Damn, damn, damn. The shocking death of James Evans’ on Good Times gave an entire generation pop-culture PTSD. A strong, beloved character is suddenly never seen again – and his demise is communicated in a telegram. From post-funeral dance parties to broken punch bowls, the sitcom’s handling of the John Amos character’s death was a whirlwind of emotion back in the 1970’s.
Decades later, have we all moved on? Is 30-minutes enough time to heal? And who sends a telegram to their upstairs neighbor? The Old Roommates resurrect a Dyn-O-Mite explosion of emotions on this very special episode. Listen to this.
