View Full Version : Redd Foxx was mentioned on Good Times....
GARFIELDKOOL 02-18-2005, 10:16 PM .....at least 5 times that I know of. His name came out of all that shows cast members mouth. I guess that was showing him respect as an actor and a comedian. Also, a black comedian on a sitcom at that time, it gave the Evans family someone who they could identify with.

The episode-"TV Commercial" in season 1
The episode-"There no Bottom in the Bottle" in season 2
The episode-"Operation Florida" in season 3.
GARFIELDKOOL 02-19-2005, 03:24 PM Are you sure? I know you are a TVShowAnalyzer (no pun intended) but I know for a fact I heard his name five times. I can't think off hand Willona and J.J. mentioned his name.

Willona and J.J. did mention Redd Foxx. I know it for a fact. I can't remember the episodes, but they did mention him. If you have every episode of Good Times like I do, whether on vhs or dvd, I suggest you go back and research.

I do know that Redd Foxx was only mentioned during the James Evans era. And I just can;t think of when Willona or J.J mentioned him. Wait I think J.J may have said this TV set is so old that Redd Foxx comes out white. I think.

I told you. Willona mentioned him too. I just can't think right now.
Jefffalan 02-20-2005, 07:13 PM YES! Willona did mention Redd Foxx. I remember now it was the Reverend Sam episode("God's Business Is Good Business"-Season 1). She said, "I know You. You're the dude on T.V. who makes more money than BOB HOPE and REDD FOXX put TOGETHER!!!"

I know Willona or J.J said the TV is so old Redd Foxx comes out White. I can't think of which one said it.
Jefffalan 02-20-2005, 07:23 PM I'm pretty sure it was J.J. who said that about the television set. He was always making cracks about how bad it worked. I think that was the episode where James(John Amos) was going to be on TV to get a reward. Back in the Good Ole Days of Good Times.
BTW How do you like Season 4? It's not quite as bad as I remember. There are some good eps. Still not the same without James . . .

That's the episode! Thanks Jeffalan.

Yeah I remember that. Now I have to think if J.J ever made a reference to him

I do like a bunch of the episodes from season 4. But, like you said, no James. Damn, Damn, Damn!!! (Ha ha ha)

No that's the ep.-That episode was-"windfall" and J.J statement about the Old TV set was-"THe set is so old that it still shows Jackie Gleason on Saturday night"
