“Amen” is a sitcom that aired from 1986 to 1991 on NBC. The show stars Sherman Hemsley as Ernest Frye, the Deacon at the First Community Church, who also works as a personal injury lawyer. Ernest is known for his harebrained schemes and often finds himself in trouble due to his dishonesty. The dynamic at the Church starts to change after the hiring of the new pastor, Reverend Reuben Gregory (Clifton Davis). Upon arrival the Reverend quickly becomes the object of the Deacon's daughter's affection.
The show was set in Sherman Hemsley’s real-life hometown of Philadelphia and was part of a wave of successful sitcoms in the 1980s and early 1990s that featured predominantly black casts.
