Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Amen is an American television sitcom produced by Carson Productions that aired on NBC from September 27, 1986, to May 11, 1991. Set in Sherman Hemsley's real-life hometown of Philadelphia, Amen stars Hemsley as the deacon of a church and was part of a wave of successful sitcoms on NBC in the 1980s and early 1990s that featured predominantly black casts – others included The Cosby Show, A Different World, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and 227. The series also marked Sherman Hemsley's return to the television series since The Jeffersons concluded its eleventh-season run on CBS in 1985. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
