Default Missing Evans characters in Certain episodes

Season 1

My Son the Lover.......Michael


Season 2

The Enlistment...Florida


Season 3

The Baby............James

Michael's Big Fall.......James

A Place to Die......James

JJ in Trouble.......James and Florida

Been wanting to know the reason why for years and so far was only able to find out John Amos was missing in The Baby and Michael's Big Fall because he was at a Jet American Airlines Tennis Tournament in San Diego from 1975 Jet Magazine.

Did they even mention Michael in My Son The Lover? It’s sort of interesting that Jimmie Walker wasn’t in the very last episode of Good Times with James. And you forgot that neither Florida or James appeared in the Season 3 episode J.J. In Trouble.

Maybe James gave Michael The Big Mac that time and Michael landed in a coma lol

OR

Michael got “sent in his room” like he always does when the family has to TCB and pulled a FM Judy on the family that episode

J.J. was pretty much the only standout character that whole Season 5 James was gone Florida married Carl and relocated to Arizona although I don’t consider her a standout character and Wilona…let’s just say was “matured” for Penny lol

The show would have been so good without penny in that 5th season

I get what ya saying, but I don’t get what ya saying. Although Penny was a unnecessary addition, even without Penny, Season 5 of Good Times still wouldn’t have been too good without Esther Rolle. She was the only one who carried the show after John Amos got fired and left. By the time she came back in Season 6, it was a little too late to save the show. The damage was already done. The only way Season 5 would’ve been good without Penny and without Florida was if J.J.’s friends and Mrs. Bookman appeared more.

Most of Thelma’s boyfriends were either random guys or jerks. Larry was okay but I HATED the addition of Keith. Damn, he was annoying with all his imitations and impersonations. He wasn’t bad at them but he them ALL THE TIME. Thelma should’ve finished or went to college instead of wasting her time and life with Keith. She probably only dated him for about a week and got engaged and later married to him lol Thelma did not need a boyfriend. Don’t give Michael a girlfriend either. I agree with you when you say they needed to give J.J. a girlfriend though. And someone attractive for a change lol the only attractive woman and girls dated was Diana, Clarissa, Henrietta, Debbi Morgan, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Jo Ann I guess. I also disagree when you say eliminate Wilona. Next to J.J., she was the only comedic relief for the show at the time. They could’ve kept her like she was from Seasons 1-4 and have her check on the gang and stuff. Feature J.J.’s friends more, give J.J. a girlfriend, and feature Mrs. Bookman more.
