I think one of my favorite episodes from the 4th season was JJ and the Older Woman..I loved the actress that played the older paramour.

I forgot to tell you that I could tell that Shirley was a funny character on What's Happening because the studio audience was going crazy as soon as she appeared on Good Times.

What confused me about that episode was how Michael was in a relationship with a pretty girl in he Big Move and not nervous at all. Then of a sudden he is nervous around some girl who was not as attractive as the girl he was with in the Big Move. Which brings me to another question. If the Evans moved to Missippi where was the girl he was going to break up with? Shouldn't have still been around?-LOL

She was nothing like the Shirley character from What's Happening in that episode. They had her playing an EXTREMELY DUMB role

Im sorry my message was blank. Yes that episode was funny. Florida meets a man at the club and starts dancing with him. Then while Florida is at the club she sees Bookman cheating on his wife with another woman-lol Bookman was telling the woman his name was Barry Belafonte. The Brother of Harry-lol

I like part 2 of the episode where James died the best. The dramatic tension was very real in that more so than any other ep that year.

That scene when Florida slams the punch bowl down and screams Damm Dam Damm was so real. It was almost like it wasn't acting anymore. I bet a lot of people at work the nex morning on Sept 30, 1976 was talking about that scene all day.

Maybe she was cursing for real, because of the fact that she was going to have to interact with Walker alone without Amos being there.

I read in a 1975 Ebony that Jimmie Walker didn't have a close relationship with any of the cast members. Walker said he wouldn't have walked past any of the cast members if he saw them on the street but just wasn't close to any of them. That sounds ODD.

Actually it does not surprise me; Walker was the "Star" of the show, with his ubiquitious catch phrase of the day "Dy-no-mite!", that would make the other actors on the show, especially Rolle and Amos, to feel threatened or to feel that Walker was not worthy of such attention because he was a novice actor at the time.

I just finished the third season this past weekend.

I am going to watch the fourth season this week.

Right now, I go with Michael The Warlord!

The one where Florida threatens to hit the warlord with the bat in her hand

great moment

as for walker, i dont think he is close to anything with good times, he doesnt want to be associated, because his publicist told me he doesnt talk about Good Times to interviewers (including me). he wont be in dear norman.

Make sure you watch the episode-"Judy Cohen Story"
and stay away from the episode-"A Friend In Need"

The guy who locked himself in the bathroom actor Ralph Wilcox whom I met back in 92' when he was in Tampa filming the Burt Reynolds movie "A Cop and A Half". He came to my school to talk with us about the movie and other shows he has done and attended our church while he was in town. I met him again when he returned to Tampa and came to one of our youth church meetings which was about a year later. He is a very nice man. He took both of his sons with to Tampa while he flimed "Cop". I

always liked his work. He was funny as "Hinkley" on one episode of "Maude". He and his girlfriend were trying to scheme to get money from Maude to pursue a non existent singing career and they tried to get over on Maude and Walter with some awful revised version of Yankee Doodle song they created and of course, Maude was trying to believe them while Walter wasn't buy their act. If was funny. They sang the lyrics to the tune "Rockin' Robin."

Asides from the "Warlords" ep. when Florida had that getting ready to knock somebody out, I loved it TAMU and Shirley Hemphill held up the Evans family. When the gun fell to the floor and Wilona picked it up and yelled "freeze", I was rolling.

Make sure you watch the episode-"Judy Cohen Story"
and stay away from the episode-"A Friend In Need"


That should say stay away from the episode-"Judy Cohen Story"

That should say stay away from the episode-"Judy Cohen Story"


I wonder what the story was behind Judy appearing on Good Times. I have to start researching again.lol

Definitely Michael the Warlord.
