It's like our culture actually knew these three as close relatives growing up! There was actually a JJ doll they used to sell in Kmart in the 1970s, Thelma and Michael are iconic too!

@@hotgritz4shonah that show didn’t put him on the map… as he mentioned, Pryor and Cosby, Jimmie has been around for a long time in comedy, Leno, Letterman, Carson is top notch stuff. He needed a wife and kids tho, I think he’s lonely

Ralph Carter said that JJ Walker was well read and a person that he looked up to but when you listen to JJ talking about himself he starts to ramble and I can't see it. However, when JJ speaks about anyone else outside of himself he is very articulate and I can see why Ralph admires him.

But the thing is, within 30 minutes of his ramblings, he does drop some bits and pieces of people and television shows that the public is/was nit suppose to'd know. Like the premise of Black'ish is Theo Huxtable married with his own family. And, the original vision of Al Bundy was him being a Black man, but with The Cosby Show showing a positive Black image, a Black AL Bundy would face a lot of backlash.

Shout out to ancestor Esther Rolle, Bahamian women are so powerful and beautiful 🇧🇸🍫🌻

I love this interview. I have a Jimmy Walker story he would not know or recall at all. I was walking through O'Hare International Airport in the 90's, Jimmy Walker was walking in my direction looking me over while we walked in the other's direction. I had no idea it was Jimmy Walker and I was not trying to make eye contact, so I put on a real mean look on my face and rolled my eyes at him. Ultimately, he looked away and kept walking. It was when he passed by did I recognize it was Jimmy and suddenly I felt quite bad about my attitude. I still watch "Good Times" to this day. The actors were phenomenal. I love them all. ❤❤❤

Ralph (Michael) is intelligent for real.... Vocabulary is extensive 🎯

BernNadette sneak pacing Jimmy's FOREVER story is the cutest thing ever.. 🤣🤣🤣

🤍💙🤍💙Good Times is a show that makes you feel blackity-black black. Ain’t nothin like Thelma’s oatmeal, JJ’s dyno-mite, and Michael-the militant midget! Not to mention the side characters: “Lootin’ Lenny” “Weepin’ Wanda,” “Ned the Wino”, “Bookman “Booga”, and Monte’ the hustla! This show gives you a glimpse of the ghetto. Shoutout to Chicago. The birthplace of Cooley High. Cabrini Green is torn down now, but, every time Good Times airs, the memories of nostalgia are always good. Salute to these infamous three!🤍💙🤍💙

Still today loving y'all. Bronx NYC. I am 65 yrs young. Still watching this today. Some how I find comfort in this. Also still learning from it. Thank you guy's for doing this interview. ❤😊

Mike I went to Egypt while in the military and it was awesome!! I arrived there at night and couldn’t see a thing in the middle of the Sahara in the dark. The next morning I stepped out of my sleeping quarters and turned to the right and was shocked and impressed upon the sight of what I was seeing!! It was at that time I knew blacks were the bomb and understood that the hate began with admiration then jealousy to the point that they would try to erase black history and attempt to claim it as their own, that’s how impressive the sight is.

I had a similar experience when I went to Cairo in 85 for a military exercise. Eye opening to say the least. Seen the world differently from then on.

Literally never call my son “boy” cause it’s a white racist word 💚 Michael was always my favorite character

This is legendary. I'm an 89 baby, but grew up on all of the older shows and STILL watch them REGULARLY. Raising my cub on the same 🤎

Good Times kept it real. The show depicted integral parts of the black experience. Thank you for having them on the show. This show was for the culture for real

I met Ralph Carter on the train in NYC @25 yrs ago. He was real and approachable. He’s the truth about who he is and what he believes, which I got from our conversation. The bro is deep.

I remember when Ralph Carter visited my elementary school in Crown Heights, Brooklyn - PS138. I was in 4th or 5th grade at that time. He came through the cafeteria and all of the kids were yelling Michael's here. We were so excited. We ran up to him and then the teachers sat us back down. That's it. I don't remember anything else about that day, but being happy to meet someone we recognize from watching tv. That was about 40 years ago. 😁

Wonderful interview. This was my show. I came home from school fast so that I didn’t miss the reruns 😊. It is very telling that Jimmy didn’t have any real Good Times stories. His only focus then and now is his comedy career. I’m here for Good Times. Not his comedy stories. Bernadette and Ralph are so thoughtful, introspective, and considerate

Remember Esther actually insisted on having a husband. Not a mom with no father. And Norman Lear made it happen. John Amos. ❤ Writer Eric Monte who was from Chicago!

Its kind of funny because John Amos( James) and Jimmy Walker was not too far apart in age. But because he was so small he played john's son. He looked much younger. People Truly don't know what a legend that Mr. Walker is. He had Jay Leno, David Brenner, and even David Letterman working for him. They all said that he helped their careers.

Fans wanna hear bout the TV show. Jimmie goin on bout comedians, the comedy club scene, etc. He seemed more interested in talking more bout that than his “Good Times” journey. I think for him, “Good Times” was a pit stop on his stand up destiny.

I want to speak to Ralph Carter personally. I totally understand where he is coming from...Katt Williams should speak with Mr. Carter, too.

Ralph and Bernadette, thank you for giving Esther Rolle her due props; I always knew she was a woman of high integrity and valor - which is notable, especially for a black woman to have power and influence in the entertainment industry at that time.

Nice seeing them! 😊 JJ, Michael and Thelma Good Times was a terrific show!!!
