Every time I see J. J. from Good Times on the rolling medicare hotline commercials

[CatWoman]

I become disturbed.

I don't know why.


Maybe people who grew up watching Roger Staubach play feel the same way?

[Pas-de-Calais]

1. Yeah, I've come to despise all these commercials

[calguy]

12. It means that they've fallen on hard times and commercials is the only work they can find.

[SoCalNative]

24. I understand JJ Walker

but Danny Glover? Tom Selleck? They of the reverse mortgage scam commercials.

[luvs2sing]

2. Joe Namath seriously disturbs me.

It disturbs me that I had a crush on him when I was 12.

[CatWoman]

6. lol

[2naSalit]

16. Dude's gotta be in his 90s by now!

[LeftInTX]

18. He's 78

[luvs2sing]

19. He just looks 90.

[2naSalit]

23. Yes he does!

Football takes a lot out of you. I'm amazed he's still alive and kickin'.

[luvs2sing]

25. I think like most players of that time..

he has had some CTE problems and other health issues.

[USALiberal]

3. Lounge?

[LanternWaste]

20. Ummmm....

Ah, nevermind.

[USALiberal]

26. Why not fix your quote...

"My argument against God was that the universe seemed so cruel and unjust. But how had I got this idea of just and unjust? A man does not call a line crooked unless he has some idea of a straight line. What was I comparing this universe with when I called it unjust?"

And most people would provide the author (C.S Lewis)!

[WhiskeyGrinder]

4. Disturbed? Yeah you should dig into that.

[hlthe2b]

5. Hah. At least he's still living while his ads are showing...

Jimmy Dean may have been an icon and an irreplaceable face of his company, but geez... he's been dead for more than a decade.

So, by that score, maybe all these ads with aging stars should DE-AGE them.

[CatWoman]

7. i didn't know Jimmy Dean was dead

???

I remember watching him on the Grand Ole Opry -- his pre sausage days

[msongs]

9. buried at the bottom of a deep deep mine nt

[hlthe2b]

10. Died in 2010. Never to rest in peace, I guess as long as profits are at risk.

[abqtommy]

8. These old guys and their ads don't bother me. I figure they have to eat too and

I'm already immune to their message.

[virgdem]

11. Dyno-mite

A word i never thought I'd hear after the show ended in the late 70's. I love the way they dredge up all these actors from the 60's and 70's. No new material, guys?

[comradebillyboy]

13. Better than Joe Namath though. nt

[OriginalGeek]

14. Not really bothered by either's commercials

And I've seen Roger play in Texas Stadium.


My brother and I used to come home from school and watch Good Times (and all the other UHF repeats) and laugh our asses off while eating a box of saltines with butter. It was our favorite snack.

What really does bother me is now that I'm older, Jimmy JJ Walker doesn't seem all that funny any more. I mean his more current work.

I can still watch reruns though.

[LeftInTX]

15. I would not recognize him without "Dyn-O-Mite!"

He's a Republican who did not vote for Obama and dated Ann Coulter

He's also not as young as I thought. He was born in 1947.

[2naSalit]

17. OMG!

For real?

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

21. He is not much younger than John Amos.

[UTUSN]

22. Isn't he BFF with COUTERgeist, possibly with *benefits* (EWwww!1 ) - that's disturbing!
