Good Times was never the same after James Evans departure from the show. But the producers finally got their wish, because according to Esther Rolle, they initially wanted her to be a single mother, but she insisted on there being a Father in the house.

@@moetolove Yeah I know. I think it had something to do with him constantly getting upset at the writers for wanting to continue to make Jimmie Walker a stereotype. Esther left the show for the same reason, but they eventually talked her into coming back for the final season.

I agree. The way Norman Lear fired John Amos was cowardly. John Amos showed up to do season 3. That's when he was informed, he was fired. It's ironic, because after John Amos was fired. They toned down JJ's buffoonery. Norman Lear was just being honoree and didn't want to listen to a black man.

@JaysEndeavors Год назад

Norman Lear didn't like how powerful and popular James was. James has an issue with how the show was full of negative stereotypes and demanded a change. So they fired him. After that the show took a deep fall no matter the effort they took to fill the void. Florida left for two seasons for the same reasons, the negative stereotypes.
