James Evans was strong man, he worked, laughed, prayed, protector, provided, discipline, and structure for his family. That is missing today in a lot of homes. Thanks James for showing the world we love our families.

James Evans was my TV Dad. I really admired and respected him

If we didn’t have your show so much history of black entertainers would be lost. Thank you for all you post here.

We can say what we want to say, but Bill Cosby shaped a lot of respect for how black TV shows got representation, he demanded more black writers, producers, and directors. We can say what ever we can say about Bill Cosby, but he shaped the TV shows for us.

You can tell Johnny Brown didn't like the name Buffalo butt because every time someone would call him that he would roll his eyes and look away.

All jokes aside words have power... I know after awhile with him being heavy set(Johnny Brown) and being called Buffalo butt was not only done too much on the show.... Deep down I'm sure it didn't make him feel good.. What a strong man he was to tuck his feelings to the side and just push on so he could take care of his family... People act like words don't hurt.. They do. I remember Janet saying they were taping her chest down at that time because she was filling out... She said it made her aware of her weight and didn't make her feel good about herself...

And that was the downfall of the show. Jj was talented but his character became annoying and boring.

That's exactly why they killed off James' character due to loving the buffoonish way JJ acted and I have to admit, I didn't like his character being that foolish.

@@sufundasamuels2313 To be fair!! JJ became a more serious & responsible character when they killed off James Evans. He worked hard & supported the family.

Keep up the amazing work my brother 🤟🏿🙏🏿🤟🏿🙏🏿💯💯💯❤️❤️💯

It wasn't Gregory Hines Sr's group he was in. It was Maurice Hines Sr's group. Gregory and his older brother Maurice Hines Jr. joined their father's trio in the late 60's, that included Johnny Brown. Maurice Hines has a good doc on Starz. You should check that out. Maurice Hines or Gregory Hines would be good subjects for you to research.

I love episode of “What’s Happening” where Theodore Wilson played music bootlegger. He enlisted Rerun to record Doobie Brothers live show.😂 too funny.. Mr.Wilson, was excellent actor.. RIP to all of Good Times cast members no longer with us!

I love that show. I have the DVD collection of both seasons. The most memorable part of an episode is when Clifton Davis was sorting his album collection by gender and when he came upon Little Richard, he couldn't decide whether to place him in the male or female pile. 😂😂

Love these stories so much

Eric Monte is the true genius behind all.

Y'all may rest in peace

Thanks for the upload!!! U always come thru when I need you!! Best channel on YT!!! Heeeyyyy CU FAMILY!! Peace and blessings everyone!!!

Johnny brown was truly blessed to lived so long Helen Martin is too.These three were amazing.

Once again thank you for the enlightenment on these 70’s shows. Keep the content going. Eric Monte and Mike Evans were pioneers for our people! 💪🏾✊🏾

I have Good Times The Complete Series on DVD #Essential

This is going to be good 👍

Great job once again! Thank you! Since you mentioned Gregory Hines, wonder if you'll possibly do one on the Father and Son. Love to see what info you'd come up with.

Good Times had the bomb stars and the bomb supporting cast, I have ever seen🎉🎉🎉🎉

First, I know this is going to be good!!

Had to click, soon as it popped in my feed

Everybody talking about Bookman being called buffalo butt but he was called booger the most. And weeping Wanda had another episode where she was another tenant that the Evans' threw a rent party for so she wouldn't be evicted. The way she danced cracked me tf up!

She was enjoying dancing with James 😂

Theodore teddy Wilson Also played on "That's My Mama" with Clifton Davis. He played the character as the Mail man, that would visit the barber shop. Awesome show!🤣🤣🤣

I loved this episode alot glad Esther rolles was told about. All 4 of them will be missed.

This is throughly researched, you are awesome.

RIIP to all of them.

The father was killed off because he didn't like the inaccurate portrayal of black people, no diverse writers for the show, and creative differences.

Ty for this video bro I love good times

Great video once again

This is one of the videos i was waiting for. Please do a video on The cast of Sanford & Son, The Jeffersons & Different Strokes!!!!

This is excellent. Thank you.

So true I connect with him and I was told the truth. I met J.J Mr. Jimmy Walker ( got receipts) a couple of times and I found out they were treated ungodly. God bless that crew because we did not know the truth. I truly loved the cast thanking God I met Jimmy walker n Todd bridges believe their there stories sorry Eric and thank you KINGS...

Thanks for the memories.

This was awesome thank you bro❤️

Been waiting on this!! 👌👌👏👏👏💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️

Yeah, we've got to give Mr. Lear his props for those groundbreaking, qualitative sitcoms! People always say that JJ made the show, that JJ was the funniest character, but TO ME, John Amos as James Evans MADE the show! It was evident when the character was killed off. The show just never was the same to this Good Times fan. The way Amos/James, the father figure, discipled JJ, Michael, and Thelma, worked hard to support them, and loved "DAMN, DAMN, DAMN," was what I enjoyed the with GT!!! That's just me! And man, was Mr. Amos HILARIOUS, with people in and not in the Evans family!
