HEY EVERYONE, YESTERDAY I WAS DEATHLY BORED, SO I FLIPPED THROUGH THE CHANNELS AND SETTLED IN ON TV ONE. THEY WERE HAVING A "TV ONE IDOL" IN WHICH YOU CAN VOTE ON WHICH SHOW HAD THE BEST MUSICAL EPISODE. WELL, THEY SHOWED AN EPISODE OF 227 WHEN MARY (AND THEM'S) CHURCH NEEDED SOME FUNDRAISER MONEY FOR THIER CHURCH AND SOMEHOW A GROUP OF MENS' TIRES ON THIER CAR GOT BUSTED AND THEY IRONICALLY WENT TO MARY'S APARTMENT....THEY WERE NONE ONLY THAN THE TEMPTATIONS!!! AS THE STORY WENT ON, THEY AGREED TO DO THE TALENT SHOW, BUT HAD TO CANCEL BECAUSE THEY HAD A SHOW IN CHICAGO. MARY( AND THEM) GOT DISAPPOINTED AND THEY THREW TOGETHER THE MOST WHACKEST SHOW ROUTINE TO PUT ON AT THE TALENT SHOW . THANK GOD THE TEMPTS CAME ON TIME AFTER CANCELING THIER SHOW AND BROUGHT DOWN THE HOUSE WITH "TREAT HER LIKE A LADY" AND "GET READY", RAISING ENOUGH MONEY FOR THE CHURCH. I LOVED IT! BUT I'VE GOT A QUESTION: WHEN THE GUYS WERE SINGING "GET READY", ONE OF THE TEMPTS TOOK LEAD ON THAT ONE.(NO IT WAS NOT EDDIE KENDRICKS!) I KNOW THEY WERE SINGING "TREAT HER LIKE A LADY" AND BY THE LOOKS OF IT, THE YEAR WAS ABOUT '85/'86. I KNOW FOR SURE IT WAS OTIS, MELVIN, AND ALI WOODSON. BUT WHO WERE THE OTHER TEMPTS IN THE GROUP AT THAT TIME? I HOPE I DIDN'T SOUND TOO CONFUSING ;D

Shouldn't it have been Ron and Richard for that time period?
Wow I remember watching 227 as a kid, but don't remember seeing the Tempts. It would be great if someone could get hold of a copy and post their segment.

The episode in which The Temptations appeared was #27. It was shown on November 15, 1986. They have 227's first season (1985) on DVD, but I did not see listed any DVD availability for 1986. Perhaps Weaky knows whether this is available.

Oh how cool, I turned 15 on that day. There's pictures of me at my birthday party so that explains why I missed the Temptations on the show that day. I knew I had to have a good reason for missing it. ;D
Hey Weaky, you know where I could get a copy of that?

OF COURSE IT WAS RICHARD AND RON....I SHOULDA KNOWN IT WAS RICHARD AT LEAST(FROM HIS LIGHTER COMPLEXION ;D). ANYHOW, IT WOULD BE GREAT IF SOMEONE COULD POST A SEGMENT OF THAT EPISODE....IT WAS HILARIOUS, ESPECIALLY HOW SANDRA (THE FLIRT WHORE) WAS ALL UP ON ALI AND MELVIN, AND HOW THEY SORT OF PUSHED HER TO THE SIDE THE EPISODE IS NOT PROBABLY ON THE FIRST SEASON DVD. IT SEEMS THAT LATE IN THAT YEAR, IT WAS PROBABLY THE SECOND SEASON.......

The episode with The Temptations was shown on November 15, 1986, in the second season. There is a DVD out of the first season's shows. I do not know whether companies release DVD's season by season or how that is decided. But one can hope that they will release the second season too.

Hello, Temptress.
Ever since Katrina with Tempt concerts cancelled, I have been searching for the right place and the right time to attend a concert.
I am thinking of going to Michigan and to Detroit with a visit to Hitsville this summer.
I think more and more shows of the past are being put on DVD. I'd like to see the Hollywood Palace shows put on DVD. And I am hoping that the powers that be will put one artist or group on a DVD with various performances. I understand the cost of that wish is prohibitive whereas as it would be possible to put a TV show oon.

I know Jane...Katrina wrecked The Grand(our concert hall for the Tempts) while doing her thing. Try to come to Peachtree City. Hope you enjoy Hitsville. I heard it was a lot of fun. As for as shows on DVDs... the shows I have on tape (David and Eddie on SoulTrain and the Tempts with Richard) I'd love to rerecord them to DVD.
