Outsourced domestic consultant Willona was a real-life-TV case study in the right way to conduct respectfully deferential, yet positive and innovative, communication with your boss.

I believe it was Marla Gibbs as Florence Johnston.

You are correct sir! It was Florence, not Willona. Willona was the nympho next door to Florida and James who made young Michael's nights restive and agitated.

I'd tell you it was a rare mistake ... but honestly: I'm still trying to figure out how "Chico" got hooked up with "The Man".

The seventies sitcoms are timeless treasures of wit, carefree hijinks and Adrienne Barbeau badda bing badda boom britches burstin' bliss ... still, I just wish some of these shows would have explored negative racial stereotypes.

If only Rerun ... would dance, jump, shake and work his overall wearing groove until Shirley delivered the verbal hammer down.

Some may say, I'm a dreamer. But I'm not the only one.
