Summary: 5 Stars
227 was an awesome sitcom. I used to watch it every Saturday night. The series revolved around former "Jeffersons" star Marla Gibbs and her family and busybody neighbors. Among the best character in the series has to be Sandra Clark (played by Jackée Harry). Sandra was always my favorite because she was so funny and over the top.
Here's a list of all the episodes included in the Season One set as well as their original air dates:
Honesty (September 14, 1985)
Mary scratches a BMW and then decides reluctantly to leave a note. After she leaves her note the luxury car is then hit again; this time much worse by another car!

Pilot (October 26, 1985)
This is the original pilot but it aired out of order. The landlord passes away and everyone thinks that he has left the building to sexy Sandra. But everyone is amazed to find out that Rose is the new owner. Rose inherits the building and all of the building violations that busybody Mary reported to the housing bureau (because she thought Sandra would be the new owner). This episode also was a "to be continued" episode.
The Sidewalk Sale (November 2, 1985)
The tenants all pull together and have a sidewalk sale to raise money to help Rose save the building. They almost lose the money when it's put inside a lamp that was sold.
