I like to watch a lot of old TV shows just to see what the generation before got their laughs at and to compare it to the crap I was weaned on. Old family sitcoms are the best especially Good Times. I must say though, I saw the two part episode where James died. Florida has a wake at ther home for the deceased James Evans. He went to Mississippi for work and was supposed to send for his family but instead Florida got a telegram that he had been killed in an auto accident. She got the telegram on the day the family held a party to celebrate their relocation.

Anybody a fan of Good Times? Why did John Amos leave the show? Why did they have to have his exit be a death? Why couldn't the Evans ever get out of the ghetto? I swear the episodes following the absence of the father figure are so mediocre. Ester Rolle is cool but she just couldn't hold it down without John Amos.

John Amos was fired because he wanted more pay and the fact that he protested of the show's direction(Making J.J. and his clown acts to be the centre of the show when the primary idea of the show was the WHOLE family).

But then again, both shows(Jeffersons And Good Times) were what Norman Lear thought black America was all about I still watch the shows for nostalgic reasons but the older I get, the more I count the eyebrow moments.

They should have just paid Amos the money he wanted. He was such a central character to the show not just because of his great acting...but to portray a married father living in the ghetto...well that was probably unheard of back then. It was probably expected that women in poverty would be raising a gang of kids on their own.

I cannot watch those shows. I saw an old interview with Carole O'Connor and he was talking about his son who had died from a drug overdose and boy he was crying and his voice was cracking. It was so hard to watch - never saw a celeb break down like that. Can't look at him the same. I won't even watch that movie he did with Poitier - In The Heat of The Night.

You know what? I'd never seen Florida that sad and suffering before. She's been hurt and dissappointed on other episodes but this was the worst of it all. You have James expressing his anger time and again with Florida being the voice of reason and soothing his temper and comforting him but on this particular episode...she was truly all alone and holding it all in and still she hid her face and tears even from the viewing public which was some really good direction if you ask me. Lord I did not see the punch bowl coming. I think a lot of sistahs go through that - a breaking point. You never really know how sad they are because they hold it all in to be strong for everyone else. Don't get me wrong...women of other ethnicities are like this too but I think sistahs are holding it down in greater numbers which leads to more stress and more moments of:

I love Good Times, and currently going through the full season by season show, currently on the last. What I thought was really effed up was how the audience laughed at the most innapropriate times. Like when Thelma's husband Keith got drunk and snapped at her and the slapped her. The audience did the typical, "wooh", then a bunch of them started cracking up!!! I wish I was video-editing saavy, cause I'd compile something for YouTube. It's happened so many times, I wonder about the "clientele" that would go to these live tapings. Then of course, my favorite, who I like to call the "Right On Lady" Everytime someone, mainly Florida would say something really profound and truthful, right before the applause, you would her some black woman yell, "Right--ON!!!" And yeah, John Amos got written out of the show because he was REAL, and bumped horns with the writers and producers about the content, and development of JJ, and other issues. Ironically he pops up on 2 1/2 men as a gay partner of Charlie's fiancee's dad, played by Stacy Keach. Hilarious.

I would have to say that I have a particular fondness for the reoccurring characters. Wanda. Loved her "kick" at the end of the Rent Party episode. And Sweet Daddy's main woman, Savannah Jones, who gave more than a thumbs down to JJ's painting of her: "That ain't HARDLY me!!" Some will recognize her as later playing the hardworking stressed mother of that kid who Florida discovers is hard of hearing. And of course she played the great Myra from the tv show Martin. See also Which Way Is Up (1977) for more of her spectacular antics. The show did get silly at times after James left. He was awesome. I loved when Sweet Daddy said something smart-assed to James, and James said, "Nigga I'll.." and the audience busted up. I could go on, but it's obvious I love the show. I dig 70s and early 80s sitcoms. It was a special time for tv, and not that politically correct. Why actually, on the Jeffersons, "ni&&a" was thrown around like a tennis ball. I recall when George revealed to Wheezie that he bought a $300.00 watch..

I think E! did a behind the scenes of Good Times. From what I remember John Amos and Ester Rolle were not happy because Jimmy Walker emerged as the star of the show, thus John Amos left the series. Ester Rolle left the series for a year (came back later). Well the show was about a family living in the projects so the last episode was them leaving the projects.

And while John Amos did have beef because Jimmy Walker was being showcased as the breakout star, his protests weren't stemmed by mere jealousy of the younger actor, I understand, but pointedly by the buffoonery the writers and producers were exploiting in Walker's character. Similar problems with the sociopolitical direction of the show would be raised later by other cast and crew members.

Powers played football player Keith Anderson, the husband of Thelma Evans, played by BernNadette Stanis, in "Good Times." The show was a Norman Lear hit about a black family struggling to make it in inner-city Chicago.

Powers also appeared as Moochie in the 1980s CBS series "Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer" with Stacey Keach, and had guest roles on other TV shows including "Gimmie a Break," ''Flamingo Road," ''The Greatest American Hero," ''The New Odd Couple," and "Laverne & Shirley." 006ab0faaa
