John Amos Character Written from Good Times

The biography about John Amos, erroneously states that his character was written out of Good Times by dying in a car accident. Actually, weeks earlier we were told that he went of to Alaska to work on the oil pipelines. The family of course was happy because for once it would mean that they would begin to see some real money coming in. Then one day his wife gets a telegram delivered and they all think it is a letter from James (John Amos' character). Instesd, it is a letter informing his wife that he had been killed in an oil accident working on the pipeline. I remember it vividly when it aired, the family's reaction, the expression on the actress face who played his wife. The solemn ending to the show (it was the last scene of the episode) I believe, and it ended without the normal musical score. I also thought there was talk that he was upset with the amount of comedy and attention given to the Jimmy Walker character. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.71.37.55 (talk) 13:38, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

This is not true. James did take a job in Alaska working on a pipeline. But in Episode 62 his cousin offers him part ownership of an Autoshop in Mississippi. The family is going to leave the projects to move there. Michael is upset because he is in love for the first time. Wilonna throws them a party in their own apartment and bookmen evicts them for having three complaints. Wilonna takes out the seven telegraphs congratulating them to read at the party. After reading one from the man in politics saying he put in ballets for them to vote in Mississippi Florida sees ones from Mississippi and says this one is from James I'm reading it myself. She out loud reads the note saying we're sorry to inform you but your husband was killed in an auto accident. The ending cuts silently to the painting of them and the funeral is episode 63 aired in 1976 also. This was just rerun on TV Land April 6, 2009. 64.222.34.52 (talk) 14:14, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
