Just for fun, if you were responsible for casting the television series "Good Times," for modern times, who would you cast to be the characters? Would you make them another race? Would you resurrect John Amos' character, James?
My own ideas for recasting Good Times are:
Ving Rhames as James Evans
Thea Vidal as Florida Evans
__?????____ as J.J. Evans
Beyonce Knowles as Thelma Evans
__?????____ as Michael Evans
Wanda Sykes or Jenifer Lewis as Willona Woods
__?????____ as Penny Woods
Anthony Anderson as Nathan Bookman

James would be Anthony Anderson
Florida would be Mo'nique
JJ and Michael would be hard to cast. I would probably go to someone on the soaps, maybe bryton from the young and restless as Michael. JJ...that is a hard one
Thelma--Beyonce is ok, but how about the other dream girl (no, not Jennifer Hudson who is good) Anika...I forgot
Willona would be Wanda Sykes
Penny would be another hard character to cast--hey, how about dakokta fanning? (just a finny thought. remember she was adopted.)
I like your choice ofAnthony Anderson as Bookman
