Default The Biggest Mystery of Good Times

Why Gurdy Vincent would give the Evans real food if she was living off a small income and keep pet food for herself-lol

THat's why I would have never eaten the meatloaf if I was the Evans.

She must've used all of her money to buy the real meat for dinner. I thought she said she ate the pet food sometimes, but not always, to save money.

That was the grossest looking meatloaf too. She must've had no electricity to cook it because that thing was PINK!!

Someone at the Table should have asked Gurdy-"why would you prepare this wonderful meal for us and not keep it for yourself since you are having money prpblems"?

Now that WAS a very weird episode. Mainly because of the reasons you said. Why would she give the Evanses real meat instead of keeping it for herself?

Willona must've been wearing a wig that episode. Notice how she was grabbing her when Michael was pulling her to sit down. I don't think that was part of the script.

That was a hilarious episode. I just think that Gurdy had alot of pride. She would rather spend her money on others than herself. She was "oldschool."

I wonder was Senior Citizens eating pet food a Big Story in the U.S. in the mid 70's because I do remember the Executive Producer saying they got all their topic ideas from Current Events
