This "Good Times" scene makes no sense: Mad Dog shoots JJ

[valet]

Let me get my Moses Primm on. 1) Why is Florida surprised? She can see he dressed up as a gangsta. Why did she say "JJ, your in a gang?" Like duh.

2) They needed JJ to gang bang. So why shoot him? James was the one getting smart. Noodle that ngga and then tell JJ "Come with us or your mama planning 2 funerals".

3) thats the same little boy who James had to whoop. That would have been dope if he played the same character.
showing his evolution as a kid who struggled in school to now a gangsta.

4) [moses primm] why is there a laugh track after JJ said "somebody been shot". This is serious. That ngga could have bled to death.[/Moses primm]

Did Mad Dog grow up to own a record store in Rancho Cucamonga?

4) why is there a laugh track after JJ said "somebody been shot". This is serious. That ngga could have bled to death.

Trivializing black trauma

Norman Lear thought he was slick

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

1) She was surprised because she knew JJ wasn’t about that life
Especially the family he comes from and his artistic side
Many people express shock when they see a kid who had never been apart of gang culture or born into it. Actually become a gangster. It’s the good old coli suburban nikka argument wylin out when they have two good parents.

2) What gang members you know that can shoot straight.
Most nikkas out here ain’t been trained to let shots off accurately.
Most nikkas in gangs shoot haphazardly. This is well documented in real life.

3) This is a Norman Lear production. You honestly think a white man was going to produce something with that amount of depth in the 1970s

4) shyt on television at that time was brutal. Have you seen the Dog Food episode?
Have you seen when the niece was an alcoholic? Ned the Wino? Black Jesus? shyt even the Penny episodes up until the reveal she was getting burnt with an iron. Had levity in all the wrong places. But that was sitcom television in that era. shyt the 80s was no better for sitcom television tackling “hard” issues.

1)That ngga aint normally dressed like that. She from the projects. She know what Satan Knights dress like. She should have knew instantly he was Sataned up.

2) shooting him in the stomach didn't look like a accident. It look like he was aiming at JJ.
3) Maybe not but that would have dope
4)yes 100's of times (literally). Yes true
