"A Friend in Need". Esther Rolle is not in this episode and J.J is trying to stop some guy from killing hisself. Horrible episode.

I remember that episode although it's been years since I've seen it. I know the guy who attempted suicide is the same guy who competed with Rerun in the disco contest episode in season 3 of What's Happening. I don't remember it being a horrible episode. And you know now that you pointed it out everyone who gets the season 4 dvd is going to make a point to watch that episode.

That episode wasn't bad, though it definetly wasn't a goodie. I couldn't stand, "The Judy Cohen Story."

Thank you. That's Analyzer's favorite episode. He likes to sing along to "Send In The Clowns" with Judy.

What made them even make that episode? That took away from everything. I understand you have to sometimes expand from the main setting, but I never been a fan of episodes where the main cast have to do something on stage. Seems like every sitcom is like that.

Now I'll make it a point to watch that episode.

I don't think I've ever seen it.

I have seen The Judy Cohen Story...

I saw it probably over a year ago on my UPN station (UPN Atlanta) and I didn't think it was horrible, though I didn't think it was anything great either...

Wasn't she a clown in it?

No, she just looked like a clown.

Back to Analyzer's original topic, "A Friend In Need" wasn't a bad episode. I'm looking forward to seeing it since I haven't seen it in a long time. Other season 4 episodes I'm looking forward to: The Big Move part 2 for the "damn damn damn" scene, Michael the Warlord, J.J.'s New Career 1 & 2, Rich is Better Than Poor . . . Maybe, and a few others that I might not remember just because it's been a while. I'm actually looking forward to alot of them because the later episodes haven't stayed in my memory like episodes from the first three seasons. And of course, I'm looking forward to Michael's Great Romance which has my all time favorite Florida quote.

Are you talking about this quote?

"Unless a man is sure of himself, he ain't got nothing more going for him than a plate of COLD GRITS"-LOL

I am looking forward to every episode from the 4th season DVD, regardless if they are considered bad or not...How many days to the 15th of February?
