"Good Times" was downright ridiculous at times

[DaMos Supreme]

Great list, Breh! I can't believe I forgot Kim & Chip Fields.


Bebe Drake (Myra from "Martin") & Grand L. Bush also guest starred. They're #BlackActingExcellence, too!

Forgot about her, think she was Sweet Daddy’s * * main

I hate this show. No funny shyt. nikkas lived this we didn't need to watch it.

I loved Good Times
Rather see that bourgeois nikkas on TV who don't represent the average Black person

I can't believe Debbie Allen was on that stuff, brehs.


Lee Weaver (you've seen him before) & Stymie from the Little Rascals went to James's funeral.

 

[Leonard Washington]

So many greats appeared in that show

 

[KingsOfKings]

But Jamessssssss she was so annoying.

 

[Monsanto]

The dog food episode was both

and

Michael teaching his dad about Black history



So many great moments until James died and Keith was brought on

 

[DoubleClutch]

Plus he couldn’t read or write.

As silly as Good Times was, several Black All-Stars made cameos or had guest starring roles:

• Gary Coleman
• John Witherspoon
• Paul Mooney
• Shirley Hemphill
• Sheryl Lee Ralph
• Hal Williams
• Robert Guillome
• Thalmus Rasulala
• Leslie Uggams
• Calvin Lockhart
• Bubba Smith, and many others.

Even Jay Leno had a cameo.

it was one of the only black shows on TV, so they had their pick of the litter.

Good Times doesn't represent the average black person

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

Good Times doesn't represent the average black person

It represented the avg Black person more than Insecure

I know you'll disagree but it's true

And nothing about it was portraying Black ppl in a poor light (except JJ when he got flanderized)

The entertainment industry is so fukkin foul and then you wonder why....you know what I'll be quiet. Many cacs and Jewish cats did this shyt back in the day. Even nowadays although it is harder to do it now.

I swear Sanford and Son did an episode loosely based on this with Ralo brother claiming he made a show that had White characters based off of Fred and Lamont Sanford
