I'm a Good Times fanatic (bought the tape they were selling on TV). Anyway, my favorite one is where they find out that their friend has been eating dog food and she makes them the meat loaf (I always crack up on that one!) Here's some others that stick out in my mind:

That was THE funniest episode ever!!! I laughed soooo hard when they were fighting over who got the last seat at the table. And when the lady said something like "Well if no one wants to eat my meatloaf...I'll just leave" And JJ was like "BYE!!!" OH MY GOODNESS...that HAD to be the best episode I've seen!

I always like the episodes with Gary Coleman. Like the time he was supposed to be a sheep in the school play and he said, "I may be a sheep, but I ain't eating no grass mama!"

Remember the episode about Larry and the elevator shaft. He was the boy who was losing his hearing and Florida realized it before his mother. His momma played Myra (with the bad feet) on Martin. My favorite line was when she told Florida, "I don't need no bus driver to tell me how to raise my child."

What killed me about that show was that they were broke as hell and Florida would always say, "but that ain't honest James."

Okay ya'll I'm young, so I remember the reruns...

"Chow line" I always thought they said, "hanging in the ghetto"????

My favorite good times episode (even though I'm more of a "Sanford and Son" type of lady) is when JJ wants the job promotion and has the dream that he becomes white, and starts dressing different and acting different...

Another favorite episode of mine is when the two white cops go to their house becase their cousin stole some money and was wanted...the cops were so scared to be in the projects..I was LMAO...

Oh, and Good Times was supposed to be based in my home town...Chicago...last time I was home, they were still tearing down the "ghettos in the sky,"...

I'm really loving this topic!!

I'm young also, but I am a re-run freak! I remember the episode when James was trying to show his wife that God had no place in some topic they were discussing and he stood on a chair in the kitchen to count down the seconds until God would MAKE something happen and his watch stopped working. I thought that was a powerful episode. Oh yeah,
I heard that "JJ" couldn't read that well (in real life). What's up with that?

I love Good Times!
Remember the episode where Thelma was getting married to the football player and as the guy was coming down the aisle either JJ or Michael tripped him accidently and he broke his leg? (It ended his career.)

And what about when the old man came to their apartment and he kept insisting that he was going to die before midnight (or something like that)....anyway, midnight came and he was still alive so everyone started dancing around and celebrating. It wasn't until Thelma looked over at him for everyone to notice that he had died.

I'll be back when I think of some more

Remember the "Black Jesus" episode?

the Fly Girl episode? Where the handicapped girl and Micheal were CB buddies...

Sweet Daddy Williams and his girlfriend (I forgot her name, but she was ALSO, Myra from Martin and Larry's (deaf boy) mother....

JJ's friends the "Awesome 4-some" JJ, Papo, Coolbreeze, Head...
then, it became the something 3-some later on...

when JJ got shot because he got caught by James and Florida and James tried to get JJ to leave with them...

AKA2D'91, I almost forgot about Savannah Morgan, Sweet Daddy's girl. Remember that time when she was in a car accident with Keith's taxi and J. J. was the only witness and Sweets was pressuring him to lie?

Imperial11 · #27 05-04-2001, 05:53 PM

How about the time Sweet Daddy hired JJ to paint a portrait of his girl, Savannah Morgan and when Sweet Daddy saw it, he really liked it. But when Savannah saw it, she said "That don't look nothin' like me"! Then Sweet Daddy started acting like he didn't like it either and refused to pay JJ.

Or.....
When Shirley from What's Happening and her sister held up the Evans family + Wilona. They made Florida go cash some kind of check.Back at the crib, Shirley's sister went through Wilona's purse and sprayed on some of her perfume. When Wilona tried to tell the girl that she was going to jail, the girl just said, "At least I'll smell rich". What an IDIDOT!!!

Or....
When Florida's fine nephew (Pookie) came to town, showering everyone with gifts. Then come to find out he was a gambling addict. What was his real name? He was alllllll that!

Or.....
Remember that architect dude that Wilona was engaged to? He was fine too.

I saw a picture of Thelma's ex-husband in Ebony one month, and he looks really good too. They have a pretty daughter.

So much for the trip down memory lane.

I am watching it now....it is "chow line"...

Ya learn something new everyday!

What was that singing telegram "Pookie" sent right before he came to the apartment?

Remember when Wilona's ex (Ray) came on to Thelma?

Sexy Mocha · #29 05-04-2001, 06:44 PM

Hey y'all, remember when their cousin Naomi came to visit for Thanksgiving and she turned out to be serious alcoholic? (I think she was shooting dope as well)

What about the time Florida bought the roast beef from the market and the whole family got sick? The manager of the store knew the meat was bad and James ended up blackmailing him into eating the beef.

Remember when Thelma was dating the African exchange student and was about to marry him until she realized she wasn't going to be his only wife?

That's one of the ones on my tape!!! Every one was sick, except JJ!

Remember the one where Thelma wanted to get married to this dude that was studying to be a mechanic? And JJ stood up to his pops for the first time to side with Thelma? She sure did want to get married quite a bit.
