Lightbulb Remembering the times....

What is your favorite Good Times episode?

99% of us grew up watching it. I still watch it everyday at 5 pm.

One of my favorites is when Penny's mom (Ms. Gordon)hires that guy to go out with Wilona and buy Penny all those gifts, then sets Wilona up with a party with all those freaks and weirdos....

Penny: (after Wilona discovers that Penny tapes her confrontation with Ms. Gordon...)

"I don't care what you say, I don't care what she says, I don't care what anyone says (sniff, sniff) you're always gonna be my (sniff, cry harder) my momma..." (Penny clings to Wilona with tape recorder in her hand) (audience applause to fade)

I LOVE IT!

I can do that ENTIRE confrontation scene like I was there!

I loved it when James died and Florida didn't show any signs of grief until she dropped the punch bowl......."DAYUM, DAYUM, DAYUM!!!"

I also remember the episode when the girl J.J was head over heels for was giving him ulcers.

I love ANY episode with "SWEET LENNY"

"Don't waste your money at JC Penny, you can get it right here from SWEET LENNY, if I aint go it, than it aint ANY!"

He was the coolest boot-legg product selling, fur coat wearing, cat on the street!

I think he had a "pimps perm" too!

I can't remember specific lines but I remember the prom episode where JJ took Debbie ALLEN to the prom and she was a HEROIN ADDICT. Remember that one??

*singing** Remember the times, when we fell in love. . . DO YOU REMEMBER GIRL, you and ME, . . . WHAT ABOUT US GIRL!!

That was one of my fave MJ songs and videos.

Besides when JJ was saying DY-NO-MITE, Thelma was my favorite character.

She inspired me many times.

There was one episode where she was about to get kicked out of school for standing up to the administration. That almost got me in trouble too.

I also remeber the episode when Thelma thought she was about to marry that African. She changed her name, her hair, her clothes, and her mind with the quickness when she found out what he was all about.

Thelma is also the reason I wasn't afraid to rock the afro puff. She always made it look so nice.

Who remembers the words to the song?

Good Times.
Any time you meet a payment.
Good Times.
Any time you need a friend.
Good Times.
Any time you're out from under.

Not getting hastled, not getting hustled.
Keepin' your head above water,
Making a wave when you can.

Temporary lay offs.
Good Times.
Easy credit rip offs.
Good Times.
Scratchin' and surviving.
Good Times.
Hangin in a chow line
Good Times.
Ain't we lucky we got 'em
Good Times.

the lyrics queen.....

One of my FAVORITE shows! Unfortunately I don't have cable so I don't get to watch it now.

I liked the entire series of episodes that led to Wilona adopting Penny. The scene where Wilona found the hot iron burn on Penny's back had me in tears.

Has anybody else noticed that the Evans' ate a whoooole lot of oatmeal?

Also, I don't know how it was back then but in the 'hood we locked our doors. Maybe Wilona had a key but they never really showed it.

I also don't know how they lived that high up and had to either walk or take the elevator in that FILTHY building. I guess ya gotta do what ya gotta do...

MaMaBuddha:

What's a Chow line??

Ok, my favorite episode was the one when Florida and Wilona were arguing because Penny had questions about the birds and the bees and Wilona didn't want to talk to her about it, and Florida felt like Penny was old enough to know. Florida told Wilona:
"Old woman living in a shoe...got ONE child and don't know what to do!"
I thought that had to be the biggest put down ever!

When I watched the show as a little girl, I always wanted to know why we never ate oatmeal at our house. My mama kept telling me I wouldn't like it. She bought me some oatmeal and sure enough, I hated it but I tried to to act like it was the best thing since sliced bread. Of course, she knew better.

There are so many episodes I like. I remember telling people "boy" is a white racist word (courtsey of the "militant midget"). Thelma and Keith's wedding with Michael singing. JJ going to the STD clinic.
The time when Michael brought a friend over to study and James beat him down...

I'm a Good Times fanatic (bought the tape they were selling on TV). Anyway, my favorite one is where they find out that their friend has been eating dog food and she makes them the meat loaf (I always crack up on that one!) Here's some others that stick out in my mind:

1) When the Evan's were about to get evicted and JJ comes up with a scam where Thelma has to say "Oh my, I'm so hungry, I think I'm going to faint!"

2) Any episode where JJ mentioned that he would just fiiiinnnnd things.

3) The episode where James is going to shoot pool to save the family (same one as #1) and when Florida stands in front the door, he moves her. She says "D___, that man always could move me!"

Cool

My favorite is when Florida had Larry, one of the boys from her bus come over and they find out he can't hear and he almost falls down the elevator shaft. I also liked the one where everyone thought Fishbone was dead and he went to his own funeral dresed as a woman in grief. The one with the dog food always tickles me when J.J. starts prayer with " The Lord is my German Shepherd". I can still hear the closing song "Just looking out of the window, watching the asphalt road.... Y'all know the rest.

My favorite is when Gary Coleman was one of the children on Florida's schoolbus and he came to visit her. She had snooty guests visiting (I dont' remember why), and Little Arnold snatched the snooty lady's wig off. Every time I see that one I
holler!
Boy this thread brought up favorites episodes that I forgot I even had
