When he first walk in there James look like a pitbul lready to tear that man head off. Matter of fact from about 2:39 to about 6:12 he has the same mean scowl on his face.
gosset always seemed to play a sleezy guy. he seemed slezy here and even when he played their uncle and his appearance on the jeffersons ...he gave me a bad vibe
How come Thelma could get a pass and not follow the family rules? Thelma was dating this man for two months, he never picked her up at the door as required, and her family did not demand to meet him? Thelma only wanted to marry this man because he could introduce her to the finer things in life which she had never experienced before plus, he had money. Also, why was this grown ass man dating a 17 year old in the first place minor girl and why didn't he just come upstairs to meet her folks?
Back in the day, an older man marrying a younger woman was accepted as normal. Today, most is postponed for both men and women until they get their education and become established in society. Thelma only liked Donald because he could offer her wealth, cultural, refinement, music and find conversation. Those things are all fine and well, but without love, you have nothing. Thelma acted like she was ashamed and scared to say she loved Donald.
3:54-3-3:57 Classic James Evans!!! Thank you Belgusto1 for uploading one of the many classic Good Times episodes. I always have loved this show and I always will. So groundbreaking and moving when it first aired and still is right to this very day. It tackled real life issues, struggles and obsticles of the 1970's urban inner city lives of black americans. These same issues are still in plain view today. Thnx to Eric Monte, Micheal Evans (RIP) Norman Lear and the cast for giving us a classic.
this is bullshit! There is nothing wrong with that! age is nothing but a number! I find it funny how Americans can sleep around with anyone and anything, have teen pregnancies but when its time to commit they think "youre too young to marry" and they want to force their immoral behavior on other cultures! No culture is having it! If the man is respectful along with other qualities than there is nothing wrong with it! people need to shut up!
her parents always lets her dates very older guys wtf wrong wit them; tha guy looks like florida's brother on the other episode ! ewwww lol shes datin her uncle
eww why the hell would thelma date a guy like that?? LOL he's so ugly! usually when teenaged girls date older guys, they're cute guys in their 20's. this guy's nasty.
james is so real and up front with his ant no beatin around the bush with james and that nigga is a nasty old man and my daddy would have beat his ass down to the grown
@handsomeone77 to be honest, they really didn't enforce laws such as statutory rape back then - especially in the minority community. And that's what it's called when an adult has a (sexual) relationship with a minor. Who's the football player that's in the news now for having sex with an underage girl?
@Belgusto1 different states have different laws, the age of consent not too long ago was very young...even now delaware's is too...around the world its low too.
@Belgusto1 Hey! In the black community, they only enforce laws, such as profiling black men, frisking black men, arresting black men, shooting unarmed black men and ignoring when one of us when one of our family members reports us missing and ends up murdered! If James and Florida had reported this man and Thelma's relationship, the police would have just said, 'Typical black females! SMH. This goes on every day with black people.' Thelma was only impressed by this man's money!
@hands Illinois is kinda funny. The age for sexual consent is 17 with someone 17+. However if that person took a photo of the 17yr old in the nude or was given it, that is considered child porn. Recently in Illinois a police officer was sentenced to 25 years in prison for possession of child porn. So while its OK to have sex with a 17yr old, it is not OK to possess any nude photo's of them. Furthermore it is illegal for anyone who is 17 or under to marry without parents approval.
@JomoDaMusicMan I think the Cosbys and Good times are the greatest ever. They raised an African-American family from two different perspectives that were positive and funny.
@JomoDaMusicMan >>I agree! I loved this show and still love this show! Cosby was good, but Good Times was REAL! Most of us know people just like the Evans family! My Mom marreid my Dad when she was 17, but that was back in the day when that was acceptable. and that was in South Carolina, and they have been married over 45 years! Today, I would never advise any yuong woman or my daughters to get married at 17! Women and Men need to get an education in this world! You cannot make it without one!
