Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Sophia comes home to find The Girls, Dorothy's son Michael and his new fiancée Lorraine, who is black, along with her mother and two aunts - not to mention Blanche and Rose, whose mud-packed faces look for all the world like Al Jolson blackface - she quips, "What is this, a revival of 'Raisin in the Sun'? Besides being funny per se, it is also likely an "inside" compliment to Virginia Capers, the actress who plays Lorraine's mother, as she won the 1974 Tony award as Best Lead Actress in a Musical for her performance in 'Raisin', the musical based on 'A Raisin in the Sun'. Also, the first name of Michael's fiancée - Lorraine - could well be a "nod" to the author of 'A Raisin in the Sun', Lorraine Hansberry.
- GoofsMichael's age is given as 23. In the earlier episode Family Affair (1986), his age was given as 29.

Featured review
This episode isnt on prime
Ive been watching this show from the start and for some reason this episode isn't there. If I go to another source then a different episode is missing. Not sure if Prime is racist or what as this episode is about Dorothy's son engages to an older black lady and has amazing actress in it.
