In season 3, Larry gets a job offer to be a partner in a garage in California.

In season 4, James gets a job offer to be a partner in a garage in Mississippi.

Oh there are a few recycled writing episodes on GT. I posted this before.

Thelma's Engagements..4 times..Larry, Donald, Ibe, and Keith

Getting a Loan from the bank....James and Florida went to get a loan to start his home business and Florida and the kids with Keith going to get a loan for a house. Although the loans were for two different reasons still its the same basically about getting a loan.

JJ being involved with women his family didnt approve of...first was Jessica the older woman played by Rosalind Cash and then Barbara the one who held on to her husband and JJ too. Same plot...JJ dating a woman his family didnt approve of...

James gets a job offer in Alaska and then a job offer in Mississippi...

had James taken that damn job in Alaska, there would have been no need for the job in Mississippi...damn damn damn!!!!!

Not only is the writing recycled, but the damn actors too. Seeing Thelma engaged to the man who would later play her uncle is sick sick sick!!!!!

Yeah that is sick...but back in the day on all these old tv shows they used the actors more than once to play different characters. I forgot that Chip Fields played another character on GT besides Penny's Mom.

Yup she played J.J's Date. I don't know if she had a name in that episode so we could say that is the same character we see in season 5. We just didn't see Penny-lol
