For instance, Walker's hilarious portrayal of J.J., not only established him as a comedic force but also offered light-hearted relief amid more serious storylines.

- The Good Times cast was beloved by fans but where are they now? If the program was before your time and you weren't a classic TV/late night aficionado, then there's probably a good chance you heard of the show but never watched a single episode.
- JJ Evans — Jimmie Walker. An amateur painter who was always coming up with get-rich-quick schemes to help net his family a big payday so they could finally move into a better neighborhood, the young man was enrolled in trade school but always dreamed of more.
- Florida Evans — Esther Rolle. A terrific actress who originally signed on with the show for its wholesome portrayal of a struggling family, Esther temporarily left the show before its fifth season on the pretense of illness because she didn't like how JJ's character developed.
- James Evans — John Amos. Amos has a storied career as an actor, and he brought an important dynamic to the show that undeniably worked opposite Esther. Like his co-star, however, John took issue with how JJ's character was being portrayed, and was eventually fired from the show.
