  • With James (John Amos) gone, the Evans (Esther Rolle, Jimmie Walker, BernNadette Stanis, and Ralph Carter) struggle to make ends meet, so much that Thelma considers dropping out of school. Luckily J.J. is there to convince her otherwise.
    From Season 4, Episode 7 'J.J.'s New Career: Part 1':When J.J. loses his job, the family is short on rent and threatened with eviction. J.J. cannot find work at the unemployment office, unemployment compensation is at least three weeks out, so he needs to make some tough decisions.

    J.J. and Thelma often go to verbal war with each other. But when it comes to serious issues, they most definitely have each other's back! 🤜🏿🤛🏾

    This scene is incredibly powerful. Imagine losing your beloved father and then the pressure of the world and being the man of the house is all on you where one job loss or another catastrophic event can lead to homelessness. This scene sadly reflects the reality of low income and working people in America even in 2022.

    Some of the strongest moments of Good Times came from JJ and Thelma stepping up for the family...If Florida had passed, it wouldn't be unconcievable for them to pick up the mantle and continue the series
