Default Worst Episodes After John Amos Left

What were the worst episodes from "Good Times" after John Amos left? imo the worse out of the entire series was

"Florida's Favorite Passenger"

as much as I love the topic they used for the episode it is too dramatic and over exaggerated imo

and the horrible green screen effect when the little boy almost fell into the elevator shaft in Part 2

The Favorite Passenger is defintely in the top 5 for the worst after James left. You know I can't think of another one so I will agree with and chose My Favorite Passenger because I always skip that episode.

The Judith Cohen Story.

I can't get into the episode where James' father returns with his girlfriend. I like the first few minutes when James is mentioned, but after that, I just can't.

How about the one where JJ dreams that he is white? That's one of my picks for the worst episode of the entire series!!!

I actually kind of like the "Favorite Passenger" episodes, although them just standing their watching before he tries to go in the elevator shaft is kind of stupid! But "The Border" episode is the worst episode after James left to me! Just stupid and very out of place, I mean who in the hell cares about some crusty old "Mr. Dunbar".

OK, thanks. I know I've watched all the episodes (I checked out all 6 seasons out of the library several years ago), but I don't remember some of them. I guess I didn't find this particular one very memorable.
