First Famous Amos and now this. If I were Tori Amos I'd be nervous. Rule of 3.

I have so many questions about why they waited until today when he died back in August.

The last of The Mary Tyler Moore Show cast. 13 episodes. Now they're all gone.

Seems like a likable fellow.

This means he was only 34 when the show came on. They must have tried to make him look older.

Always liked him. RIP.

Was going to post the same thing. You just knew that James Evans would take care of business if anyone messed with his family.

Grand Pappy Amos the head of the clan, he roared like lion but was gentle as a lamb.

Great guy and actor. Didn’t seem eye to eye with Norman Lear, but I thought he laid his case out well.

John Amos's character made Good Times, imo, not JJ, or anybody else.
