I like her with james but when he left the producers had to find someone else-so I guess Carl was te next best thing. Also why did Willona call Michael "GRAMPS"

Of the three Evans children Micheal was by far the most mature. It was because he acted so much older than his age that Willona called him "gramps".

James

I didn't hate Carl, but I just can't see Florida with anyone else, but James

James.

well, it's James. i've never understood why the producers (i think Norman Lear had handed the day-to-day production duties over to his staff like he always did once his shows became hits; the only one he stayed with from start to finish was All In The Family) felt that Florida HAD to be married after James' death. i don't remember Carl ever being much of a force with the family. maybe i didn't see much of those episodes to get Carl's importance OTHER than him being her second husband. that's why i vote for James...even though at times he could be a bit too serious when everyone else in the family were laughing at something or making jokes.

well reality is-if a woman is a widow in real life-she eventually remarries or may have another love interest so that's why carl was on the show.

The thing is, the producers realized that they made a mistake in letting John Amos go. They couldn't bring him back because they already killed him off. So the producers tried to find the next best thing to replace him and failed. IMO

I don't think they were trying to replace Amos-they were just trying to put a stronger male character on the show. J.J. was older-but still goofy.

James all the way. Moses Gunn was a great actor and I loved his portrayal of Joe Kagan on Little House and he was a good actor on Good Times but he was not needed.

James.
