[Rain Man]

OK, folx - the 2nd season DVD is available and I am renting it to get reacquainted w/the Evans family.

Guess what, as I type, LAUNCH.com (Internet radio) is playing the Four Tops song Bernadette - and the lovely BernNadette Stanis (Thelma Evans) is coming to mind as I listen. OMG, she was HOT back in the day. Then again, she's 50 years old and still looking good and young. But I digress.

This DVD features 24(?) eps from the 2nd season. A listing of the eps will be forthcoming. My favorite ep is on there. It is the one where JJ was invited to escort a girl (Clarissa) for the debutante ball but her parents don't approve of his ghetto family environment. The feud b/t James and Clarissa's parents was HEE-LARIOUS! Notable lines:

JJ (to Clarissa's parents): Can I get you a glass of Kool-Aid?
James: Junior, you don't serve Kool-Aid to Mr. and Mrs. Oreo.

Clarissa Father (looking around the Evans' apartment): Let's hurry up and get out of here.
James: Yeah, haven't you heard, there's ni**as in here.

Anyway, I was up till 1 in the morning watching those DVDs and I still am not done yet.

ETA: two of Good Times episode scriptwriters were the now co-kings of late night, Jay Leno and David Letterman.
