Is anyone else watching the "Good Times" Marathon on TV Land?

I haven't seen the show since the late 70's and I forgot how funny it was. JJ is a riot!

I also didn't realize hot Velma was (I was 5 or 6 at the time). Rowrrr! As a bonus Michael is a political activist. :)

I've watched about 6 episodes so far, and I can't turn it off.

2. I'm not but...

John Amos is not only a great actor, but he reminded me so much of my father. "How would you like a belt to go with that oatmeal?"...LOL. I know it isn't p.c. now, but my dad was like that when I was young and it cracks me up.

6. I remember that scene

I used to watch the reruns in the 80's on this independent station back in the Bay Area. I saw that episode for the first time when I was 10. I remember being really frightened by that scene.
