Character mistake: James mentioned to Florida that he always knew his father was alive (after claiming to Florida he was dead in the past). But since James hasn't seen or heard from him in 35 years, there would really be no way for James to know that his father was still alive for sure - more like just a guess than certainty.
Good Times (1974)
1 character mistake
Starring: Jimmie Walker, BernNadette Stanis, Ja'net DuBois, Ralph Carter
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: Willona's ex-husband had 3 different names: Alvin, Ray, and Roger.
James: You know what I'm gonna leave the world when I go, Florida? A tombstone that reads "Here lies James Evans. Back in the hole again."
Trivia: John Amos plays Jimmie Walker's father in the series, even though in real life he's only seven and a half years older than Walker.
Question: According to the credits, the smallest of the three Satan Knights that come over to get JJ is nicknamed "Sweet Pea." However this name is never mentioned by anyone in this episode. The other two are mentioned (Mad Dog and Neck Bone). Why would the credits use a name not used?
Answer: He did have a speaking part many times throughout the episode, but gang name simply not used (just his real first name by Florida). James even referred to him in the start of the next episode by saying "Neck Bone and that other character."
Answer: Could have very well been that he did have a speaking part, but ended up on the cutting room floor, and they just didn't fix the credits.
