I like that list. Although, Chris Rock as JJ. I own Good Times and All in the family. On my list to get is the Jefferson's (I'm just trying to find a reasonable price!)

I agree Chris Rock would make an excellent JJ. A lot of actors that became huge guest starred on 'Good Times'. Debbie allen(my favorite episode besides Penny getting burned by the iron) Lou Gossett Jr(whom I worked with besides Debbie) Jay Leno,Gary Coleman(whom I ran into at my bank)Robert Guillaume,Ron Glass, MEGA superstar JANET Jackson to name a few.

.

They should get JJ to play Willona

shes the best on CYE

Wanda generally annoys me, but this one was pretty funny, I must admit.

I like Wanda and enjoyed working with her. But Ellen should NEVER let her guest host her show while she's gone again..

Chris Rock? Marlon Wayans? As teenage Michael and JJ? Nooooooo.

Gonna need ACTUAL teen/young adult actors to play those kids, not 40-50 something comics.

Hell, they can fish from Blackish and This Is Us to find all three, including Thelma and Penny.

"Octavia Spencer would be a good Florida. Cedric could be Bookman. Frankly, the same Wilona should show up and do her part again, mirroring Marla Gibbs reappearance."

"Good Times" being my ALL time FAVORITE sitcom for reasons I will never tell on here.

Florida(Viola Davis)

JJ(Sterling K Brown)

Thelma(Porsha Williams)

Michael(Marlon Wayans)

James(John Amos)

Wilona(Ja'net Dubois)

Penny(Marsai Martin)

Bookman (I'll keep your Cedric)

Marlon played Michael in a skit on his show of 'Good Times' in 'The Wayan's Brother's' sitcom & COMPLETELY nailed it! He can make himself short. That's why I mentioned him. Also Jimmy "JJ" Walker was in his late 20's when he played JJ in his late teens. He was only 8 years younger than John Amos that played his father. I know EVERYTHING about 'Good Times' it remains my favorite sitcom for more reasons than U know.

it is weird she can be hateful and rude and insulting and that is "funny" because she is a leftist...oh well... i can not stand her... but good for her I hope she makes a bunch of money on her hate.

She's a lesbian woman of color, she can say what the fuck she wants. Who are you to judge and disguise it in some silly political robe? Its kinda like Dennis Miller, I think he's a smug, entitled Ahole but the Rightists think he is just so funny and clever. If you're hating on her, you're hating on her cohort which kinda makes you come off as uptight/judgemental.

"lesbian woman of color," that has ZERO to do with anything I said, i do not use race, gender, orientation as a factor in how I assess anyone EVER.


Where have I ever said she can not say what she wants? (Spoiler NEVER)

Who am I to Judge? Wait are you judging me? Do you even Ironic? Odd!


Are you saying she is not hateful? And then you seem to judge me for that but then say Miller is Smug A-hole? How is that any less judgmental that me saying Wanda says hateful things?


Why are you hating on Miller and his cohort?

do you not see you are doing what you are questioning me for doing?


Strange But True indeed!

I don't understand? Was Wanda too good of a replacement for Ellen or did she fall flat?

so you have no rebuttal

I'm good with arguing with right wing nuts on the .org - enjoy your day!

As usual, a thread about a fun thing has derailed and morphed into a steaming pile of fuckery.
