Jimmie Walker Reveals in A 1976 Interview, He Wanted Off 'Good Times' After Season 1!
http://news.google.com/newspapers?id...e+walker&hl=en
He called tv work a "tedious chore" and was looking for ways to get out of his 7 year talent contract with CBS. Interesting stuff indeed. |

Wow! Jimmie Walker wanted out. John Amos wanted out. (and got his wish) And later Esther Rolle wanted out too. Was there anyone who actually wanted to be on this show?

with an attitude like that, it's probably not surprising his career didn't take off after good times ended and in landing roles on other shows, sitcoms.
dissapointing coming from him. |
