A clip from "Good Times" depicts a character arguing that IQ tests are culturally biased against children in the ghetto. Actor John Amos explains his departure from the show, citing his frustration with the focus on "J.J." and stereotypical humor over more substantive portrayals of Black youth.
Actor John Amos recounts his departure from the hit sitcom *Good Times* due to creative differences with producer Norman Lear. Amos pushed for more substantive storylines for the characters Michael and Thelma, who aspired to be a Supreme Court Justice and a surgeon, respectively. Instead, the producers focused on the "Dy-no-mite" antics of J.J. Evans, leading to Amos being labeled a "disruptive factor" and his character being killed off.
