The Royal Family - Della Reese and Redd Foxx

wikipedia

Royal Family was a television series created by Eddie Murphy. It ran for one season on CBS from 1991-1992.   It was a great comedy to me and it was fun seeing Redd Foxx in a comedy series again after Sanford and Son in 1971- 1977. When he came back to television, he was young as ever. I thought the show was going to turn out to be a big hit. The next thing I knew, Redd Foxx had a heart attack and died. So the show could not continue to go as high as I believed it would have. Then in 1994, Della Reese brought us Touched by an Angel. It was a series that ran up until 2003. There were 9 seasons and the series was a big hit for television.
