Featured review
The Fosters 1976
Just to correct the last reviewer, Samuel Foster was a Father of 3, but that's pretty obvious. What's amazing is that I remember watching the show when it first came out, It was great to see Black folk on TV and we all loved Lenny Henry. looking back now living in America and after seeing every episode of Good Times. I can see why it didn't last more than 2 seasons in Briton. It's not that the acting wasn't good for the times, and it was really amazing to see a black family on TV back in 1976, but the struggles and mentality of Black people in Briton and that of Black Americans weren't exactly transferable. I wish they didn't borrow so much from the American version. Still happy to have had it on. and to have found it again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gJ49S9tdN4
