Watched Good Times as a kid in the seventies and still do on late night TV. John Amos reminds me of my dad. He could give me the look and that was enough to make me quit being stupid. If it wasn't, then the belt would.
This was one of my favorite shows , and till this day I am still watching old reruns , Bernadette Stanis is my age group . So I know all about the show , I miss all the ones who had pass on . They were great as well kept you laughing on and on . Jimmy Walker as JJ was a blast. What a sitcom . ❤❤
Rest In Peace John Amos from Good Times ,Coming to America The Beastmaster Walker Texas Ranger Die Hard 2 & American Flyers Worlds Greatest Athlete 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
@@AngelHoll-pr8fz They were on a few times more than a couple mentioned on here, and there was that small guy who had different roles on the show. (Warlords member, school bully, was in the background at Davis's roast by JJ and shook JJ's hand)
Alderman Davis is my fave recurring character. I always enjoy how he butchers Willona's name. He calls her things like Wyoming, Winnipeg, Wyomea, Winnecta, and even Waldorf-Astoria!
Ja'net DuBois once said she changed her name to Ja'net from Jeannette, to "make it more French". She didn't seem to know that JEANNETTE was already 100% French, and "Ja'net" isn't ANYTHING. Her character had some very quotable lines, though, some of which I'm still quoting to this day!
She appeared in 2 episodes in the last season, the one where she, Florida, penny and another student took shelter in an abandoned house, and the where Florida was allergic to a plant.
Rest in Peace Esther Rolle, Ben Powers, Ja' Net DuBois, Johnny Brown, and John Amos. We miss you.

I always thought BernNadette Stanis (Thelma) was so pretty when i watched good times as a kid and shes still beautiful.
I had the biggest crush on her . . . ❤🥰😍😘
We all had a crush on her!!!!
That picture of Susan Batson at 33 is Kim Fields.

@@gilliancampbell6759 She was on a couple episodes as a child
@@MichaelWH Chip Fields' kid

Wow, Ben Powers morphed into Julian Bond when he died.
That's not his photo!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Alderman Davis aged 24 yrs in 12 yrs?
Whoever does these needs to do better research!
I died when I saw that!!!
Janet Dubois, was 74 when she died. She was 29 when Good Times aired in 1974.
WTH don’t y’all fact check, first?
Kim Fields, was NOT the damn barmaid.
That's not Ben Powers that civil rights Activist Julian bonds
I noticed that too!
You have Kim Fields listed as Susan Batson at 5:01. That's wrong as 2 left shoes.
I really enjoy watching the videos you create. Reminiscing over the great shows of the past.
At 7:08 the "then" pic is Kim Fields, not Susan Batson "barmaid".
Great show👍
I used to love this show and JJ❤
Rest In Peace John Amos from Good Times ,Coming to America The Beastmaster Walker Texas Ranger Die Hard 2 & American Flyers Worlds Greatest Athlete 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Stellar cast. I miss the ones who died.
That's not Ben powers damm
Since there's listings of famous actors who guested once, or twice, where's Jay Leno?
What about Cool Breeze,Pappo...and Head ?
I believe they are all still alive but they weren't main cast members of the show that's why they weren't mentioned

@@MichaelWH oh yeah!!! I remember all of that
And 🤔👤
Maddog ?
Where's one of my favorite character on the show? LENNY?
Remember:" my name is LENNY, and I want your Penny!"
That is not Ben Powers in that photo and you know it
If Albert Reed was 52 during his time on Good Times, how could he die at age 76 seven years after Good Times was cancelled?
There are a bunch of these "Then and Now" channels, and all of them using the same format. Are they all from the same source?

And you too Wilamena.
And Felonia.
@@docadams7099 He was the father of Thelma's friend who drank at first
I remember being literally scared of that woman who played Penny's mother. That was a scary woman!
All the ladies ages so gratefully can’t say the same for the guys.
That picture of Keith Anderson at 64 (now) is not Keith Anderson from 'Good Times".
Gary Coleman was on two or three episodes
"Bus driver you may be,but brand new you ain't" ! 😅
I just saw the episodes he was on the other day. He was so cute and funny back then
JJ made an appearance at a diner near me recently.
Where is the guy that said " eating that cafeteria food is like eating a life grenade" in one of the episodes.😂
Why don't y'all get the right photo of Ben Powers
I actually got to meet her in the Mall of Louisiana in Baton Rouge La. She had published a book on Alzheimer's disease.
Ja'net DuBois once said she changed her name to Ja'net from Jeannette, to "make it more French". She didn't seem to know that JEANNETTE was already 100% French, and "Ja'net" isn't ANYTHING. Her character had some very quotable lines, though, some of which I'm still quoting to this day!
Ja'net also sang the Jeffersons theme song with a gospel choir
Rip John Amos
I remember Thalmus Rassulala from Blacula!
Why do they have Kim Fields pictured as Susan Batson??
That is Julian Bond, not Ben Powers. Lol
Why is Janet Jackson always Scowling 🕵🏽♀️
Janet Dubois died in 2020 and she was 74.
what about the guy Florida married after James died?
That was Carl Dixon played by Moses Gunn. He's in this video.
Where did you get that horrific picture of the person who is supposed to be Kim Fields? Fright night!
That's not Ben Powers, that's Julian Bond
Forgot Gary Coleman and had wrong age and maybe after photo of Kim Fields.
Kim Fields is not Susan Batson.
How did Kim.Fields become the barmaid? She was a child!
Kim fields is not that old and only the young pic is her
Kim fields was never in that show
She appeared in 2 episodes in the last season, the one where she, Florida, penny and another student took shelter in an abandoned house, and the where Florida was allergic to a plant.
Kim Fields really
Dynomite.
I hate AI
THEY GOT OLD AND DIED
