Stop lying

@@TheloniousJackson😂😂

​@@shawnburks6362you ain't right, Shawn 😂

They sure do, all aging gracefully 🙌🏽👏🏽💪🏾🙏🏽

Ralph does not

Every night for me: 3-4 am. Brooklyn

That was the best. It seems so natural a line!

How was he?

@pauljohnson936 He Wasn't the Nicest Guy But He Signed An Autograph 4 Me

Yeah. Glad someone mentioned it. He looks healthier now.

I hope it's for the right reason and not because he's sick not trying to be negative just saying.

@@katiebryant8915 yeah. I agree. Let’s hope the reason for the weight loss is because he’s in good health.

Be nice

How was being a brother in a family makes him that

@@lamara8497 are you trying to start drama I feel like you are

He was playing a teenager in Caprini Green. What's stereotypical about that? Btw, the whole damn show was a stereotype...that's why we loved it! Stereotypes can be true you know. The buffoon element from you is trash

@@thegreatone9461 why did he have to be a stereotypical buffoon though

Exactly! He’s grown to look as much of a clown as he really is, with his selfishness and revisionist mind. What he WON’T talk about is how he was the key source of John Amos’ frustration with the show, ultimately leading to his firing. This CLOWN even had the nerve to say in a past interview that Bernadette Stanis should have leveraged her looks and sex appeal for greater stardom. No, CLOWN! - some people have dignity, morals and standards and refuse to compromise them for any amount. You (obviously) are not one of them.

@@wftyler9680 if he was a *clown* he'd have been promoted and made it big time in the industry. He's very intelligent and always was. Marion Ross and Tom Bosley could adjust to the rise of the Fonze. John and Esther were so stuck on being 'social justice warriors' that they could not deal with the popularity (and comic element) of JJ. You are a backwards thinker. You want to keep Bernadette poor. She could have achieved mega stardom like Farah Fawcett, and Farah parlayed her success into other roles, some were serious roles. But you don't want Bernadette to be successful, you'd rather that she stay small-time to conform to your beliefs in 'dignity' and 'morals'. It's show business and a bikini poster is not undignified or immoral.

true. He was some relief from Lear's tired 'social message' stuff.

he's very intelligent. He's too uppity for the industry.

Hey!.... agree, plus he ruined the show with his obnoxious antics😡

He was a Comic!

No He Ain't. Show Some Respect! He's A Legend!

No he wasn’t

@@hotvegas2498 And he pretty much knew that!

Funny

They don’t look that bad! You are mean!

I mean jj is almost 80 years old. How should he look?

I thought jj was 70 well he looks great to be at 80 as for some people I know

I dont know how old you are and how youthful you look but we all will age, that’s a inescapable natural part of life. I pray life is kind to you.

@@jasondawson92 jj is 76. Thelma is 70. Michael is 62. The Dad is 84 ....so to me they all look good and I'm just happy they are all still here with us

I thought Bed-Sty do or die

Jimmie grew up in the projects too.
