Powerful episode
She did at James
She said damn a few times.
Who could forget, "damn, damn, DAAAAMMNN!!!"
I agree with her here, but not all the time. Sometimes she was over the top. That's why James faked his death, moved to Queens, Changed his name, got another family, opened up a chain of McDowell restaurants, and lived a rich life! Now look at him, his new daughter is the Queen of Zamunda!
This comment took me out🤣🤣🤣😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
So all this time he wasn't in Mississippi 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
How u kno dat? I'm just asking
Michael: Think about what you're doing to the Black community, Gambling is a terrible image...
J.J. : Oh Yeah Michael, I think poor people living in a two-bedroom apartment, paying tomorrows prices for yesterday's food is a worst image.
Michael had no comeback for that one...lol
Word,he about face his little ass back in position.
And what JJ said is still true in 2021.
JJ was and still is spot on tbh smh
@@tymck9694 😂😂😂😂
They both had valid points.
When Mrs. Evans said she would work four jobs before letting her kids quit school, man, I felt that. That's a mom right there.
And to think this actress never had kids.Thats great acting right there
I never knew that about her. That’s definitely talent.
And yet we never saw her work one job.
@@MondoMiami she did have a job she was a maid first then later she became a school bus driver
@MondoMiami 😄 🤣 😂 so true she was also a bit hypocritical she wasn't upset when cousin Raymond was wining and dinning her or when James payed for the rent with gambling money
R.I.P. Esther Rolle.
She was such an amazing actress! ❤️
@@reggiecarter7167 Yes Indeed She Was.
Yo! That acting hit hard, "JJ get the hell out my house!" Damn good show!
Man Florida was such an amazing actress!
Yea I remember when this first aired, I was a young teen at the time, and I was really shocked and thrown off by that. This is one of my landmark and timeless TV shows
Damn Damn DAAAAAAAMN good show
Sooooooo cringe
Yes!
For a woman who never had kids in real life.Esther Rolle plays a mother very well
Damn that's cold.
@@LilacStar82 How...? It's the truth.
@@LilacStar82 It was meant to be a compliment. Bonnie Franklin never had children of her own either.
@@SlasherIncorporatedthat’s not what she’s saying she said Esther doesn’t have kids in real life but she plays a mother very well which I agree
@@GloTown I don't think you paid attention to who I was responding to originally. My comment had nothing to do with that.
The older I get the more I understand how J.J felt.
I understand jj but now that I 16 year old I understand Florida. You seen how the show ended. He was lucky. Eventually he would have went to jail or killed in that profession.
Yeah but by than JJ understood what his mom point he give her a call
Tell u what Florida Evens was the reason why they stayed poor .
@@MrLp1980jj was 20
@@jameswhitejr9121 florida was the reason why her kids stayed alive
Florida played this scene. When she told JJ to get out, the passion in her voice was so real.
She probably wanted to say that to Jimmie Walker in real life. "...GET THE HELL OFF MY SHOW!!!"
@@JAWrightonline You caused John to leave because it all had to be about JJ and his buffoonery. That's why she left. The only way that she would return was if JJ grew up, which he did in the 77/78 year. I think of how he felt partially responsible by being a bad example to Michael which led to him getting arrested for taking a joyride with his friend.
She had drive in her voice. Esther stood what was right and the integrity of the show.
@@JAWrightonline Yea I understand that Esther Rolle and John Amos were not happy with the character JJ .
@@JAWrightonline YES! She'd probably had had enough of him by this time. I couldn't stand working around an egomaniac, the money must've been good.
Instead of playing Ghetto Santa, JJ should have SAVED his money, stayed on the down-low and just paid for their basic necessities.
Now, I will agree with you on that one.
Right ✔️👍🏽‼️
Facts 💯, but eventually, he still would have probably got caught and had to pay the price.
Agreed
🤑🤑🤑
This was a very sad episode. This was one of those episodes right after James had just died. As I recall Bookman warned the Evans family that they have less than one week to come up with the rent money, (which of course was a high amount), otherwise eviction would be imminent. So JJ tried EVERYTHING he could to come up with the money. But when he ran into some old high school buddies that's when things took a turn and J.J. felt that was the only way out. His intentions where genuine but going down the wrong path. Also instead of purchasing all those expensive items, he should have just paid the rent and bills up to date while still trying to find legal employment.
Exactly!
FACTS. Florida should have slapped Michael's ass for gettng mad at JJ for getting robbed at gun point. JJ had gotten shot by Mad Dog and he wasn't going to risk getting shot again and possibly killed. He was under alot of pressure being the oldest siblings. He lost his job had to wait for his unemployment benefits and Bookman waited until the last minute to inform the family about over due rent shortly after James' unexpected passing. I do understand Florida wanting to live a spiritual life but JJ had to do what he had to do to prevent the family from becoming homeless. I agree with you about JJ's spending. He should have paid the rent and bills and saved his money while waiting to receive his unemployment benefits and looking for a legit job. Everyone would have benefited
if you hustling just to pay rent and bills. Then you aint hustling right lol.
@@MUSICENCYLOPEDIA No one benefits dealing with trouble. No way was JJ going to stay legit once he got that amount of money and paid the rent. You see he kept going back until he was found out and eventually put out his home. Florida taught her children the value of contentment but sometimes grownups eyes get wide when they see a lot of money and they want it right now no matter the consequences. JJ didn’t think about the consequences of getting quick money so he had to learn the hard way🤷🏽♀️
@@SouthSideLadyWright I'm aware of that. It's true that Florida did teach her children about values and the importance of doing things the right but she also taught them about being comtent but when she learned that JJ was getting his money illegally she started to return to her religious roots and put him out. JJ wasn't informed about the drugs and prostitution until the cops came. He did learn the hard way and I see both Florida's and JJ"s point. Florida didn't like him being in numbers running due to her fearing that he would've wounded up in jail or dead and JJ had lost his job, was waiting to get his unemployment benefits and got robbed and with him being the eldest son he had lots of pressure of making sure that his mother and siblings had a roof over his head so he had to do what he had to do. Plus Thelma was working and going to school and she was willing to take a break from school to help with the finances
Wow! I've never heard Florida cuss! Good Times will always be one favorite I'd watch over and over. :)
James's funeral and she breaks the punch bowl; damn,damn,damn.
@@kennetbharde393 🤣🤣
she cursed on several occasions but not often
Like Edith Bunker, she would cuss, but once in a blue moon.
😂😂😂😂😂ar Kennetb
Personally I love when JJ calls and asks Florida if he can come home. " it's your home son"..oh that makes me tear up and think of my mom when I left but had to return because I was flat broke.😪😪😪😪😪
Yeah, I hear what your saying.
I feel that deep down, Florida knew what was going to happen. And remember that JJ didn't know that they were into drug dealing and prostitution until the cop that they had on the take warned them that they were getting busted.
We need parents like this in 2023.
We need more parents who r serious about parenting!!!
She was terrible
No we don't lmao
She's the worst
We need Parents who arent Weird and Soft..
No lie everytime they had a way to get out ghetto Florida instincts kick in 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Right😂😂
Which means JJ had an opportunity to get out and end up in jail or buried 6 feet under.
💯 Percent
😂😂😂
@@DroneViewsWithBaku5747 she kept them ALIVE
A VERY heartbreaking scene! I felt that pain in her voice.
And the shock and hurt in JJ’s face. He genuinely believed he was helping his family. He also had no idea that Ernie & Leon were also dealing in drugs.
@@losangelesrams3472 His intentions were good and yes he didn't know that drugs were involved but his friends were still in an illegal racket by running numbers.
I disagree. I am 50 and STILL don't have a FT job or Career. 50!! I agree with JJ on this one. Back then or today it's VERY difficult to find a job.
Imagine gambling being the worst thing someone could do 😂
Right! Nowadays, that’s the least of a parents’ worries.
Gambling is one of the worst addictions I have ever seen.
@@JohahnDiechter 😂😂😂
I don't think that was only Florida's point. Not only was JJ a part of an illegal gambling organization, they were also pushing dope. But it's also about being wise and not allowing money to enslave you by falling into those traps.
This scene still brings me to tears.
JJ didn't understand what he was doing wrong in his momma's eyes.
Wow, in their world surrounded by struggle, danger and despair, Florida Evans sure had dignity and class even when things got tough.
"J.J. GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE!!" 😳
I love this episode, Florida did what she had to do, any parent would that has a child who is not doing the right thing....her character was built on honesty, doing the right thing and making sure her children had the same values she did, a mother who deserves praise for her actions in this episode
And let's also not forget staying poor and in the ghetto.
What about the episode when James found the bag of money😮
All the points JJ made
I can't fault any of them.
✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Ima be honest Florida was the real reason they never really moved out the ghetto like they wanted to i do agree none of them made good choices and made bad decisions but she thought everything was bad
And then go pray to the picture of white Jesus and black ppl ate that $hit up
I been saying this for years!!!
She Was Just An Oreo
Anybody From The Ghetto Will Feed And House Their Kids However They Have To Again She Was Just An Oreo
They did finally got on the last episode.
There's nothing much worse in life than breaking your mother's heart!
You right but mama should've just STFU
Now that is a super fact , a mothers faith in her children will make it break her
Sure there is, of course we don’t have to worry about whether we are going to be on the streets or not knowing whether or not there will be food on the table, but when you’re in that position your mothers feeling are that big of a deal you can’t eat feelings nor will feelings put a roof over your head!
@@patgrice_comedy exactly😒
@Guh Dets Jay she figured it out. Mama always knows lol
Florida did the right thing James Evans Jr is living a dangerous life.
the crazy thing is people are so focused on the money is they forget how the episode ended.
Hey cutie 😍
THAT'S RIGHT!!!!!!!
❤️❤️❤️
That was bs JJ only thinking they were into gambling.🤨😒
J J Was Just Tired of seeing his mama struggle
Florida became meaner after losing James. It seems like every episode that season she was going off and hollering at the kids.
I Agree
In this case it was justified. She is concerned about the life paths of her children.JJ needed a slap upside the head to knock some sense into him before he wound up dead or in prison
I KNOW RIGHT!!!!
they actual did an episode where they addressed that happening.
True
She was trying to save J.J. nothing good comes from that. Either way something was gonna happen if he was to continue gambling. Robbed, jailed, or dead.
That's the problem with running numbers and dealing dope. Kids see the dollar sign and think that it's an easy life.
@@mkl62I'll be honest with you, people know better than to think that life and earning money without difficulty is an easy breeze to sail along through the obstacles and big tidal waves.
If James Evans was on the show he would have stop this in a second.
Word. James would've been set him straight.
If James was still up there jj would think 2x before gambling
James would have given JJ the side eye and it would be over.
Of course James played the numbers in the Black Jesus episode and She didn't mind
If James was alive JJ wouldn’t have did it in the first place. JJ felt pressure to step up and provide for the family
Esther Rolle was an amazing actress.
Her acting 🙌🙌🙌
It's sad that we don't have shows of this caliber anymore. I grew up watching this show. I'm thankful I did.
Every time the family was on their way to getting somewhere... Florida always fucked it up with her self-righteous ways.
Exactly 😂😂😂finally someone said it ..truth be told ..thats why james didn’t want to be in the show anymore ..they had plenty of opportunities but the writers didn’t want that and held them back so he left and they killed him off the show
🤣
"The Windfall" and "A real cool job" were both examples of why I couldn't stand Florida.
well if you actually watch the whole episode, you would see JJ almost went to jail and ended up crawling back home.
"J.J. get the hell outta my house!"
I think that people forget that J.J. is still a young man in his early 20's. He's still in the early stages of life, and now, without his father to guide him.
But he was an adult when the father died. He KNEW right from wrong. At some point, you gotta stop blaming everything on other people.
@@judychang8760 Knowing right from wrong doesn't mean that you know anything about life.
@@judychang8760 Young people still need a support system.
@@Bro_Joe You don't have to know all about life. But you SHOULD know right from wrong. I accept ZERO excuses for criminal behavior.
JJ was about 19 or 20 but he was raised knowingly the difference between right and wrong
JJ should have not been too flashy
Yep. If she was just on the downlow and just put all of the money in the bank little by little until he made enough for them to get out then he probably would've stayed there longer until he found his own place. But sooner or later his mom would have found out what he was doing and wouldn't want any money or anything to do with him as long as he was doing that illegal activity.
"Mama's gonna kick me out!" 😱
JJ get the hell out of my house 😁😁😁
I know Florida said she’d take 4 jobs before she’d let Thelma quit school but even that’s not a guarantee. I understand what JJ did. Not saying it’s right but I understand.
REAL talk!🎉❤🎉❤🎉
I come from that era and know the model but I fell on the floor like that TV when dude pushed it in the crib🤣🤣
Her message in this scene was correct and as relevant as ever, her passion was genuine, and her anger was real. Ester channeled that anger into her role. The show was coming apart at the seams. John Amos had become too out spoken for the producers and had been fired. Unlike now, shows back then lived or died by their ratings. And there was only so much preaching that the target demographic (the ones that pay the bills) were going to tolerate. The show had always been funny and edgy for the time, but it took on a darker, more harsh tone for the rest of it’s run. And that was largely because Ester wanted to honor her contract, but absolutely did not agree with the decision to fire Amos. In the end, even he was sorry that he had forced the producers’ hand…big paycheck that he talked himself out of.
J.H.
The ratings declined because Mr. Amos (the strongest Black father figure on TV at the time) was fired. For what? Because he felt the character of JJ could be funny and relevant without the buffoon-ery..a thing most Black shows (comedies especially) had a lot of. Mr. Amos' absence resonated negatively with the target market in the episodes that followed, so Mr. Lear directed at Mrs. Rolle's (I didn't spell that correctly..my bad) suggestion that her character take up the strong Black character arch. The problem was that there hadn't been a powerful Black female role either since Diane Carol in the 60's and Mrs. Carol's role was not a comedic offering. Mr. Amos regretted leaving the show but not primarily because of the loss of income...it was also because of the loss of the strong Black father-mother image on prime time television. And it certainly had nothing to do with the fact that the show consistently dealt with relevant contemporary issues in the Black community at the time "preachy" or otherwise.
Seen=scene
@@goldenlifelove7251 Interestingly enough, both 'seen' and 'scene' are eerily relevant..
@@goldenlifelove7251 Absolutely…I think it autocorrected, and I didn’t catch it. Thanks
She was such a great actress
Florida held her family back
Florida held her family together.
@@SouthSideLadyWright apparently not wanting your family to do something that could land them in jail or get them killed is holding them back.
She sure did. She didn't not want them to be successful at all. She was toxic
What You Expect From An Aunt Jemima Like Her Black On The Outside White On The Inside She Was An OREO
Aunt Jemima
Everyone keeps saying if James is here that’s this wouldn’t have happened well he’s not here he’s dead and JJ is trying to provide for his family the best he can and don’t act like James didn’t gamble either he probably would’ve gambled won the money and paid the rent himself
He gambled playing pool to pay the rent quite a few times.
@@KtotheG watch the black jesus episode...him playing the number and it wasn't to pay no rent
@@kevindouglas5333 YEAH! But with BJ blowing on the dice, there ain't no chance of me crapping out!
He KNEW what he was doing was illegal and thought it was no big deal. That’s the type of stupid thinking that leads people to continue making risks like that.. and before you know it, end up dead or in jail.
I get Florida trying to do right but it seems like she wanted to be poor. They had so many opportunities to get money and she made them give all of them up. Like her commercial job and stuff😂
she wanted the best for her family.she just didn't want them doing shit that would get them locked up.
They did win the lottery. So they had money
Florida was always praised for her optimism..but she's the reason why they always remained poor.
false.
America's setup was the reason. jobs not hiring or laying James off was the reason. Same with J.J.
They could've gotten money a few times due to some illegal stuff, but so could jj be shot for revenge or rivalry. so could the mother and other family members be hurt for the same. cops who were already terrozinf the area eyeing them more often. enemies within the community from what they were doing.
not every criminal is successful and most criminals don't even leave their area so basically its not worth the risk in most cases.
people really aren't understanding the street elements
This reminded me of Scarface. This is must’ve happened often when a son comes home with so much money when they’re doing something that’ll bring them up to no good
I always look forward to hearing that, "right on!" In the background.
Me too
"Where is J.J. getting all this cash?"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
J.J.: Everybody gambles...LIFE IS A GAMBLE...
Florida:RIGHT NOW YOURS SURE IS!!!
EPIC!!!
“Mama’s gonna kick me out! Gonna slap me all about!”
I remember that, LOL
Florida have to get strict after James passed away
*had to
James faked his death
@@jplaya2023 Just like you fake being funny?
James Evans Sr. Could have taken this scene to a whole other level because he would never put up with Jr going into crime. Much respect to Esther but they needed James.
💯💯💯💯
If James Sr. had been alive, James Jr. wouldn't need to do anything illegal because James Sr. always made things happen himself.
The first episode, James committed a crime to get the rent, and then lied about it.
"JJ get the h*** out of my house!!"
Be glad James wasn't around he'll yell at his oldest junior for sure
IKR!
He'd do more than yell.
Would not have happened if James was there
IKTR!
If James were still around, JJ would not have felt like he had to do that. James would still be the bread winner. After all, they were about to really be evicted.
VERY WISE AND INTUITIVE!!!!!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Esther Rolle was an impeccable Actress. Absolutely strong African American Women. I didn't realise it back then. She was an amazing and strong Black woman I was witnessing adjacent to my own Mother. Rest in Love Esther.
Now , there's steak with the beans and rice , my family's happy everything is new , now tell me WTF am i supposed to do ?
😂😂😂
michael always trying to add his 2 cents. 😁
I always felt so bad for the Evans family. After James died, I couldn't watch it anymore.
I’ve never seen a problem with running numbers. Betting at the track is not illegal so like JJ said he’s just bringing the track to them. Nowadays there’s websites that do that.
the problem was his so called friends "forgot" to mention they also into drugs and prostitution and he almost got locked up.
@@1talldaddy I understand that. I’m not talking about JJ and his crew specifically. I’m talking about running numbers in general. You’re just being a broker for placing bets.
@@dariog36th oh that's what JJ thought they were doing. But it wasn't until they got arrested, he found out what they were really into.
@@1talldaddy I know dude. I saw the episode. I’m saying running numbers shouldn’t be a crime.
@@dariog36th oh okay I got you now, but giving the Evans family history with gambling you can understand why she was like that.
What a horrible thing to have to boot your son out but I don't blame her. I remember the end of this, JJ may have been taken by the police but he hid and called home and cried "Maaaaaaaaaaa!"
I mean, I understand that bad things happen for a reason but hey J.J. had no choice. He had tried to get another job, pawn their tv set, and get some unemployment benefits. Florida to me sometimes can get a bit overly dramatic.
There's always another choice instead of breaking the law.
@@ironfromice THAT IS SO TRUE AS WELL!!!
She was against James finding the money from the grocery store,
Yesssssss 🤣
Always
Grandma Florida has one of the most powerful and expressive faces in tv history!
She never fails to hit you right in the feels!
That was some GREAT acting!
Very emotional episode
Florida's intuition was no joke. A mother's intuition is strong.

This has to be the best episode of Good Times. Watch Florida's eye movement when the new TV arrives. These are all such great actors for the 70's.
That probably happened right AFTER James died
It did
I miss Father Evans.
It didn't, it happen later on during another season.
@@jarvasedundy1No this episode aired the same season that James died. This was before the Carl Dixon episodes. God, Carl was such a mistake character.
@@karicewillis
Are you sure? Cause I watch Good Times alot. And I thought it had another season. After James died
Brilliant scene.
You ain’t never seen Flo like that! She was pissed
Even when James had that job in Alaska for a year, she wouldn’t allow him to take it. THAT wasn’t illegal. So her argument is 🧢
Brilliant episode. Brings back some great, powerful memories. I know Norman Lear takes a lot of heat for getting rid of John Amos but there was still a moral center to the show. I do wish Amos could have remained.
Yes, they didn't have to kill him off, maybe send him to another job or something else
Man that must've been hard to do for Florida. To kick her oldest child out of the house and when she cusses you know it was trouble.
Bottom line is they had been struggling for so long and James was always the one to always keep a roof over their heads, food on the table and clothes on their backs and when he died, nobody else could take on the responsibility other than J.J. The last thing J.J. wanted to do was get involved with gambling so his family could survive but he had to do what he had to do to try and make it. I don't blame him at all. He had no other options or help.
Now you know they was struggling with James, and barely keeping their heads above water.
Most of it because of Florida dashing his dreams. That's why James went to Mississippi and faked his death.
And got a new family in Queens, NY and opened McDowell's restaurant.
@@MGillDesign Lol
Isn't it amazing that many of the themes and statements by these characters apply still today?
Back when they made REAL good TV
Gloria- “I’ll take 4 jobs before I let that happen”
Also Gloria- never getting off her a$$
Stupid- her name is Florida and she was working at this point in the series.
actually Florida did have a job during the fourth season.
And she was serious too! RIP Ms. Rolle
They had so many chances to get out the ghetto!! 😂
Florida didn't say nothing when they were about to get evicted and James went to the pool hall to gamble for the rent money.
Playing pool is one thing, but being a part of an "operation" of sorts is quite another.

When Florida said JJ get the hell out of my house someone in the audience said wow
Good times had the best live audience

This is Parenting a mother like that.
Yeah, it takes such great parenting to have 3 kids when you are so dirt poor, the roaches have a fundraiser for you...
Any real parent would've said and done the same thing to their kid(s) if they were in Florida's position 💯
This is why James died. That family had multiple opportunities to get out of that piece of crap ghetto, but Florida's sanctimonious bullshit kept them in that shithole. The only reason that family left the ghetto was simply to have a happy ending to the series.
JJ said it best @ 4:05. You have to do what you have to do to better your life, but that was never good enough for precious Florida, and even James. The only difference between those two is James used fear and/or brute violence to make his point. Those two would have been better off not having kids until they got out of the ghetto aka legal shithole.
The real reason she's upset is because her name is Florida. That's the name of a state.
and not a very good one!
I see J J only wanting to help here, I can't go with Florida on this one- way too righteous.
Being thrown out is worse than a spanking
I just would’ve told JJ “don’t get caught brotha” HA! Sometime u gotta do the wrong things for the right reasons.
Some mothers and fathers don’t wish to lose their sons to prison or the grave just for a few stupid dollars…
Some parents actually raise their kids right. 🤷🏾♀️
@@tam9856 You’re 100% RIGHT!!
She was right. No way Florida would say that. Look what almost happened
Real talk!😂
After jj was kicked out, why florida throw her anger at thelma and mike
Florida loved to struggle.
That TV was next level pricey back in the 70s.
Get it how you get it JJ. I would did the same thing I was in his shoes. And I would of quit when he did too, lol. Too close for comfort. His freedom was almost gone!
Yea, life is a gamble this is so true ,look where the world is now ❗❗❗😭😭😭😭🤦🤦😲😲😲🥺🥺🥺
Right on!
I felt that! I loved Ester Rolle in Maude as well.
