@ Manu Ginoblis Bald Spot.....I disagree.The other time was " The Gang" Pt.2.Remember when Mad Dog's mother slapped him and basically disowned him? Then he says to James " You wanna piece of me too? Hit me go ahead" And James just sheepishly say " I don't wanna hit you son" after he had all that pent up anger and probably would've put the beats on Mad Dog if he saw him on the street before the trial.

He could be funny, but he was also a solid rock, always there for his family. Even though it was a show, it seemed real. The GoodTimes’ dad was the best. Good times in hard times, he was so easy to admire and like. John Amos was Fantastic in this, and in every thing else he did.

I can relate to this episode because I didn't see my father until I was 17 years old. On April 8,1989, six days after my 18th birthday, he had died of a heroin overdose at age 42; I have forgiven him for not being in my life. I had blamed my mom and she didn't tell me who he really was. Her adoptive parents did. At the end, I was crying so hard. I was so happy that James had forgiven his father.
