Casietta and Amelia Hetebrink were members of the board for the First Community Church of Philadelphia. They were Thelma Frye's best friends, or at least they acted that way. They usually made fun of Thelma, because she wasn't married, but come to think of it neither were they? They used to tease Thelma about her cooking, but theirs was not much better. Remember the episode, where they made macaroni salad with mayonnaise, and forgot to refrigerate it.

9. In the last season of the show, what was it that Deacon Frye finally became?

Answer: Judge

As the show was coming to an end, the producers and directors of the hit series, decided to finally give Ernie Frye is dream. They made him Judge Deacon Ernest Frye. Now he could wreak havoc on the judicial system.

10. In one episode, Deacon Frye wanted to earn money for his church, so they held a telethon. Which famous singer did Deacon Frye impersonate?

Ernie impersonated 'The Godfather Of Soul', James Brown. He had told everyone that James Brown was going to appear. Well the members of his church soon found out that Ernie was lying. Amazingly enough, after Ernie, had performed 'I Feel Good', the real James Brown appeared. That was one cool episode. All information can be found at 'Sitcomsonline.com'.
