Good Times: Florida Gets a Job (1978)
Silly episode, but funny
Some of the episodes after the character James Evans's death stretch credulity, even for a sitcom, and this was one of them. When did Florida Evans get a driver's license? She came from a poor family, and she and James never owned a car. Yet she's qualified to be a school bus driver, so apparently she knows how to drive. And as for the Alderman Davis's niece holding an advanced degree and wanting a job driving a school bus...yeah, right. But at least there was a very funny scene with Gary Coleman and guest star Janet McLachlan...but I won't spoil it for you. I just think the writers should have made the situation more believable.
Law & Order: Promote This! (2009)
Miscast
Good episode with a heartbreaking twist, but it always bothered me that the actress cast as the native Argentinian mother of one of the suspects looked more like she was from a country closer to the Equator, like Mexico or Cuba, where the residents are more likely to be darker-complexioned. All the Argentinians I've known look white...
Law & Order: Tabula Rasa (1999)
Premise doesn't work
Good storyline, but the premise wasn't believable for the simple reason that no one as controlling as this father would allow his daughter to go to college so far from home. A major goof on what is usually a pretty realistic show.
