04: Facts and Fallacies

John Amos and the Social Engineering of "Good Times"

Actor John Amos recounts his departure from the sitcom "Good Times" due to creative conflicts with producer Norman Lear. Amos wanted the show to focus on the academic aspirations of the younger children rather than the "Dyn-O-Mite" antics of JJ Evans. Adam Curry links this to the Hollywood Health and Society foundation, which he claims uses television scripts to push social justice and climate change agendas.
