She played Mary Jenkins, a housewife who lived with her contractor husband, Lester and their 14-year-old daughter Brenda. Mary's best friend was Rose Lee Holloway, who used to sit out with her on the stoop of the apartment building (#227) and discuss many things, especially Sandra Clark, the wise-cracking, hyperactive, and often scatter-brained woman from upstairs. Rose had a daughter named Tiffany. Next door to the Jenkins was the gossipping, yet loving, Pearl Shay, a crotchety busybody who lived with her grandson Calvin Dobbs, who was Brenda's first love. Throughout the final two seasons, several new characters appeared.

Theme Song
There's no place like home.
With your family around you, you're never alone.
When you know that your loved,
You don't need to roam,
Cause there's no place like home

Time's are changing everyday.
We won't get by with the same old ways (Oh, no!).
Pulling together will make it right.
With help from are friends I know we'll get by,

Cause there's no place like home.
With your family around you you're never alone.
When you know that your loved,
You don't need to roam.
Cause there ain't no place like,
(Better believe it)
There ain't no place like
(Better believe it)
Cause there ain't no place like,
There's no place like home!

"I mean no place child".
