u crazy. that episode when she got burned with that iron? that sheit had me like

You will never read the truth in the white media.
The truth is that when John Amos left the show, he landed the role of Kunte Kinte in Roots. He got to portray the strong Black Man, and the contrast made Good Times look stupid.
Esther Rolles left Good Times after hearing about John's new part. She wanted a number of changes. The show tanked when she departed, even though the producers tried everything from Bookman to Penny. Eventually, the producers caved, and gave Rolles what she wanted, but by then TV audiences had seen Roots. The writers and producers of Good Times had no clue as to how to adapt.
Roots changed the portrayal of Black comedy on Television forever. Compare Jay Jay to the Fresh Prince or Martin to see the difference.
still wonder whatever happened to diana after that..
at first i thought that was laurence fishburne playing the dope pusher LOL
speaking of penny anyone remember that episode where penny got busted for shoplifting? gotta watch that one w/ the volume up a little so u can listen to the audience reactions when penny takes the jewlery,they all like"Awww no!!/dont do it!!" etc

Thelma's husband's a real dork imo. The show is okay, but obviously gone downhill

I never even SEEN that episode
i believe its called"The Evans's Dilemma"
If someone doesn't post "The Big Mac" ass-whoopin' I'll be highly dissappointed. If the "Big Mac" was still performed today we wouldn't have all of these homo thug bitch boys walkin' around today.

Thanks for the info.
shit was depressing, I liked it when it was on, but it doesn't have re-watch value....
(it was like Gulligan's Island, the same premise. Instead of leaving the island, they were attempting to always leave the ghetto.)
