Out of the four you listed from season 3, A Loss of Confidence was the best. I agree with you about Florida the Woman, Seeing her on a Date with her Boss was kind of Dumb

THELMA'S SCHOLARSHIP (75)

Why was the 3rd season the least favorite with Amos?

It seemed like the episodes lost A LOT of energy after season 2. Plus it didn't seem like they were using the James character very much except to just "react" to the things that were going on. I remember reading that John Amos felt he wasn't being used on the show enough that last season except as a stage prop for JJ.

I can believe it, It's also a shame that Jimmie Walker couldn't see that the producers were trying to capitalize on the fact that he was alredy FUNNY/StRANGE LOOKING-lol

Why would he care? He was laughing all the way to the bank!

the one I did not care for too much was when Michael wrote that letter to cuba asking for a pamphlet. It was so so.

Besides James staring at Joanne like he was in shock, what else did he do that was entertaining to you.
