Is it me or does anyone else think it was weird when they had that younger kid in the gang? I mean they had two teenagers and then this little kid threatening JJ? I just thought it was weird that it wasn't all teenagers. I understand younger kids are in gangs, but it just looked weird. And then the kid calls Michael "dwarf" or something like that, and he's just as tall as him!

He wasn't a kid, he was just a small guy for his age-lol If you look at him closely you will see that he is a grown ass man-lol

yeah, that's what makes the scene when he and Michael are standing in front of each other funny. They were the same height-lol

Well, he did play someone Michael's age in another episode.

That's true.

This episode is one of my all time favorite Good Times episodes

Yeah, he is the same kid, I think his name is "Eddie" that takes Michael's lunch money in another episode. He doesn't look like a grown man though!

His name is Douglas Grant, but they didn't have his age

He was on the Electric Company so he might be a lot younger than I was thinking. He was also on an episode of What's Happening

James "Mad dog if you don't get your finger out of my wife's face, I'm gonna slap a muzzle on you"

James "Just the trigger finger, i'm gonna break it so its pointing north, south east and west all at the same time."

yes they did speak spanish. the opening of the show had a miniature ferris wheel and some other "fiesta" type thing in the opening credits.

This wasn't on PBS, but who remembers a show called "Vegetable Soup". "Outer Scope 2".

How about the spoon who gave out recipes. And rhymed.

Don't get me started on thos old kid shows. How about "The Great Space Coaster"? Fran, Dan, and Roy.
