After leaving "227" in 1989, Harry starred opposite Oprah Winfrey in "The Women of Brewster Place", an adaptation of Gloria Naylor's novel of the same name. In 1990, she headlined an NBC comedy pilot from Witt/Thomas titled "We'll Take Manhattan"; it aired as a summer special that year, but did not make it to series. In late 1991, she joined the cast of "The Royal Family" after the star, Redd Foxx, unexpectedly died. She starred opposite two-time "227" guest-star Della Reese, but the series faltered in the ratings and was not renewed for a second season. In 1992, she starred as the assistant coach in "Ladybugs". Harry served as a guest panelist on the 2000 revival of "To Tell the Truth" and appeared on the second season of VH1's "Celebrity Fit Club 2" in 2005. From 1994 until 1999, Harry played Lisa Landry, the adoptive mother of Tia Mowry's character, on the sitcom "Sister, Sister".
