George wanted to bring a gun in the house to protect his family and Louise saying No and then George sneaks and buys it anyways and jessica gets a hold of it and pulls the trigger making George realize that it's dangerous to have a Gun in the House. We all know where the idea to do this episode came from

Good times-"The Family Gun"-Season 3

LOL


Recycled Scripts-lol

i agree 100%

and in both cases a child almost shot themselves.

What shows if any, BEFORE Good Times, had a gun episode? Was Good Times the first?

What shows since Good Times and the Jeffersons have recycled this idea?

"Family Ties" had an episode where Steven was considering getting a gun. (I'm thinking the same thing too, guys - "HUH?!")

I think you are wrong.

I just seen for the millionth time, the episode of Everybody Loves Raymond where Robert acts "ethnic" :rofl:...it made me think of Brother Tom...any other show have the same storyline or do The Jeffersons and Everybody Loves Raymond have the distinction of using this storyline?


BTW SOLOMON: Why only HALF your rent?????

Oh, BEFORE! Sorry. My brain is slow, and it just came to me. :crazy:

Yep in 1971, Demond Wilson was in that episode as one of the Burglars.

Brian...looks like you have some money coming your way :lol:

He lost 1/2 his rent and now doesn't have any money to buy brownies. I was going to send him brownies if I was wrong abt something. I was right and now he doesn't have those brownies either. :lol:

don't forget Gunsmoke, I know a Chester episode has an episode about a farmer who wants to bring a gun in but his wife won't let him. That was early 60's.

I think Solomon is only referring to sitcoms.

Nope I said it hadn't happened since Good Times when the Jeffersons did that ep in 82. That All in the family ep is from 71, GT ep is from 75

PAY ME!!!

I hate to say it but I think Solomon is right I can't think of a show that had anything to do with a gun after the GT's episode and Before The Jeffersons episode.

If you count Family Ties when Mike buys a gun against the family wishes and that was in 1982. Also in 1970 something there was an episode of Happy Days where Fonzi was shot in the butt and they were trying to figure out who shot him.

That Happy Days episode was in one of the last seasons...it featured Chachi, Potsie and Roger, by then Richie and Ralph were long gone.

What year was that?? Wasn't that still in the 70's?

I am trying to remember, I think by then it was early 80's.

Ok, found it. It was 1981
