227 (TV series)

227 is an American sitcom that originally aired on the NBC network from September 14, 1985 to May 6, 1990. The program revolves around the lives of the occupants of a Washington, D.C. apartment building numbered 227, nearly all of whom are African American. While the neighborhood's location is never mentioned specifically, the opening credits include an altered photograph of a residential neighborhood close to the Washington Monument; such a neighborhood location is impossible, especially in light of the address.

Theme song

The theme song to 227 was written by television songwriter Ray Colcord, who went on to write the themes to The Torkelsons, Boy Meets World, and Promised Land. The message conveyed in the song was the strength of family bonds; titled "There's No Place Like Home," the theme was sung by series star Marla Gibbs.
