I don't blame John Amos for complaining and eventually leaving the show. What do a white man know about black people struggling and living in the projects? The Good Times scripts was very ridiculous and stupid. And John Amos saw through it and complained and got terminated. Which was alright with John Amos. I would've quit too.
@@SouthSideLadyWright the idea and creator of the show good times was a black man named ERIC MONTE who Norman Leer stole from and didn't give him credit for Good Times nor The Jeffersons. Do your research. John Amos was FIRED from the show, (HE DIDN'T QUIT) because he kept complaining about JJs character getting all the spotlight. He even talks about how he was FIRED on a interview you can find on youtube. John Amos and Ester Rolle both hated on Jimmy Walker for that, that's why Ester Rolle left the show for a while but came back for the last season.

I can wholeheartedly relate to James's behavior. I mean, feeling like the entire world is trying to bring you down while you're doing best to not go beyond overboard.
Yes, every role she played was a pleasure to watch, was surprised one night watching "The Incredible Hulk" TV show and she had a guest starring role...
Good times is 1 of those remarkable shows that you just come to love!! It shows how black families had their struggles dealing with the everyday life!! James was phenomenal in his role and played it to a T!! Awesome :-)🙏🏽
A GREAT SHOW BEFORE 'FLORIDA' SAID DAMN, DAMN,, DAMN!!!!! (FIRST 2 SEASONS) THEN IT STARTED GOING DOWN HILL ESPECIALLY WHEN MILITANT MIKE STARTED DATING WHITE WOMEN. LOOK AT RALPH CARTER NOW. HE'S A GAY BLADE) ✌🏽🌑✊🏽✔🐐🌻
They say James was a good father in most of the comments. A real James Evans would hit Florida and probably beat the crap out of JJ. Some of us grow up with James types and it wasn't always pretty. 🥺
James knew he shouldn't have been breaking what little junk of furniture they were renting! Then calling Junior IGNORANT was the icing on the cake, ROTFL 🤣🤣🤣
@@theinsite2668 But that doesn't mean they were renting it. It could have meant they bought it on time. You know. The store extended them credit and they had to pay it off monthly. That was very much a thing back then, especially among poor folks.
@@Palmetto-J "Duh" as you so eloquently put it (Harvard graduate are you or still in the 7th grade?). Buying on time is NOT leasing. They are not even REMOTELY related. When you buy on time, the store extends you credit, but you OWN the property. You just have to make monthly payments on it the same as you would if you bought furniture on your credit card today. Only if you miss payments, depending on how your contract reads, the store can repossess the items the same as a bank can do with a car loan. If its destroyed in a fire, too bad. You STILL have to make the payments. With leasing, you never own the property and the company that does can impose restrictions on use. Its just like a car lease today. Before credit cards became the norm, buying on time was a very popular and viable option, especially for more economically challenged families.
That chair was never a part of the original dining set, as it is clear that it was wooden and fragile, and different from all the other chairs. It was one of those "purposeful props" that was meant to be broken.
Jon Amos played the hell out of James Evans I’m surprised he didn’t get more serious big roles after this show other than roots. It seem like over the years they just made Jon Amos a comedic actor all of sudden.
John Amos and Jimmy walker could not really get along like JJ took over the show and we all know that John Amos was a military black man and he was complaining too much about JJ saying dynomite on the show JJ also told Thelma to go to jet or Ebony magazine and show off her body in real life and John Amos went off on Jimmy Walker he was complaining too much that's the reason why they asked him to leave the show and the dumb thing about it is the stupid director told John Amos I've got good news and I got bad news so he asked what was the bad news the bad news you're not going to be on the show what is the good news we they gave us one more season and this is what made Esther Roller leave the show afterwards
Though this was a good show, I had enough hollerin' from my own family so I didn't want to watch this when I was younger since that wasn't entertainment, it was real life....
Hypertension can actually cause hyper emotions and anger, at least in my experiences of close family members. Once they got it under control, the temperament change was noticeable. This turns out not to be the case for Papa Evans in this episode, however.
Im a white Republican male. USMC 85 to 89. Im 57. I grew up with GoodTimes and I love this show so much❤❤❤ It is the result of Dr King's teachings. We became one with shows like this❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey, just a thought. This was before Bookman came on the show. Who else agrees with me that if Bookman had walked in at that moment trying to make them keep the noise down, James would have torn him apart. Who else agrees with that?
this is a good show at least up untill JHon Amos left the show a good show............on a side note I know your family means well when they want you to go to the DR for a check up, but there are times you feel they are just being so negitive and want to see something wrong with you. I know it's not true but at times it feels that way.
I know it’s a TV show, but there was NO reason for James to scare his family that way. If he’s upset, b4 u go home, go for a walk, go to the bar, clear your head. My folks NEVER showed their moods around us. On a acting note, Mr. Amos threw the HELL outta that chair! Ha.
Lucky you. That was exactly my father and later my brother prior to getting on high blood pressure meds and changing thier diets. Sometimes they did not even realize how upset they were getting.
@@aishareed5252 James' issue was due to racism and the shrinking of blue collar work in the '70s... by the mid '60s, most of those jobs were shifted overseas, which left many BM unemployed... it's why gang culture, drug dealing and the sale of women exploded in the late '60s and '70s. James wanted to do right and stay on the straight and narrow. It's hard when you have to go to the other man and with a 6th grade education on top of that.
I have been losing my temper over my 6th grade students being disrespectful to me. It's gotten from bad to worse since the past week. Yesterday I did a number at its worst that it stressed me.
When James slammed the door I thought the whole apartment was gonna crumble 😭😭
Thank goodness it's all stage props and not a real apartment
The door slam felt around the world, or at least Chicago.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

John Amos did a great job playing James Evans! It was scary when he got angry and broke the chair.
They say James was a good father in most of the comments. A real James Evans would hit Florida and probably beat the crap out of JJ. Some of us grow up with James types and it wasn't always pretty. 🥺
There was no saying sorry back in the 70's
Amous reminded me of my father. His resolve was always good in the end. RIP Dad❤

That door been to hell and back lol.
And l admire that James was man enough to apologize ❤️🖤💚🥰❤️🖤💚
If he would have broken that door he couldn't afford a new one

I agree. The killing of the James Evans, Sr. character (1976) was the fall of Good Times😢.

FYI . . . Blooper Alert: At the 1:40 mark, James tries to drink his beer but the "fake" paper cover almost slips off.
I noticed that too 😂
Good catch!😂
All the times I've seen this. Never noticed.😃😄😂🤣
They could have done a retake.😃🤣
Yeah I saw that too
2:36 I was about ready to take that aspirin and I wasn't even there. 😳😳😂😂

The way J.J swallowed those aspirin!! Lol

James wasn't no FUCKING joke, remind me of my dad growing up in New Orleans in the 9th ward.
OH WOW 😯😯😯😯😯
Jesus
Dang🤣
What was scarier: Your dad or Katrina?
He reminds me of my Dad when he had depression attacks.
Jon Amos played the hell out of James Evans I’m surprised he didn’t get more serious big roles after this show other than roots. It seem like over the years they just made Jon Amos a comedic actor all of sudden.
He really is an underappreciated actor. He brings so much depth to his characters. Always will be James Evans and Kunta Kinta to me
He wasn't bad on the West Wing either.
He ask for asprin had JJ take it🤣🤣
I know. That right there had me about dead on the floor when he took it lmao
And then after he asked him he said you sure can act ignorant sometimes 😂😂😂😂😂
"I said you take them. I don't need them." 😂😂
One of my favorite scenes in the series! ❤️
Sure, James was sick and tired of wearing the same ol' beige courderoy pants !!!!!!!!!
😆
The scary thing about those pants is that they started out as white.
He looked good in them 😩🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂
You wrong for that. I ain’t saying that wasn’t funny though 😂😂😂
3:07 when you find out the stimulus is still not in your account.
HAHAHAHAHAHA, but sure glad he didn't get upset :D
Tearing your furniture up sure isn't gonna make it come faster! 😂😂 you'll get it buddy!🙏🏽
Lmaooooo
Lol
OH YEAH 👍
It was a big mistake for them to lit John Amos go because he was perfect for that role. I wonder what really happened 🤔
He didn't want to keep struggling and he wanted JJ's character to be more than a "buffoon."
John Amos and Jimmy walker could not really get along like JJ took over the show and we all know that John Amos was a military black man and he was complaining too much about JJ saying dynomite on the show JJ also told Thelma to go to jet or Ebony magazine and show off her body in real life and John Amos went off on Jimmy Walker he was complaining too much that's the reason why they asked him to leave the show and the dumb thing about it is the stupid director told John Amos I've got good news and I got bad news so he asked what was the bad news the bad news you're not going to be on the show what is the good news we they gave us one more season and this is what made Esther Roller leave the show afterwards
He faked his own death, opened up a hamburger restaurant, then came out of the closet and started doing butt stuff with Stacy Keach
He wanted more for his TV family and the producer Norman Lear just wanted to make money with JJ saying silly dynamite all the time 🤔❤️🖤💚😘❤️🖤💚
Samuel L Jackson got his yelling from James Evans (John Amos) 😂😂😂😂😂
When Williona came and said I know y’all one less chair now 😭😭😭
Though this was a good show, I had enough hollerin' from my own family so I didn't want to watch this when I was younger since that wasn't entertainment, it was real life....

I almost jump when James slams the door.
