Thanx Craftman for Season One...I am enjoying watching it this weekend. Such a sweetheart!!!

Anyway, I was watching the Vita-Brite episode and when Michael begins to sing and dance, the family gets up from the table, which then causes JJ to turn around and quickly glance at the camera look away and he says "Black....(something)" I can't figure out what it is he is saying. I played it back at least five times but still can't make out what JJ is saying. I know he is referencing to what Michael is doing, but it seems as if he said something that wasn't scripted. Can anyone else with the DVD figure it out?

I can only make out-"???, Blackmarket" I can't make out what he said before I heard blackmarket

i find it so odd that any line by Jimmie was not clear...u know what I mean, everything he said was for a reason.

It sounds like "Thelma get some black market" though I don't think that's what he says. Black market: yes, but I don't know about the other part. I don't think it was necessarily unscripted (unplanned), there was probably direction for them to be surprised at the effect it had on Michael and so JJ reacted by saying Vita Brite was a black market drink.

I guess.

hmmmm, at least you both were able to hear more than I did...but I never caught on to that until I watched the DVD...funny how things you will have never noticed before, are now possible.

To me it sounds like he's saying, "Thelma get some black coffee"

hmmmmm....maybe...since black coffee is given to people who are drunk...:)

He defintely didn't say anything about Coffee

Well when I watched it and played it back, it sound's like JJ says, Thelma get some black coffee, to me it does anyway.

I don't know where you would get black market from, they weren't talking about black anything.

do u think it was something like..."u could sell this on the black market" or
"this stuff must be black market" or maybe this: "u could only get this AT a black market"

I agree with Retro, it's clearly black MARKET.

Yeah and I have and I still think he says black coffee.

That's probably what it was because he defintely said Black Market

Are you sure u were watching Good Times?-LOL

Don't worry Brie, I got yo' back. He definitely said BLACK COFFEE.

Hint: (For others that don't believe,(especially Retro) use the subtitle feature on the DVD. If you got the DVD.;) )

I never knew Coffee and Market sounded alike-lol

I turned on the subtitles when watching it, nothing came up for J.J.'s dialogue. For those that don't believe, put your ear to the speaker. He said MARKET.

Thanks craft, I turned on my subtitle and JJ does say "thelma get some black coffee". Why would he say black market, that doesn't make any sense.

Your welcome.

This doesn't happen very often but yes, I was wrong, I must admit. I was wrong TWICE, which is even worse. First, when I said subtitles I should have said closed captions (there's a difference). The captions didn't show anything for the line J.J. said but subtitles did. Second, I listened again, and it was coffee, not market. I guess I just went with what Retro said, but we were wrong.

And some people were yelling Market at me

So which do you want, an award or a medal? It ain't that serious.
