I don't think I realized how many folks played different characters on that show. For instance, the guy that played Sweet Daddy - wasn't he a nightclub owner as well when JJ was trying to be the singer's manager (and he had borrowed money YET AGAIN from the loansharks)?
Also, when Thelma brought home the old guy, played by Lou Gossett, Jr., he also in another episode played Florida's brother.
But I bet we all know the words to the theme song now, don't we?
