704 Hauser

The ridiculous thing about this show was that John Amos, newly popularized by his daddy role in Coming to America, played the father - the show was based on the sketchy premise that a black, politically conscious family moves into the Bunker's old house. That's quite believable - but then what are the odds that a man who looks and acts EXACTLY like James Evans from Good Times, a spin-off of Maude, which was a spin-off of All In The Family, itself would exist in that very same world that we were supposed to believe to be the same one from the 70s?

I think the producers of this one thought we were dumb - like we wouldn't expect J.J. to come walking in that front door any moment.
