"Good Times" was downright ridiculous at times

[DaMos Supreme]

Truth be told, you be hard pressed to find any black sitcoms to even broach the topic of Jesus being black in the 70s-90s. I could only imagine the hate mail that was received back then. Even if Michael’s character was a vehicle to bring awareness in a subtle not so subtle manner.

Back in the day, at the old job, there was a lady customer that look like John Amos in the face, nose and all.

Every time she come in, one of us would hum, "Dum Dum Dum Dum", mimicking a piano.

He would just threaten to snitch on them to the higher-ups for any infraction that his nosy ass could find (and would use what he had on them for his own selfish benefit ).

OP is right about Florida. She was very self righteous, judgmental, and a straight up square.

She must've had that snapper though, because she had James sprung, and Carl married her after 2 episodes.
