It was STUPID! Because that's what acting is. Actors are paid liars.

This episode was a total rip-off of I Love Lucy's Vitametavegamin episode. I'm surprise the writers of ILL didn't sue!

If I was a member of the Evans family, I would NOT have passed up an opportunity to make $24,000. I mean, come on!

It was nothing like I Love Lucy's Vitametavegamin episode. In I Love Lucy, Lucy actually DID the commercial with no hesitation. She didn't even care that the product was making her drunk. She was having fun and she was happy in that episode.

In the Good Times episode, Florida was a total stick in the mud. She was a feeble mess when she was rehearsing the commercial at home and then she REFUSED to do the commercial because she thought she would be lying.

The only similarity in the two episodes was that each product contained alcohol.
