I knew about the gap between Rolle and Amos but I didn't know that he was that close in age with Walker. Esther comes off like an aunt or grandmother with her persona.

Well, not ALL of us live on "Sitcoms Online" message board. This is obvious when you look at the number of posts listed next to each user.

some live here...some visit...some lurk...but as many times as this fact was mentioned abt the ages of the actors, surely you could have caught it sooner...i first heard of the ages of the actors when I had been here a month.
but you must also remember, I was only a visitor to the Good Times forum...i didn't visit the other forums for a long while.

well my dear, running my own businesses from home (hence my screenname) allow me some time in the morning and later in the evening to join the hoopla here. It's not my life to be on here. Others visit here from their jobs too. I have only been on for 30 minutes. But on days when there are huge debates, one can easily add up their "posts"...I have had many debates with Solomon...so it is Solomon I have to thank for getting me to the 10 thousand mark!!!!!! if it wasn't for his stubborn views, his on-going debates, his views on women, dating and so forth, I would have a ho-hum post number next to my screen name.

Solomon, thanx for the posts!!!!!!!!!

Again, 90% of the fans on this board knew the age difference. A better thread title would have been-"Did anyone know this? You acted like you were bringing something to everyone's attention. Or another Thread Suggestion would have been "I just found out that..........
