James was a strong black father figure that seemed like a first for tv. Even though James Evans and Cliff Huxtable were different, Good Times was the 1st sitcom to show that a strong father figure in a black family could work on tv. Agree? Disagree?

I couldn't agree more. In fact, I sometimes feel that Good Times could actually have well been the success that The Cosby Show was if the producers hadn't gotten so greedy and instead actually listened to John Amos and Esther Rolle's advice over J.J.'s character. Anyone agree?

Only if the Evans would have moved out the projects.

I'll agree with that statement.
