....as themselves on GT. Because, let's face it, what famous actor/actress/singer would set foot in that neighborhood, especially the apartment? :lol: The only way that would've happened is if they were at a concert or at a function or something. I thought about that other night and cracked up. Sanford and Son had Della Reese, Lena Horne, Jefferesons had Billy Dee Williams, Sammy Davis, Jr.

And Fred and Lamont lived in a similar neighborhood but just in a different city and they have guests stars-lol

good reasoning Nerrad. I mean, seriously, it would look ridiculous to have a celeb appear as themselves. The only way it would have worked and succeeded, would have been if a celeb was doing a charity or function of some sort in the projects.

Which seemed out of place some of the time. Unrealistic.

I know, why the hell would lena horne be in the ghetto?-lol

She also appeared on Cosby show, but we know how realistic that show was...:rofl:

Maybe Pam Grier got a flat on the way to the airport and had to use the Evans phone. lol

18 flights up???? :rofl:

Well Keith played football so they couldve had one of the real Chicago Bears like Walter Payton or Vince Evans could've came by to see how he was doing.

A celebrity couldv've came by the boutique or car wash were James was working.

The only other thing they could've done was to get a celebrity that was really from the Chicago projects to appear.

Was Walter Payton around then???????

Yup, he started with the Bears in 1974 or 1975

Yeah, but Keith wasn't signed to the Bears until after he fixed his knee, which was the final episode.

Imagine the finale with a Walter Payton appearance! Why not??? They rushed everything else, might as well throw in a celeb.:lol:

BUT Fred and Lamont lived in LA county (there is a difference); they only lived 20 minutes away from Hollywood..so they had better access than the Evans family, who lived a couple thousand miles away.
True, so very true. :lol:

Yeah but he was drafted by the Bears so he had to have met the Coaches and players even though he never signed a contract.

It wouldn't make sense for a celeb to appear on GT, the show was set in a ghetto. It's no realistic for a celeb to go to a ghetto.

I read where Elvis Presley was a huge fan of this show.

Now that would be a guest appearance worth remembering.

He could have been better for that role as that frumpy singer JJ tried to hit it big with.

That would be the only role I can see him in. Except a lot better looking.
