Good acting skills by the late, great Esther Rolle aka Florida Evans.

[@angholloway5091]

So is bernadette she's the only reason why I watched she's the first black female teenager ever in television!!!

[@angholloway5091]

And the most beautiful!!!

@@angholloway5091: To each, his or . . .her own BUT, I found Thelma's character to be obnoxious and BRATTY. She may have been pretty; SO WHAT? With all her supposED brains, she ended up marrying a WASHED UP injured football player. How does THAT, show how smart she was. Willona's character was a positive dramatization of what a woman could and SHOULD, be.

[@angholloway5091]

@@cocoafemme47 girl bye!!! Wilonna liked to pry in everyone's business and was gossip woman like a lot of black women are!!! So you are contradicting yourself!!! Bernadette beautiful and intelligent and played no games!!!

When I first watched Good Times I figured the family was so poor, instead of food, JJ FOUND dinner at the Junkyard. Scaps. Metal, flat tires. Cars on 4 boxes., hub caps etc.
