[sessyglam43]

[jayblac]

[jayblac]

[mmw21111]

interesting video, i hate to keep seeing how many people from past shows that i really like have died, i guess we are all born to die

[blexacano33]

This is so cool!!! The 7 year gap shocked me!

[BURNS2011able]

THANKS !!! WELL DONE

[Reavadiva1]

Nice video but I just have 2 problems. The information on the actors disappeared too quickly, and Penny was not know as the "Millicent" one. It was Michael.

[BLAKPEARL69]

Lou Gossett Jr also played Thelma's fianceé on Good Times. I did not know Esther Rolle was that much older than John and Ja'net.

[mrdaboy5551]

Loot'n Lenny (Dap Sugar Willie) grew up in Philly and in the early 70s released several comedy albums.My personal favorite was(The ghost of Danny Days)

[danewson]

Either Ja'net and John look really old for that time or Ester looks really young.

[DontFlatterUrselfSon]

Thelma can get ittt

[TheDva4lyfe]

thanks for this info

[pawgurl]

I enjoyed your video, learned a lot that I didn't know. Thanks for posting it.

[kiiifute1]

An ARTICLE II 'natural born Citizen' is NOT born of an acknowledged, admitted , recognized, NON-IMMIGRANT to this Country, NON-U.S. Citizen, Foreign National Father. That is FACT

[2468DDT]

Willona looks like Whitney Houston on crack. Just sayin.

[BlkAngel1746]

Very interesting. Now when i watch the reruns, i'm gonna be saying to my fam..."that's Flo's real life sister, or that's Ned the whino/Woodys (Sanford n son) daughter.

[thorshammer1348]

[Gemini1kibblesnbits]

I REALLY ENJOYED YOUR VIDEO ON THIS..YOU DID A GREAT JOB ON IT.TOO BAD ABOUT THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS..REALLY NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT THOUGH ....EXCEPT NOT RESPOND....GREAT JOB THOUGH!!!!

[wherearetheynowguy]

[AppleJ5]

[wherearetheynowguy]

@AppleJ5 It is episode 34. "My girl Henrietta"

[SaintIzzle]

uh...whats up with posting the actors' first names? "Teddy had died..." Teddy who, mfuggah? And what up with "Had Died?" did you just go on Wikipedia and paraphrase? That's a lot of work, dog. Just be on point with the visual commentary.

[stevewoyach]

The poster of this video need had to go back to school.

[DoktorSick]

ned the wino was also in sanford and son where he played esther's husband.

[jbeautiful38]

EVERYONE knows what happened to Janet Jackson. Too much time spent on her!

[SaintIzzle]

@jbeautiful38 as a janet fan...I say fuck you.

[jbeautiful38]

@SaintIzzle That was not necessary, but as a Janet fan I say fuck you too.

[kevinhagan17]

WOW they certainly spent a lot of time on Janet lol

[SportsLiveInTheAtl]

The Jeffersons was AWESOME.Whats happening was really funny.But Goodtimes was by far.The best comedic show i ever saw back in the 80's and will never get old to watch.Thankyou to all the actors and actresses.

[macksun]

Was there anyone out there that didnt know the bio of penny aka Janet Jackson?? I mean really.. lol

[bullfranthrow]

Great series thanks for doing all the research. One criticism though, please stop using the word "had" when stating someone's death. The first time I saw it I thought had was the person's last name. Had is used in the past participle in this case the past tense will suffice; so instead of saying she had died you should say she died. Great videos otherwise.

[Aeolis7]

YOU NEVER MENTION THE ACTOR'S LAST NAMES YOU FUCKING IDIOT. THIS IS FUCKING POINTLESS. YOU GO THROUGH ALL THIS TROUBLE AND RESEARCH, AND THEN YOU LEAVE OUT CRITICAL DATA, ASSUMING WE ALL KNOW THE ACTOR'S LAST NAMES.

[SaintIzzle]

@Aeolis7 pretty much. i wouldnt have posted, if I'd read yours first...lol

[mmfmmf332]

Correction: the projects, Cabrini Green, was located on the north side of Chicago. My father's church was located inside the complex. I had many friends from there. (Robert Taylor homes is on the south side.) I found the video very interesting. Thanks for your effort.

[RetroDimeDiva]

Damn was it necessary 2 include Janet's super bowl incident i mean really? smh

[matrixxs]

what was not mention is where did Michael Evans or the Evans get the name from ..Mike Evans and writing partner co creator Eric mote . mike Evans Lionel Jefferson, from the Jefferson wrote and co wrote the show as well the Jeffersons he played a big part behind the scene.

[zembreah]

I thought Ben Powers (Keith) was dead for some reason.

Guess he ain't.

[muzikluvr1231]

Where is the pic at 7:23 from?

[Halgrim]

had had had had had had had

[trevanismith]

sweet daddy had aids

[hulkster46a]

My parents loved this show. At the time we only had one tv. So it was either watch it or go too the bowling alley. I thought the Rolls character was too much of a winer, always upset when JJ or the kids did something she didn't like. Nowadays, the kids would of learned from their mistakes and called life lessons.

[BlackDynamiteNYC]

John Amos looked older than 34 year old

[keithjudon726]

john amos is not dead

[nygnyg1]

JOHN AMOS has died as well

[darchylde612]

@nygnyg1 you're mistaken....john amos is still very much in the land of the living and will turn 72 this december 27th.

[fatesteve1]

@nygnyg1 LOL Why do so many people think Amos is dead? ...Must be because is character on the show died.

[callmemrgrimm]

thelma still sexy 

[SusanUpstairs]

What are the LAST NAMES of the actors????

[preo2]

@SusanUpstairs I was thinking the same exact thing. Nice post but how could the last names be left out?

[healthnbeauty1]

I always wondered what happened to them. I still like that show and see it every once in a while.

[ccg1171]

What ever happened to Carl, he married Florida then you never see him again?????

[WarriorSmurf]

@ccg1171 They moved to New Mexico (for his cancer). He passed away and Florida came back to Chicago.

[elogan72]

@WarriorSmurf Actually it was Arizona. But you were close.

[WarriorSmurf]

@elogan72 Oh, okay. I remember now. Were they in Phoenix?

[elogan72]

@WarriorSmurf In all the years of watching it, I don't recall a specific city being mentioned.

[WarriorSmurf]

Jimmie Walker appeared on an episode of Elimidate in 2004-05. Was he seperated from his wife at the time?

[yomie100]

I like when it says so and so are still married....good for them! Also BernNadette looks very 'healthy' :o)

Thank you for uploading!

[scratchnandsurvivn]

I meet bookman in L.A... very very nice guy..

[andersonmom4ever1]

...Ned was also Woody, Esther's husband on Sandford and Son.

[Lionel4482]

@andersonmom4ever1 Well, I was going to add that fact if no one else did

[slobomotion]

I think of this program sometimes and have very mixed feelings about it.

[Iwtchutube]

@slobomotion how so? Just curious ;)

[slobomotion]

@Iwtchutube I am from the Rust Belt and I found this series very sad, not funny at all. I lived in NYC for nearly 20 years after and had to hear sad stories in the projects. I live in the projects now, in France. Very sad. I do what I can, I am happy daily, I work, I am an artist and sciences person, okay, but this series really struck me as horribly sad. And the husband disappeared. The man is gone.

[balotelli456]

holy crap, i thought that was john witherspoon who played carl dixon, holy crap moses gunn and john witherspoon look alike

[ladiet87]

That was one of your best where are they now.

[DominusLuna]

Rich black colored folk are going to understand as much about the ghetto as the rich white folk to. That is why these idiots keep electing rich white liberals who destroy their cities and CREATE these ghettos. Liberal policies create these ghettos just like obama's policies are turning America into a ghetto.

[bb33nnii]

@DominusLuna who the f*ck cares! just watch the damn video! post your opinions on politics some where that is relative

[MzTJones80]

@DominusLuna

Yep....and you wanna keep everything SEPARATE, don't you? Keep the poor blacks in the ghetto, away from everyone else. I believe we had that before. It was called, "segregation." Jim Crow if you will.

[DominusLuna]

A woman who looks like her famous dead brother and has a bunch of bad marriages trying to write a self-help book is kind of ....stupid isn't it?

[TheRonnie63]

thelma was sexy iam white but whe i was little i thought she was the only girl i wanted

[msmithstud]

Bookman looks like Farrakahn at 1:42

[Originalman320]

@msmithstud Please don't insult Min. Farrakhan. Bookman looks NOTHING like the Minister.

[TkMeBk]

A little, "Janet Jackson Heavy" on the info! LOL

[wudaddy]

This clip says that Janet divorced twice, but she was married three times. Of course there is her marriage to Jermaine Dupre. But she first rushed into a marriage to a member of the DeBarge family during her late teens, but it was annulled a couple of months later. Also she was secretly in a relationship with her manager Rene Elizondo from 1991 - 2000, which he revealed was a marriage that he filed a divorce for in 2000.

[TkMeBk]

@wudaddy Still only divorced, twice, since an annulment isn't a divorce.

[muzikluvr1231]

@wudaddy

i didnt know that she had married JD...wow

[RetroDimeDiva]

@muzikluvr1231 reading is fundamental smh

[mondoshrimpo]

thank you for posting this i loved it
