Good Times | Florida Witnesses A Terrible Accident | Classic TV Rewind

[@Cromwell564]

I remember when show's like this were brand new and tuning in each day to catch a fresh episode of one of them. Those were the days.

[@theadventuresofjimmycrapol8827]

yes... they were Good Times ;-)

[@davita4436]

So who taught Larry that the proper way to enter an elevator was to walk BACKWARDS INTO IT???

[@six3reggie]

Good point

[@ryandiggs750]

All of them should have wave the hands to come forward to them

Are you making a joke or are you unironically using the word articulate here? In case you're unaware, using the word to describe adult minorities has grown to be associated with racism over the years.

[@docdee770]

@@SkanaNo, I wasn't trying to be sarcastic. James spoke broken English, but Florida spoke proper English.

[@tom11zz884]

Black women can't be articulate and speak well?

[@frankieclayton9303]

My favorite TV show growing up!

[@jamesorsby7553]

The boy has a very stubborn mother, and her stubbornness almost cost him his life. Thankfully, in part two, she finally came to her senses.

[@NAVEMAN3]

You mean the kid's ok?

[@artdealernemesis]

This is an unforgettable episode

[@CornPop471]

Bookman should have shut that elevator down

[@badgerden7080]

I agree. But buffalo butt didn't know any better.

[@1talldaddy]

it was shut down but he ran out of signs warning people about it.

[@gener8423]

Someone asked Bookman (aka Boogah) to shut the elevator down but he had a hearing problem, haha

[@umarbentley4953]

Typical negligent project life SMH

[@a_rellw5971]

​@@1talldaddyI've never seen this full episode but I was wondering the same thing. Why the elevator had no signs. I just hope Mr Bookman wasn't the only person managing this building

*"LARRY!!"*

[@AC-kl8gi]

One of my favorite scenes!

[@EarlMcDowellJr]

We all missed James Evans (John Amos) after Season 3, but there were some powerful episodes with unique, timely topics. All of the rest of the actors/actresses were able to show their acting range (Ja'net DuBois, Janet Jackson, Jimmie Walker).

[@RichWeigel]

I like how she (Bebe Drake) played two different characters on this show. 1. Savannah Jones (Season 2) 2. Mrs. Baker (Season 6)

[@tom11zz884]

She was a great multi-faceted actress. Let's not forget she played in the movie Boomerang with Eddie Murphy.

[@askiacouch53]

And one of the Fridays Craig. Tell your dad I said haaaa

[@kevinjenkins692]

That was the norm with sitcoms...the same actors but different characters

[@sauluribe7082]

She didn't also played Penny's mother?

[@GQBlue3]

Larry? Can you hear me?!!! LMAO that will forever send me.

[@Wintersnowfall8]

It's funny she was okay with her son possibly mentally slow but not hearing impaired.🤯

[@shortblockflexinit5219]

Yeah, I always thought that was weird.

[@gener8423]

Same thoughts exactly... She's ok with her son being "slow" and got deeply offended when someone suggested a hearing problem! Most parents would be happy to deal with a hearing problem than any possible mental weakness for their child.

[@shviewjames126]

That lady who played Larry’s mother is a TV legend. She played on so many shows including Martin. She is a great character actress who always creates memorable moments in whatever scene she’s in. Is there any profiles or spotlight interviews on her career. Ms. Bebe Drake is her name.

This happens a bit more than you'd like to think. I used to think that one of my students was stubborn and defiant until I picked up that he had a hearing problem. He was in the 8th grade. One time, my assistant was angrily yelling at him and I had to inform the assistant of the issue.
