off from Soap one of the best damn tv shows ever to grace the airwaves.

Benson.

My best friend Jarrett has always reminded me of Benson. I still call him that sometimes when he says something sarcastic.

Benson. I used to love that show.

I don't think the other was shown in the UK.

Both shows were great but I like "Gimme A Break" more. Nell Carter was one of my alltime favorites.

Gimme A Break, by far.

Another Gay for Gimmie a Break

I can even remember the episode with Shitney Houston before she was famous. She played one of Katie's friends and Katie was wanting to drop out of school and open up a clothing store. Nell told her, "That's it, no more black friends for you!". I saw the episode a few years later when it was in reruns and Shitney was a major star in the music world. I kept looking and looking for the black friend that Nell was talking about but couldn't find her.

Damn, that Neil Carter knew how to rib.

Gimme A Break. It was in syndication in the early 90s. I used to watch it almost every morning during the summer when school was out. I loved Nell's character....reminded me of my aunt. I vaguely remember watching Benson.

For those with Netflix, Gimme A Break has been added to the Instant watch.
