Delores Samuels

Dolores Samuels (formerly Delores Parker) is Terrell's mother. A kind but stern lady, she is sometimes frustrated by Terrell's antics, such as his difficulties in planning a wedding. She is very fond of her son and Sammo, and wants them to be safe on all of their missions.

She used to live in Chicago, where she was married to a firefighter. After he passed away while fighting a fire, she moved to Los Angeles, where she had other relatives. Dolores brought along their three children: Terrell, Lynn, and a second son, whose name is unknown.

During the course of the show, Dolores remarries to a man named Ralph Samuels, who owns a chain of grocery stores. She helps him with bookkeeping, in order to save his business some money.

Terrell has mentioned that his mother still does his laundry, getting angry if he takes it to the laundromat.

Dolores Samuels is played by Marla Gibbs.
