What Might've Been: Jackee (1989)

Jackee Harry was the breakout star of NBC's 227, which launched in 1985. Someone decided that she was worth a spin-off series, so following the 4th season, Jackee, who dropped her last name pro tempore, was given a try-out with Jackee, which, as you'll see, was later packaged as part of 227's syndicated package. This clip comes from an airing on Logo.



There have been many cases of a supporting player being unable to carry a show as a lead, Tim Conway and Jerry Van Dyke being two of the most legendary cases. Jackee falls into this category.

Rating: C.
