Bustin' Loose is an American sitcom starring Jimmie Walker based on the 1981 film of the same name which aired in first-run syndication from September 26, 1987 to September 11, 1988.
The show should not be confused with Busting Loose, an unrelated CBS situation comedy broadcast in 1977.
Jimmie Walker stars as Sonny Barnes, a former con artist, who had been caught by the authorities and sentenced to five years of community service. He was placed in the home of social worker Mimi Shaw (Vonetta McGee), who lived with four orphans: Rudey (Larry O. Williams, Jr.), Trish (Tyren Perry), Nikky (Aaron Lohr) and Sue Anne (Marie Cole). Sonny lived in the basement and worked around the house doing odd jobs. Meanwhile, the kids all loved listening to Sonny's ofttimes exaggerated tales.
