"227" is a comedy about the tenants of an apartment building in Washngton, D.C. It features a group of competent actors but suffers from lackluster writing. Much of the dialogue is tired and clichéd.
Comparing it to one of its contemporary shows, "The Golden Girls", can help illustrate. On TGG, the dialogue and the humor is sharper. This might explain the huge discrepancy in award nominations and wins.
Jackee helped add zing, but not enough to elevate the show above mediocrity.
