I wonder if it had something to do with him vacationing at a island and being in the Sun all day. I'm thinking since Rehearsals start in July, maybe John Amos had just returned from a vacation. I think that's the only episode that John Amos was the same complexion as Ebe-LOL

well being on the west coast, gonna have to check that episode out when it comes on later. lol

He looks like that in The Family Gun and Real Cool Job.

Maybe he had just finished Roots, in that movie he was in the sun.

Hmm, I never noticed.

He gets lighter as the season goes on. But that Real Cool Job ep he was so much darker.

I wonder too, I think the make-up had a part in it because now looking at him, at times there seems to be a slight orange tint to his color. That seems like he may have gotten way too much sun and they needed to try and tone it down...in doing so, it may have given him that orange tint that I see. Kinda like when a light-skinned person gets too much sun, they try to tone it down with foundation but they end up looking pink.

I noticed he was darker on those two eps as well. he must've been "sunning on a beach in Acapulco"-lol.
