I would have liked to see James and the boys at the Barbershop. Then again, Michael was always letting his FRO grow out

Even though getting a haircut was never mentioned, Michael's fro came down in the last season. That's strange, considering fros were still in style in 1978-79. I remember myself having a fro in 1981. LOL

Thelma: "Oh Daddy, you are the only man I will ever love. I don't ever want to get married."

Michael: "Mama, is there anymore vanilla ice cream?"

JJ: "Thelma, does this look good on me?"

James: "I'll wash the dishes for you baby."

Thelma: "Oh Daddy, you are the only man I will ever love. I don't ever want to get married."

If I wasn't a Good Times fan, I'd swear Thelma and James were going together. LOL

And Michael....as pro-black as he was when he was younger, he wanted to move in with that white girl (Nancy Morgan, John Ritter's ex-wife) in season six.

Well, considering Thelma loved that older man, I guess she was open to just abt any older man. (ooooooh....ouch!!) lol

Florida: "I ain't gonna cook jack s**t, ya'll make breakfast yourselves!!"

James: "Come on kids, we're going out to eat!"

James: "Baby, with no jobs coming in, I guess you're gonna have to go apply for food stamps."

Michael: "Sleeping here with you JJ makes me feel so warm at night."

Seeing JJ Buff or muscular. It would have been funny if the actor started working out & got some meat on his bones before the next season start.LOL, I'm pretty sure they would have found something else to pick on JJ about lol.

MICHAEL: Mama, I found this old guy in the street who needs a place to stay for the night. His name's Archie--- Archie Bunker.

WILLONA: If only I could find a good man and stop working at the Boutique!

FLORIDA: TAKE the money and let's get the HELL outta the ghetto! And, James, maybe you SHOULD take that job in Alaska . . .

Thelma: (to her fiance, pick any one of the many fiances'!!) "I can't, I'm sorry, I really need to finish school and get a career established before I even consider marriage."

James: "C'mon Florida, let's go to the welfare office before the day gets late."

James: "Hi Willona, come on in, have some coffee."

Willona: "I knocked, but nobody heard me, so I just came in."

Diana: "JJ I love you, but I have a bad problem with drugs. If I don't get help soon, I am gonna go out that bathroom window and go find me what I need!"

JJ: "I can't wear that hat, it makes me look stupid."

J.J.: "somebody in this household needs to get serious!"

James: (to that sexy lady in the cabin) "Damn baby, you lookin' fiiiiiine!!!!!!"

JJ: "Ma and dad you were both right abt Diana, she is a junkie. She even left me by going out the window of the motel that we were at!" "I didn't bother to go outside and look for her cuz she was already gone, so what was the point?"

Michael: "I'm gonna kick that kid's ass at school if he bullies me again!"

The Evans Kids: "Oh mama, we'd love to move to Arizona and get outta this damn ghetto."

LOL I know, I went on and on and on!

Outside of a doctor. You will never see a compassionate intelligent white person on Good Times.

When White actors are on Good Times you wonder how they are not the ones uneducated and in the ghetto.

Brian Damage started a thread abt this and the forum kinda turned real ugly. It wasn't meant to be disrespectful. I knew what he meant, and so did alot of others. It just seemed that "whitey" was either dumb, ignorant, racist, out to get the black man, prejudice, goofy, "trying to act black", etc.
