Not sure what ep this was in 1974 but it was the TAG SCENE when Michael said he wish he could find a black TV show and then james said

"where you going to find one?


Wasn't Sanford and Son on the air for 2 years at this point of the Good Times Series?-lol


Not sure why that statement was in the script

Remember the episode in the first season when Florida was doing a commercial for Vitabrite (the family was telling Florida that everything on the commercials are acting and Micheal and Thelma stated: Do you think Redd Fox make a living from a junk yard and Micheal stated, he just plays the part of a junk man ----something like that, so that shows, they were watching black tv in that year-I guess.:happyface

But by that time the error had already been made so it was no point in even mentioning it in the script for that episode

Well that means James should have said-"Now you know that you can only see one on Friday Nights"

That would have been too much dialogue for a tag scene.

Well James already said-"where you going to find one? So they could have added to the statement and have him say

"where you going to find one since it's not Friday Night?
