Good Times - Getting Up The Rent Part 2 of 3

[jonjon1227]

Thelma was looking pretty fine back then. She looks better then the women they got on T.V. today.

[TEACHYOUTEEWHY]

Like Vin Rock from Naughty By Nature said, we need more Mr. James Evans in our houses. That way these kids will stay their behinds off the streets yo.

[FeiLong2310]

Its sad to watch this show because there are really families like this everywhere who don't make it in the end.

:(

[StevenFallonOfficial]

I believe this is JJ's very first "dy-no-mite!" 1:46

[TIPTON340]

Your apartment in the Victorian house sounds like the one Mary Richards had.

[imserious2187]

florida has sum corny ass jokes

[ColorMeRed1000]

Why did Thelma ask Michael where he got a real dollar? Wasn't she standing there when he said, plain and clear, that he had two dollars saved to go to law school. In fact she was standing right next to him. I have never understood why she asked that

[Bitesize1991]

if it came to us being evicted i'd be like ok honey go shoot pool.......florida was being unrealistic

[Nelly95Gtano]

LOL that pimp. But somebody tell me what was Wilona's full response to that pimp cos I didn't hear the last bit well.

[JayxSupreme]

[lovelynann]

whatever happen to poor people putting their faith in God , this was a strong model family for the poor to not give up and do the right thing

[Buffalobigboy69]

@lovelynann Your right, But there are still plenty of poor folks who have faith in God. And when times get bad financially, God is all we have to trust in.

[82CARVER]

U NOTICE IN THE EARLIER EPISODE; JJ WAS NOT SILLY.....I GUESS THE PRODUCER WANTED HIM TO ACT MORE SILLY OR LIKE A BAPHOON!!!!!

[cuttock]

@82CARVER White jew writers portray black men into buffoons, cretins, and fools. Hmmm..Nahhhh, they would'nt do thaaaaat.

[66missyg]

DY NO MITE - Classic JJ

[PWDooood]

that store manager step that michael did was fuckin hilarious

as well as the pimp was funny as hell too

[djntt69]

Didn't the guy that comes in @7:08 play the role of the director that suspends Thelma after they protest outside her school in Season 3? That's the episode when she and Ebe started digging on each other.

[ambis99]

That pimp is funny! Lmao

"I'm the floor manager I'm white I always got a dollar".....Priceless!

[anad3262]

I remember in the 70's the city bus was 5 cents, gas was 50-70cents a gallon, double feature movie with popcorn and soda was $ 1.25-1.50, in the late 80's when I was a teenager i got my first car and gas was 99 cents a gallon I thought $ 1.09 was too high, oh candy was 1 cent, lemonheads/charlie chans/alexander the grape/johnny apple were 5 cents a box, and candy bars as snickers/reeses/hersheys were 15 cents... oh yeah Jesus is a colored man like his FATHER all colors belong and make up GOD

[82CARVER]

IN THE 70'S--- with a $1.00, I could buy a bag of chips (full bag), 15 cents;16 oz soda 30 cents, a candy bar 15 cents for 60 cents & 25 cents worth of penny candy & still have 15 cents left. Bus fare was 15 cents. pay phone was 10 cents. gas 79cents gallon.

my first apt, I was 19 yrs old in 1983, was 250 month. It was in a Victorian House in Balto, 1 bdroom- walk out terrace, 1 full bath, full kitch; living/dining room-all hrdwd flrs; back yard washer/dryer & of course Central Air.

[101pinkbunny]

@82CARVER wow, that is amazing ! gas is up to 2.09 a gallon now. rent is up to 500-700 dollars a month, now a days. uh,yea. can someone hurry up and build a time machine now, we need one!

[Damadehierro89]

@82CARVER Dang!!!! really? I was born in the WRONG decade!

[macjunior3]

@82CARVER My has inflation changed. You probably was making less money then too right.

[debgirl12000]

@82CARVER >>>Wow! I remember those days so well when I was a teenager in the late 70's!! Going to the movies was only $3.00!. Bus fare in New York City was only $30 cents! Now in NYC, it has just jumped to $2.50! Now when my kids go out they need a weeks salary to have a good time in the city! Florida should have just supported James in getting the money! A lot of brothers and sisters play pool in the neighborhood to get up money! Just let James do what he needs to do to support his family!

[love184em]

@debgirl12000 $2.25

[elwin38]

@82CARVER i remember that!!! but that was in the early-mid 70's. after inflation kicked in, prices went through the roof.

[DeannDmere]

@82CARVER Dam! Yall were living it up in the 70s!..lol!

[DeannDmere]

Florida was roo dramatic! dam its only pool!

[DeannDmere]

*too

[CuteCatFaith]

@82CARVER In the '70s in Cleveland, at McDonald's, my pay was 90 cents per hour and the city bus charged 55 cents for one ride, no transfers. This being said, I moved to NYC where I got rent stabilized apartments, often sharing them. I ended up expatriating in '94. So much for the American dream. I needed healthcare.

[xsoul13]

welfare

[keonta81]

i thought james was about to pull a gun out the closet

[lilBIGn1]

boy what kind of place is that where you have to pay 104.00

[weightSndrumS]

subsidize

[shewstring2000]

@lilBIGn1

at that time 104 for rent was not cheap, the wages were a lot lower people maide between 50 cents 2 dollars an hour

[hope772]

projects

[ramula86]

jj is result of a pur3 hustler!

[JBinOtown]

He must have the lowest paying job in history if he cant make 104 bucks a month.

[tricianfred]

Well in the 1970's just like today, there was a horrible depression, people were outta jobs and the cost of living was much lower than it is now, I'm sure no one pays $104.00 for rent these days not even in the projects ~ Trust me $104.00 for rent at that time was expensive!!! ~ People are still having the same problems today but their rents are quadriple that of the Evans' family....

[shewstring2000]

@JBinOtown

back than 104 dollars was like 1000 dollars, and the minimum wage was like 1 dollar

[GreenPencil305]

James: Well, baby, I got till 5:00 to get us $72. I don't know but one way to get it.

Florida: James, don't you dare go into that closet!

Thelma: What's he going to do, Mama?

Florida: He's getting his pool cue.

J.J.: Dy-no-mite!

[diepiriye]

"I got $4 that I was saving to get my Fro together." Classic!

[macjunior3]

@diepiriye $4.00 was probably like $50.00 today
