Wow, now you are going to make me reanalyze seasons 1 to 6 of Good Times like I been doing with the Jeffersons-lol

Both shows also used the line, "Well ain't that a blip!"

Willona and Florence used the same line respectively.

Off the top of my head I can remember Willona using that line when she found out Walter was deaf but I can't remember when Florence used it

Florence DID use it, I am 100% sure she did, I just can't think of the episode, I think it's from the 70s episodes.

I remember she did use it, I just don't know the episde

I know when Willona said it she used that phrase in a "shock" style way. Of course because she was shocked that Walter was deaf.

As for Florence, I can think of her saying it more as sarcastic, but I too can't remember when she said it. Was it in the Hawaiian episodes when she thought that guy was going to propose marriage to her but he didn't?

Didn't J.J. use "old coyote face" a couple of times too?

I don't remember JJ ever using "old coyote face".

Michael asked James and Keith this when they were going on a job interview.

"Do they know you're black?"
James and Keith - "No, but as soon as I get there I'll tell them.":lol:

Now come on , man. This is craftman you talking to. You must have gotten an edited version from TV One. It's right at the beginning of "JJ The Teacher."

There's no difference, you argued me down saying that TV One wasn't cut. I told you that they were starting to cut the episodes.

I do have to purchase it now because I now know there are scenes on the DVD I never seen before. So as a GT fan I have to get the DVD, it din't have to be tomorrow but I have to eventually get it. So far I only have to get season 3 and 6 on DVD


craftman did say anything about season 4 and 5

Who said it in the Physical?


Willona. Actually in "The Physical" she said, "The streets are so empty out there, the muggers are mugging each other."

Close enough, same difference.:)

What do you do craftman, do you write down the jokes and then watch an episode and try and see if it is repeated? Or do you know the jokes so well that when you hear it you can remember which episodes they were said?

BTW, I know JJ called Thelma coyote face during some argument. :lol: I am sure Brieannas can vouch for that.

Pretty much both. Over the years I remember hearing some jokes in more than one episode. The last couple of weeks I've been watching them in order and when I recognize a joke that I remember was repeated, I'd write it down and wait 'til I get to the other episode it was in.

I'll have to watch for that "coyote face", I just can't remember hearing that one.

I too have heard what sounded like repeated jokes, I always thought maybe it sounded the same but maybe they just twisted the words around or changed it a bit.

yeah, I can almost swear it was when J.J. and Thelma were going at it and J.J. said, "You old coyote face..." but when he said it Thelma was saying her thing and it was kinda muffled out. I wish I could remember what episode it was.

Willona. Actually in "The Physical" she said, "The streets are so empty out there, the muggers are mugging each other."

I can't give you that one craftman

Aw come on man. :lol:

The mere fact they used another "mugging" joke is good enough for me. How many times did we have to hear abt those damn muggers when the family NEVER LOCKED THEIR DAMN DOORS? :lol:

James said it in "The Break-up". I liked it when JJ said it. His delivery made it extra funny.

Well, if you know Good Times like we know Good Times, you at least know those lines were said. As soon as I read it, I knew he was right. I never caught the repeated jokes (I still say JJ said "ol coyote face" at least twice) until craftman posted them here and I know he has been reviewing the episodes checking for them.

But I asked him who said what in a season 3 ep and never got any response so it's a little hard to take seriously

I did answer your questions, check the posts. But I'll try to write the next ones in a different way, OK.

'The Mural': JJ - " I'm gonna buy dad four Cadillacs..... one for each direction.

'Willona's Mr. Right': Frank Mason - " I could buy me four Cadillacs.....one for each direction.

Also in 'Too Old Blues', Florida alters it and says, "My husband has four yachts.....one for each direction.

OMG that is some sloppy joke writing on the writers part. How terrible was it to have to recycle so many jokes on a sitcom? :ohno:

I can't recall Frank Mason's comment, he must have said it so fast that I wasn't paying attention to it or the way he said it, it wasn't memorable to me. :lol:

Thank you "C" for these. ;)

What happens in the beginning of the ep-"The Mural" on the season 3 DVD? I know on TV ONE Florida and Willona are already in a conversation when the ep starts

It's the same way on the DVD. Florida and Willona are already in a convo when the ep starts. It does seem like something was cut in the beginning.

'Florida Gets a Job': Florida - " You know me, when it comes to DOING NOTHING, I SAY NOTHING DOING".

:rofl: That is so funny reading those lines.

Cale, tell me, now this came to my mind the other day. When you are watching an episode, you say you write down the joke you hear, but there are several jokes said in one episode, do you write down ALL THE JOKES that are said in each episode and then try and see when it is repeated?

'Love In The Ghetto': JJ - "Dad, I know you could break me in half".
James - "Uh uh Junior, and have two of you running around"?

'JJ The Teacher': Keith - "JJ, I would break you in half, but I don't want two of you around".

Hey Irene, No No, I don't write all the jokes down. From years of watching the show I think I remember EVERY joke that was said and sometimes which episode it was in. When I hear a certain joke I remember them using it before another ep.

That's why I have my doubts about JJ saying "old coyote face". I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying I don't remember him ever saying that not even once. But I know you have a good memory too, it might have been cut out of my DVD's, but I haven't come across it yet.

P.S. What are you doing using my real name? shhh;)
