I like when Florida and James gave Michael reasons for why he should stay in school. "School ain't perfect, you know, but that's no call to drop it." "You suck and dry up all the knowledge you can. If that ain't enough then you get some more, but you get what's there." It's also great how James apologized to Michael and then Michael admitted that he could apologize to his teacher." There's nothing wrong with apologizing in certain situations. More of us should take these lessons to heart.

@@KtotheG Yes I agree with you there. I liked the Cosby Show until they started making Cliff Huxtable a buffoon and the male bashing got to be too much. The Last Barbecue for instance when Denise and Sondra (egged on by their mother) where making a big deal about there being strippers at Martin's bachelor party (which Denise said he should have one). If I had been Martin, I would have gotten an annulment after that nonsense. The last straw was that episode where the men were pregnant. Less than five minutes into that, I changed the channel and and never watched the show again. Sorry for the rant.

That little cut at 2:13 was most likely due to James saying something to the effect of "I be damned...a n-word sailed with Columbus?"

The word was "spook".

The networks knew he was a good image. And, I am glad John Amos was a strong enough man to stand his ground. Thank you for putting out these classic clips. Brings back good memories. One of the episode I like to remember from time to time.

I wish my dad was like James when I was growing up in the 70s, my dad and I weren't close at all. To be a good father you have to be a dad and a friend to your son not only one or the other, both.

If you're wondering why the audience laughed when there wasn't a line spoken (2:09) it was because James said the line, "Damn, you mean a spook sailed with Columbus?" PC police of course edited this out.

My mother used to try and give all those reasons why she whipped us before she did. I was just too young all i could focus on was the fear of what was about to happen. But as i got older i remember all those wise words and lessons. This clip reminded me of that.
