To me, Thelma had proven she could take care of herself! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

After Keith slaps Thelma, she runs to her room and begins packing Keith's things. She said, "I'm not going anywhere. YOU are." and said, 'I am not a punching bag and put Keith in his place by having a long serious talk with him and said, I don't care if you are driving people to the game or are playing in it. You are still my husband, and I want everything from you. Then she said, 'It's either me, or the bottle." He chooses her, and then she slaps him back so that they are even. See, it proved to me that she had grown up and didn't need her brothers protecting her anymore.(Notice how neither JJ or Michal have to beat the hell out of Keith and Thelma took care of him by herself).

Bar none - Bernadette Stanis' shining moment on GT.

Man, I ate that up! That was stellar.

One of my top five moments on Good Times. Most definitely in my top 3. And one of thee most memorable tv moments for me.

To me, that was one of the best episodes to come out of Season 6. Both Bernadette Stanis and Ben Powers were superb in the final scene.

Ireneparalegal · 07-25-2008, 09:18 PM

Superb indeed! One slap heard around the world.

I am glad Thelma did that to Keith, since JJ and Michael didn't have the balls to do it.

Jude The Obscure · 07-27-2008, 07:58 PM

All we got out of Michael was a hard glaring stare!

And another thing--notice how fast Keith sobers up! One minute, he's slurring his words, the next he is talking straight with sense
