Time's Magazine Criticism of the J.J character in 1978
From the Article-"Blacks on TV" A Disturbing Image
Writer, Lance Murrow description of J.J. below "A bug-eyed young comic of the ghetto with spasms of supercool blowing through his nervous system, a kind of ElectraGlide strut.. J.J was cut from the same pattern as George "KingFish" Stevens decades earlier. His stock phrase, "Dynomite" was reminiscent of the Kingfish's "Holy Mack" heard so often on Amos and Andy. J.J also displayed his large white eyeballs and tooth-filled Cheshire cat grin. A womanizer, unintelligent, and always wise-cracking or mugging for a laugh. March 27, 1978, Time Magazine WOW,-LOL |

 That sounds awful. I mean, so be it, J.J. is not the best looking man on the planet, but he made him out like he is some creature.
