11 Things You Never Knew About ‘Good Times’

8. Esther Gets Her Way And Ratings Fall

Rolle was just as dissatisfied with the show’s direction as Amos was, but instead of dying in a car accident like his character did, producers listened to her demands. She wouldn’t return to the show unless: her salary was increased, J.J had a more intelligent role, and the character she married after her husband died was written out of the series. She got her way and ironically, as J.J’s antics became less exaggerated and humorous, the series’ popularity fell.
