In the ep-"Politicians" Willona had the WORST line-lol What the hell was she talkin bout? I guess Michael was too young to play. Did anyone ever play the dozens? I didn't learn how to play the dozens until I was 20, when a guy from Boston taught me. Before that, I always STUNK at playing the Dozens

That is one of my favorite episodes. No I don't know how to play the dozens because like Willona I was alway bad at it, but I laughed at lot at those who did play.

Yeah George was defintely the King of Dozens. James did good though with his line-"Your eyes may shine, and your teeth may grit, that politician job you ain;t going to get"-LOL

The rest of the Family was Corny, especially Florida

what exactly was the line she said? it was dumb, and i can't figure it out...you would think with the writers having time to do the scripts they could have come out with something better. It's not like the actors came off the wall with those dozens.

This was Florida's Line

"You stand there and say you are a man of the People, but I say you will steal everything including the Church's Steeple"

craftman · 08-21-2005, 10:57 PM

I thought JJ's line was one of the best.........."Don't worry Fred I'll get all my chicks to vote for you, cause they don't picket and they don't fight, one taste of these lips and they'll follow the lead of kid, (clap)
DY-NO-MIIIITE!!!!!!!!!!

No wonder why Bill Cosby hated GT, he HATED the dozens. He said that once on a retrospective show on the Cosby Show I believe.

Why did he hate the dozens? Because of the corny lines on GT? Or the fact that the dozens were created back in slavery days and BILL COSBY DOESN'T WANT TO REMEMBER THAT PART OF HIS HERITAGE?

Brian Damage · 08-22-2005, 01:35 AM

Probably the latter.
