Where to begin? How about with the lady with magic touch, Florida Evans, as portrayed by Esther Rolle? She returns from a season long absence and shows that she hasn't lost her touch: Her new husband, Carl, whose atheism was only mentioned in one episode, fwiw, but that was evidently enough to have him killed off & never spoken of again as a condition of Esther Rolle making a "triumphant" return to the series. Anyway, Florida marries a man who dies shortly thereafter. arrives home for Thelma's wedding and JJ loses his job immediately thereafter, and in a very short time, Thelma's husband ends up losing out on his million dollar football contract. Followers of the series will recognize this as a continuation of Florida's amazing ability to ruin every opportunity the Evans family had to better themselves and their circumstances: $5000 for a health tonic commercial, James's lucrative jobs as a pipeline worker or as an assistant to a televangelist, JJ's Black Jesus painting, James finding $30 grand from a robbery, and many more instances. Florida ruined them all. One other thing about this episode & the series in general: One of the writers must have had some kind of fetish about Kool Aid-there's a Kool Aid "joke" in just about every episode, and not a single one of them is funny. This odd trend kept going long after the "Dy-No-Mite" catch phrase had died out. In this one, Thelma's beau, Keith Anderson, is given the middle name Albert just so his initials can be "K.A.", which JJ proposes using as a marketing gimmick to sponsor Kool Aid. Yeah, really. And the build up to this tortuous "joke" goes on for quite a while. Dreadful stuff.
