"Walker is one of the funniest sights available on the tube. He has the neck movement of an automatic sprinkler, and the bulb-eyed glare of an aggravted emu, all supported by a physique that resembles an inverted 6-foot tuning fork."

I know what you mean. Calling Thelma never made sense to me.

One of J.J ugly jokes should have been written for Thelma because it would have been much funnier. J.J said Themla was the covergirl for UGLY ILLUSTRATED. Now if she had said that to him, the studio audience would have EXPLODED!-LOL

Once again, this brings us back to one thing-the Good Times writers were not good-LOL

bump

Yeah JJ was really ugly but it was his behavior and attitude that made his ugliness all the more extreme. In Spike Lee's Bamboozled they have a scene of him that morphs into a turn of the century stereotypical drawing. It's funny that when I was in jhs guys who looked more or less like him would crack about how ugly Florida was.
