I saw it too. I am sorry, but I could never understand what in the heck "Judith Cohen" had to do with Good Times. It is the bizarro episode of the entire series. It is really painfully embarrassing to watch Florida, Wilona, Thelma & friends cheering and whooping it up for what is a mediocre at best performance of her "Send In The Clowns" floor show schtick.

It is like you feel whomever directed this episode is standing off screen wildly gesturing everybody to clap and congratulate Judith on her stellar performance. Look closely at the other cast members, especially Florida, cuz they look like they are really working hard to show how "thrilled" they are at this awful spectacle!

On the other hand this episode is so weird, and out of place, that it actually has some kind of strange entertainment value for me now..... like I just ran over to the TV from the other room to gawk, and laugh out loud when I knew it was the "Judy Cohen" episode, good lord I could hear that shrieking rendition of "Send In The Clowns" from the other side of the house, she really belonged on an episode of "The Love Boat" at best.

It's similar to the "Aunt Jenny" episode of the Brady Bunch, a totally unrelated bizarre character, shamelessly promoting themselves. No doubt they knew someone on the production or writing staff.

I think Judy was better than michael and those backup singers in the beginning of the episode

^ I thought Michael's singing was really bad and off key.

Imogene Coca? Acting debut? More like a television veteran.

Was Judith being tested for some spin-off perhaps?

Retro Vic · 03-16-2012, 01:04 PM

I will not argue about Imogene Coca, yes, you are right she was a veteran, and I actually liked her in National Lampoon's Vacation as the crazy grandma character, but, in the BB that character is so completely out of place, and bizarre. I realize that she did another TV series with Sherwood Schwartz before the BB. Probably why they used her in the BB. They probably could have done a really good character for her, but, Aunt Jenny travels all over the world & shows up with a police escort & a limo, & is just bizarre & weird. Now Judith Cohen on Good Times, I don't know what the heck that was all about! Any ideas? It is sooooo strange!

Retro Vic · 03-16-2012, 01:17 PM

I mean it's like they bring Krusty The Clown in drag into the series & just dump her right into the middle of Florida's living room in the projects, & then they have Krusty sing & bounce around on stage....just tooo toooo much.
