The blood type that Sweet Daddy needed was U-negative. This is a real blood type only found in African American people, and is very rare. I wonder if the writers knew this was a real blood type or if they just made it up for a joke and didn't know it was real?

In the episode...

Sweets: I need U-negative

JJ: You positive?

Sweets: No, U-negative

JJ: Are You positve?

Sweets: I'm positive, U-negative

JJ: Who's on first?

Interesting.

I thought it was O negative.

Anyways, how did you find out this information?

I am sure with all the researching the writers did to come up with those statistics they threw in left and right, they must have found that information along the way. :lol: There is that episode abt James' supposed hypertension, so I guess they had their sources for medical information.

Thank you for that.

I never even knew that was a real blood type - thanks for that info!!

Amazing what one can learn from a TV sitcom! :)

I guess Good Times meant business when they were doling out all those statistics, medical advice and so forth. :lol:

What can you say, it was men who produced that show. ;) Men are good at preaching. :lol:

The statistics are what I always found soooooo unrealistic abt this show. We are all educated people here, but I don't go around spewing statistics! :crazy: I don't know anyone who does.

Loved the way the movie "don't be a menace ...." with Shawn and Marlon Wayans lampooned that. Basically, anytime someone got to spewing off statistics or ideaologies in not realistic manners Keenan (as a different character) would come through after it was said and the "special music" stopped to say: "MESSAGE"! :) . Good stuff.
