The bus had stopped before Ken Berry even reacted to save Joey.

Vinton Harper from "Mama's Family"

That BUS though! :-D Brings back memories of riding that model of bus in the 70's.

What have happened if Mama would have been there? I think Vicki Lawrence Mama Harper meeting Nell would have been a classic and Addie and IOLA too .ps they probably would driven each other crazy RIP Nell Carter and Ken Berry

This episode aired 5 days before the infamous Cosby Show episode Happy Anniversary where the Huxtable family sung the Ray Charles song "Night Time is the Right Time" and beat every show by a landslide that same week in the ratings including this episode of Gimme a Break.

At least no one on this show was molesting people like Cosby was😢

Joey was adorable in this.

Oh my god it's Ken Berry from Mamas Family 😀

This is a cute and lighthearted episode. Nice break from some of the heavier storylines.

Ken Berry was a very talented dancer. He danced some on Mama's Family and entertained during that show's six year run. I'm glad to see him on here. He's still going strong at 84 years of age.

F troop mayberry rfd he was on more than Mama's family a great actor I'm only 39 and have seen lots with him in it. May he rest in love 🧡

I knew he looked familiar but I saw him on the Carol Burnett show and he danced and sang plenty. I just got watching her old shows last month. Katie was such an airhead.

Dave is actor Ken Berry, who played Vinton Harper on "Mama's Family".

They were at the bus stop but walked home anyway in the opsite directions...so what was the point of them being at the bus stop?...

What is that robot Joey is playing with at the beginning? Is it Skyfire/Jetfire from Transformers???

I agree this felt like a 'filler' episode with no purpose or point to it. While it had some comedic moments, it didn't fit the brand of the show. I guess it was done to give Joey an episode that he was the center of as they normally do for these shows give everyone their episode to shine.

It was never confirmed if he was an alien. For all we knew, he could have just been a mentally ill patient out on a day pass and was taking the bus back to the group home at the end. Thus, it was a plausible story line.
