Finding Myself In 227
03.08.2022 - 14:19 / glamour.com
Reba and , there's undeniable humor and characters I adore but there isn't a bone-deep connection that reflects back to me the familiarity and warmth of where I come from. To be honest, I never thought I needed a show like that. As a Southern Black woman, I've grown accustomed, even numb, to not seeing myself and my cultural experiences on screen.
And then, after a recent through Hulu's “TV For You” suggestions, I hit play on the first episode of a show called 227.I vaguely remember catching glimpses of the beloved 1985 flashing across the televisions of my childhood—reruns, I know now, given the fact that I'm 20 years old and the show premiered 16 years before I was born—but discovering the series on my own felt like a cultural awakening. At face value, 227 offers a peek into the fairly ordinary lives of tenants in a Washington D.C., apartment building, 227 Lexington Place. The series largely revolves around Mary Jenkins (Marla Gibbs), a down-to-earth, sarcastic housewife involved in the lives of her neighbors, whether its bantering with landlady Rose (Alaina Reed Hall), frenemy Sandra (Jackée Harry), or busybody elder Pearl (Helen Martin); navigating her marriage to sweet Lester (Hal Williams); and being a mom to teenage Brenda (, in her first role).But look a little deeper and you'll find the comedy also makes a statement about how a Black community could be, in a word, regular.
Its relative normalcy was the point. “There weren't a lot of shows back then that gave us the sense that we had those kinds of relationships—mamas, daddies, aunts, uncles, and children that just want to go to school and [be] regular," Jackée Harry tells me over the phone. "That we could have a regular life and it doesn’t have to be that deep.

Father John Misty Finds Catharsis Amid a Musical Body Count in Hollywood Forever Cemetery Show: Concert Review
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music CriticOn the second evening of his two-night-stand at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, Father John Misty sang “Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings” early on in the show, as he does nearly every night on his current tour, and then confessed that, on the previous night, he’d blown a significant portion of the lyrics. At a loss to explain that uncharacteristic lapse, he attributed it to that particular song choice maybe being so on the nose that thinking about it kind of threw him a little.If he were a more woo-woo kind of person, maybe he’d have attributed it to the assembly of local spirits messing with him, for daring to be so meta as to finally play a gig on the hallowed-grounds-turned-entertainment-venue he named a song after.
