which was about life in the projects, one time a ghost showed up.
He told everyone he was an "apparition-American."



It was a great show, produced by Ron Howard and Eddie Murphy. It was not politically correct, so it was canceled after one season. You had to listen to the dialogue closely. The main character was named Thurgood Orenthal Stubbs. His wife called him Goody.

It took me awhile to figure out that "Stubbs" was referring to Levi Stubbs of The Four Tops.
