J.J. Becomes a Man: Part 2 - S2-E3

Visible crew/equipment: At the police station, when Florida is begging James to borrow money from the loan shark, she and James stand up; Florida is on the left, James the right. At the top of Florida's head behind her, you can see the microphone dip into view overhead, and it moves quickly out of the frame. Then it's visible again as Florida and James walk toward the loan shark. (00:18:00 - 00:33:00)

J.J. Becomes a Man: Part 2 - S2-E3

Visible crew/equipment: While J.J. is in the police station cell with the mean prisoner who had beaten up five guys, J.J. quips, "A hundred prisoners in the jail, and I got to be in a cell with George Foreman." Then, in the next shot, the boom mic dips into view at the top right side of the screen. (00:12:25)

Questions

Answer: Carl did die of lung cancer, that's why she returned to her family.

Answer: Florida's husband, James Evans, Sr., appeared in a total of 61 episodes during Seasons 1-3 of the series. After creative differences with the show's creator, Norman Lear, mainly over the increasingly buffoonish characterization of oldest son, James "J.J." Evans, Jr., actor John Amos did not have his contract renewed. His character was killed off in an automobile accident in his home state of Mississippi while he was securing steady work in the hope of relocating his family there. Florida learned of his death via a phone call at the family's going away party. We don't know if her second husband, Carl, died or just stayed in Arizona, and it's debateable whether someone who remarries is still called a widow.

Michael Albert

Florida did not learn of James' death through a phone call. It was through a telegram sent in the mail that Florida read during the party.

Norman Lear didn't create Good Times. Eric Monte and Michael Evans did. Norman Lear simply developed it.
