Was the 1976-1977 season the last time the phrase DYNO-MITE came out of J.J's mouth? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I can't remember exactly when the phrase dyno-mite was said for the last time. I don't think it was said after the 1976-77 season but i could be wrong. I know this is a hard question but does someone know the episode when j.j said dyno-mite for the last time?

I don't really know when the last time Dynomite was mentioned by J.J. on Good Times because I do believe it was mentioned by Michael in the episode C.B. Casanova where the girl Michael is talking to is in a wheelchair. So I think it was also used by J.J. as well in that episode because J.J. was going on a date and he said "Dynomite" and Michael was imitating J.J. when he was talking to that girl on the C.B. in the wheelchair. That may have been the last time it was mentioned,because afterwards the episodes turned serious and the phrase was gone afterwards.

That episode,"C.B. Casanova" aired during the 1977-1978 season because Florida wasn't in this episode. Willona and Penny was in that episode as well.

I think from 77-79 the phrase dyno-mite was used very little. which is probably why i don't remember it after 76-77 season. But he shouldn't have said dyno-mite at all by 78.

Because it was time for his character to mature and be a man instead of acting like a GOOFBALL.

Let's see, how many sitcoms featured the man of the house as a goofball...The Honeymooners, Life Of Riley, The Munsters, The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis, The Jeffersons....

Why did Jimmie Walker have this great responsibility of proving something instead of just making people laugh like the other sitcom stars?

I disagree. Maybe not goofy in the same way as J.J., but George was arrogant, opinionated, and often short sighted.

But, let's say that your statement is correct. What about all of the other sitcoms I named with goofy men of the house? Were you horrified by the stupidity of Ralph Kramden and Ed Norton too?

Are you a Jeffersons Fan, if so read some of my post on that board. Bill Cosby was a goofy father, and currently Damon wayans of my wife and kids. George and James was similar because it was their bad moods that made people laugh.

You still didn't answer my question. Since you don't like to see the men of the house portrayed as goofballs, were you upset with sitcoms like The Honeymooners and Life Of Riley?

Ralph Kramden wasn't Goofy, norton was.

Nah, Ralph wasn't goofy just because he went along with Norton's idea to stack dresser drawers on top of a dresser to make it lighter to carry. But okay, have it your way. Since you are offended by men of the house being portrayed as goofballs, did the character of Ed Norton offend you the same as the character of J.J. does?
