Questions About "Good Times"

[Sweet Meat aka CC]

Okay, so after watchin' the same eps ova and ova this past weekend of the "Good Times" marathon as well as the 2 hour marathon now, I have some questions about this show (feel free to add on if you have any too):

1) How come Wilona was a single person with no kid(s), but could live in the pj's and wear the flyest gear on the block? Shooo' if she can live in the pj's and not struggle, there's no reason why I can't go back to the pj's and do the same as she b/c my bills be kicin' my butt at times and maybe I'd like to live a lil' more easy if I can.

2) Why did Florida think orange was her color?

3) How Thelma wear the flyest gear yet never worked even though the whole family was always strugglin'?

4) Who told Michael he could sing and dance?

5) How come James could neva get a break? And then when he did, he died.

6) How did the pj's allow Keith to come live in the apartment with the family? Hell, he was juss as bad off as they were so he and Thelma coulda got their own place in the same buildin'. Shoot if Wilona could as a single person with no kids, then I'm sure he and Thelma could too. But could Keith have really come there to live if James were still alive? I think not because I can speak for James Evans and know for sure that he wasn't gonna have that shat (guess I juss sorta kinda answered my question about this).

7) Speakin' of couples with no kids livin' in the pj's...I wonda why the lady that they called "The Wiggler" and her husband could stay in the pj's and they were dressed fly too?

8) What did Thelma see in Ebay in the first place? I mean I love crispy, crunchy, dark brothas myself but DAMN! Ebay didn't have even an ounce of fine in him.

9) How come they lived in the toughest pj's on the block but they neva kept their doors locked?

10) Why did I have a crush on JJ at one time (when I was a kid of course...shhhhh)?

...I may think of more lata...

I have no clue as to why you thought that, but to each his own. Bless your poor heart!!!

^^^ Girl, I had the talkin' JJ doll and everything that I slept with until I was 7 and he didn't work anymore.

My cousin had the same doll too, but he took the voice box outta his a week after he had it. Did I ever mention that I have very straaaaaaaange relatives? Ah well...back to the original topic of this post--lol...

^^^ Yup about the JJ dolls. But I have a few more questions I thought about...

1) JJ and Michael had a strong father figure in their lives and not once had they ever seent him hit Florida, BUT bein' that not only did they have a good father but also grew up in the pj's...I wanna know why they didn't jump all ova Keith's ass when he hit Thelma rite in front of 'em?! I mean I could see a nicca hittin' my sis rite now and I'd be sittin' up in jail somewhere because I'd try my best to break his ass! And the same goes for my brotha if a female ever does that to him...but I digress.

2) On the episode when Florida and Penny and 'em got lost in the blizzard and back at home Keith (his no-workin' azz), Michael, and Thelma were playin' charades why was it that when Bookman came in to tell 'em about Flo' and the kids missin' he was dumb enough to play along with Keith and 'em to tell 'em when all he had to say was "Look! I ain't got time for no damn games! Yall momma and Penny are lost in the blizzard!" I mean why waste all that time when that's all he had to do?
