Yeah, James mentioned the Supremes when they did "Stop In The Name of Love" during Rent Party, didn't he? Maybe not Diana specifically.

I don't remember the episode, but OJ was definitely mentioned. Not sure about Rosey.

Solomon also brought up Stevie Wonder, and I can swear he was mentioned, but I don't know what episode. I'm on a mission to find a Stevie Wonder reference on Good Times.

For some reason I believe that too. It's probably on the cutting room floor of TVland...damn editing!!!:mad:

it's because he was referenced on What's Happening, maybe that's why i think it was Good Times.
