Most Memorable TV Moments in Television History on TV LAND, Monday December 6, 2004. It's number 82 on the list.

I would think her crashing that punch bowl saying, "Damn, Damn, Damn!" would make the list over her reaction of James' death.

Why did they have her fat ass on there?-lol First of all she was too young to have watched the 2nd part of The Big Move on September 29, 1976.

She might have seen it. I saw the original airing and I think I'm younger than Mo'nique. Either way, I think with the Black audience, that scene is a classic scene, everyone knows about it.

I don't want to hear any comments from anyone who was 7 years old or younger when they watched that episode in 76. I prefer the person to have atleast been in highschool at the time.

Very powerful scene. I also think the scene where she gets the telegram is just as powerful, because she is all excited and then she finds out James is dead, and Michael falls into her arms.

I thought Jimmie Walker was a jerk during the interview about the scene, when he said he wanted to get the two part show over with and move on. Yeah so he could take control of the show now that the really strength of the show was gone.

Yeah, the strength of the show was gone, when they focused mainly on the JJ character, I mean, in my opinion, the show was still very good, but it lost some of it's depth when Jimmie Walker was the center of things...

Yeah i heard that ******* talking about he just wanted to get back to the comedy. I guess his ugly ass couldn't wait to say dynomite again. Jimmie Walker is stupid and ugly.

Not to mention untalented and unfunny.

I agree- that was beyond being merely cold to both James and the actor John Amos, it was snotty to the rest of the cast! I wish they'd interviewed John Amos about James's death (and he's still living)!

This is why I can't wait for Season 4, even though I, like many of you, would have preferred James to have remained alive. It's like Edith's death on Archie Bunker's Place. If that ever comes out on DVD (and it should), I'll definitely buy it, even though I didn't much care for the show in its later incarnation. Those death scenes are pivotal and the acting is top notch.

I can see where he might have appeared insensitive, and who knows, perhaps he was being just that. I took it to mean that he, like the other members of the cast, was upset over Amos' firing (and the killing of James) and he wanted that over and done with since it was too painful or uncomfortable.

Danielle Brisebois said the same thing when it came to doing Edith's death episodes on Archie Bunker's Place. She remarked that everyone was upset doing that episode and was eager to move on and do something lighter. It had nothing to do with not showing respect for Jean Stapleton or Edith. Given how loved Edith was, the episodes became too 'real' for the actors. (Norman Lear was the most adamant about NOT killing her off). It hit them too close where they live, never mind the tension and upset over Jean having left the show.

Perhaps Jimmy Walker meant it the same way. I'm sure behind the scenes Esther Rolle was fit to be tied about Amos' firing (anyone know if Amos & Rolle got along? They moaned about the same things, but they hardly seemed to be a united front!) and was probably not a pleasure to work with at the time. Ralph Carter said he was upset about this too. With the whole cast being upset, wouldn't it be natural for him to want to move on and try to carry the show from that point? Amos was fired, James was killed off, and nothing was going to change that. Better to have a good cry, accept the situation as it is, and then move on. I'd be willing to bet that's what Jimmy Walker meant.

If he didn't and he was being callous, then you're all right, he is a jerk, but until we have more to draw on, let's give him the benefit of the doubt. Is this ok with any of you? It is? Dy-no-mite!

Jimmie Walker was and will always be a bumbling idiot

I saw this last night on TV Land. Who the hell Jimmie Walker think he is saying, "I wanted the 2 parter to be over so I could just get back to doing comedy." He is so ugly he looked like a monster. He shouldn't have done that interview. And Monique ain't got no neck. I dissed her enough on the Parkers board.

These comments are hilarious.

I would think that this moment would at LEAST make it in the top 50. Anyone, who is everyone, knows that:
DAHM, DAHM, DAHM line, down to her hand movements, eye rolling and accent.

That was rather rude of Jimmie Walker. It's not just the killing off of a character, it is the tragic departure of a strong actor. He could at least show some respect for that. James MADE that show for the first seasons and represented an honorable, AA father figure just trying to do right by his family. That character contributed a great deal beyond slapstick.

Someone brought up All in the Family and how they dealt with his wife's death. Awesome writing and one of the best episodes of its type. I'd like to own that one myself.

In a way, some people can relate to something like that. A true story: My aunt passed over four years ago and her daughter remained "strong", even throughout the funeral. She didn't break a punch bowl or get emotional afterwards, but she had to go to the doctor over it. It seems that she trying to hide her emotions too much and it started affecting her mentally.
