I dont know since her name is not Woppi. Its Whoppi

If you google it, youll find plenty of info on the show. I believe the show itself is called Whoopi.

Beaverhausen - I'm remembering these five characters:
Fontaine
Valley Girl
Jamaican cleaning woman
Little girl
Physically challenged woman

And I thought it was one of the greatest things I've ever seen - an acting masterpiece.

The fact that BOYFROMOZ has not corrected the title puzzles me, but everyone's responses to the mis-spelling has given me a good chuckle.

At the time, the show was called THE GOLDBERG VARIATIONS.

I love the Jamaican woman who eventually married the old Jewish man she calls "the old raisin".

Judging from the posters who liked the show, it's going on my list of "shows I might watch if I have money." Right along with...well, more shows than I'll be able to afford.

I love her. I was probably one of the few who found her television show hysterically funny.

I will definately come to see this.
Fontaine "Bitch, I been thru yer pocketbook, I know where you live"
The valley girl was so good... "He said okay I said Okay Okay Okay"
The Jamaican Lady -- the old raison getting all unwrikled for her.... lol
The little girl about bleaching herself so she would turn white

and the lady who was handicapped dancing to beat it and whip it and ite it and kick it
