James (John Amos) makes the 6 o'clock news for returning a bag full of money.
Good Times From Season 2, Episode 12 'The Windfall': James comes across a bag containing a claimed $27,000 in stolen money and turns it into the police. The Evanses are quickly hassled by ghetto neighbors, strangers and people they thought were their friends about James' good deed. However that's nothing compared to Florida's reaction when James reveals that the bag actually contained $29,000, and that he kept $2,000 to help his family get out of the slums once and for all.

Can’t believe that Good Times is gonna be 50 years old next month in February. This show will always be a classic no matter what.

James should have never told Florida or the kids bout the money he found, he should've just told Florida he got a big raise at work and put the money into a bank account and just spent a lil at a time and kept working making money to add to it

Yep.

Even if James Sr.did that knowing Florida--in her mind she,d still do some investigating along with the kids so eventually THEY would have still found out & he would STILL have to give the $2,000 he took for himself back to the supermarket it was stolen from!! It still wouldn't have worked!!

@user-ww5qj7oj4r Ай бұрын

See!! It,s different like when you find like a $1.00 to $100!! If it,s just lying on the ground & nobody notices it but you & if you put that money up & be discreet not telling anybody!! IT,S PETTY CHANGE!! But if you see a bag 💰 of money that has $10,000 or $20,000 or a lot more!!--WAY TOO MUCH TO BE LOST OR MISSED!!--THAT,S WHEN 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 IT,S STOLEN MONEY FROM A BANK OR BUSINESS OR WHEREVER & IT HAS TO BE TURNED IN TO THE AUTHORITIES!!

@@user-ww5qj7oj4r you're right... she's used to keeping their heads above water... she would've gotten suspicious if James was in a good mood 24-7. I'm sure she would've taken Willona to the bank with her (while James is at work) to do some investigating (on James' recent deposits).

They ridicule James returning the money because neither of them are the ones who found it.

I would have called them on it right to their faces then and there. 'I return your stolen $27,000 to you and my family gets a $50 gift certificate that can only be spent in your store? You're a bigger crook than the guy who robbed you.' The store made sure the reward would not cost them a thing. Stingy bastards knew that people would be angry and that's why they didn't present the 'substantial' rewatd on screen.
