Good Times The Rent Party (1974–1979) watch online HD

"The Rent Party" closed out the third season, featuring the third appearance (out of seven) for Helen Martin as Weeping Wanda Williams, second for Johnny Brown's Nathan Bookman (introduced in "The Family Business"), and the final episode with John Amos (Jimmie Walker's JJ said to be out of town). The Evans family decide to throw a rent party to prevent Wanda from weeping over her lack of rent money, despite objections from super Bookman, who merely wants to perform. Michael kicks things off by singing the 1967 Marvelettes hit "When You're Young and in Love," then Bookman proceeds with a series of impressions - Ed Sullivan, Jim Nabors, Wolfman Jack, Marlon Brando, Jimmy Durante, Howard Cosell, and Muhammad Ali. "Stop! In the Name of Love" is rendered by The Supremes, actually Willona (as Diana Ross), Florida, and Thelma. Despite the show's success it was decided that they could do without Amos, who didn't fare too badly with the choice role of the adult Kunta Kinte in the upcoming ROOTS.
