In 1976, Jimmy Walker was the Co-host on the Mike Douglas Show and said that he was tired of the J.J character dressing like a child with the turtle neck, and hat. He said it was time for him to start dressing like an adult which is why you no longer saw the turtleneck after season 3. This was surprising to me because I never knew Jimmy had any problem with the J.J character, i always thought it was just Esther and John

I loved watching Mike Douglas show. I do recall JJ being on there. I don't remember the conversation though. It sounds like because Jimmie was older than he was playing, and since the character was outta high school, it makes sense that he would put his foot down and ask that the character grow up some.
