I have two -

The first one is when Florida reads aloud to James the thesis that Eddie (Thelma's date) wrote entitled "Sexual Behavior in the Ghetto". James started puffing out his chest and preening when the thesis mentions the importance of a strong father in the home. John Amos' reactions were priceless.

The only one that might top that (in my book) is where Florida comes up with an idea to outsmart the supermarket manager who sold the family the rancid beef roast. The look on James' face when he caught Florida's drift was hilarious, and I loved how he and Flo were just roaring with laughter. :lol:

John Amos has always been famous and renowned in dramatic roles (Roots, The West Wing, etc.) and rightly so. However, I feel he is underrated as a comedic actor. His facial expressions and way of tossing zingers has always had me :rofl:.

My funniest James moment was when he and Florida went to the cabin for a weekend getaway, and a sexy young lady catches James' attention. The look on his face when he saw her bent over the fireplace was just priceless :lol:

Another moment was when Florida went out to lunch with her boss, and when she got home James was mad as hell. Her boss had given her tin whistle and James was jealous....his antics had me LMAO.

James: Didn't you hear your mother say it's time for Bed?

Michael: Aww come on daddy I want to watch the Wolfman

James: If you don;t go to bed you are going to be watching the BELTMAN!



LOL

James: Michael go to your room this is no conversation for kids

Michael: I WANT TO BE BUSED TO ANOTHER FAMILY!!

James: if you don;t get out of here I'm going to bus you with this belt


LOL

FLORIDA: Yes, James.

JAMES: (in a soft voice) I'm gonna break his damn finger.

FLORIDA: James!

JAMES: JUST the TRIGGER finger, Florida! I'm gonna break that finger so it's POINTIN' NORTH, SOUTH, EAST and WEST ALL at the SAME TIME!!!
LOL.

I wilol tell you the funniest moment from James to me..............:lol:

"Oh hell, Willie Washington owes ME 12 dollars!":lol: (after banker asks who could could cosign on a loan for James, and James says, "Wiloie Washington. Banker asks, "What's Willie Washington's financial standing?" James answers that funny line above.:lol: )
