Tony Danza shared a few photos with his surviving castmates Christopher Lloyd, Marilu Henner, Danny DeVito, Carol Kane, and Judd Hirsch, and he did not say why the old gang got together. I don’t care. I have not stopped crying happy tears since I saw them together again because Taxi is my all-time favorite show. I have been hoping for a revival of this show since they started bringing shows back.
Look at how great they look when they put on some nice threads! As good as they looked when Elaine sang Lullaby of Broadway from 42nd Street with them. You can watch that amazing number below. Not only that, you can see that they have not aged since that episode aired in 1980.
Since people don’t take cabs anymore, why can’t Alex bring them all together again to drive for his ridesharing company Sunshine? Since he was the only one who wanted to be a cab driver? Can you imagine what it would be like to see Louis and Reverend Jim still behind the wheel after 40 years? Gd help anyone crossing the street or walking on the sidewalk.
However, it was not about their driving skills; it was about their friendship and their antics. How I miss all the trouble, they got into. I have seen each episode over 100 times, and I still find something new to laugh at with each one.
If you have never seen Taxi, you can enjoy the series on Hulu and CBS All Access.
Before Ja’Net DuBois was a successful businesswoman on Good Times, she was a maid in Diary of a Mad Housewife. How beautiful was the 24-year-old in that 1970 movie?
I am a sadist who loves to drink hot sauce. Therefore, Hot Ones: The Game Show is like porn to me. Find out why it has me so excited tonight and every Tuesday at 10p on TruTV. I am pretty sure you have seen Sean Evans’ webseries Hot Ones, well the game show is loosely based on it.
Before the first question is even asked, the two teams that consist of two people, have to eat a very hot wing. Then they proceed to answer three questions without anything to numb their mouths. On tonight’s series premiere, one guy throws up before the commercial break. Will he be able to continue on? There are medical advisors on the show to determine if he can.
The second round is a repeat of the first round, but with a hotter wing. As the sweat pours out of their pores, they have to ask themselves is it worth it to go to the third round. For that round, they do not have to eat a wing before it starts. Instead, they have to take a big bite of a very hot wing if they get the answer correct. The team with the higher score goes on to the Ring of Fire.
That is when they have to do a shot of extremely hot sauce that turns your a$$ into a fire-breathing dragon. Since breathing out of their mouths in nearly impossible because of the pain. It does not help their lips and tongues that they are going to have to scream to their teammates through a huge ring of fire to win the grand prize. If they win this round, then they win $25,000 and as much milk they want. I hope they are not lactose intolerant because man it is going to burn coming out in so many ways.
It is rare I say I want to be on a game show, but this one is calling my name. I just want to try the sauces. I am up to tolerating Haberno without a problem, so I want to see how painful it is.
That and this show is a lot of fun to watch. You get to see the contestants are in so much physical pain. Is it wrong to enjoy that? I don’t care. What I care about is how much I love this game show.

Ja’Net DuBois was found dead today at the age of 74 according to TMZ. The news is surprising because she appeared to be so happy and healthy when she appeared during the Good Times’ part of Live in Front of a Studio Audience in December. She also looked great when she attended The Hollywood Show, earlier this month, with several cast members from Good Times. Both Jimmie Walker and BernNadette Stanis commented about her passing as the news broke.
She became an international sensation because of their sitcom. She played the sassy, wisecracking Wilona, who was very good at finding a man. She just could not keep them. Eventually, her character fell in love when she adopted an abused girl named Penny, played by Janet Jackson.
Before, she was living the good times, her career was Movin’ On Up. Everyone knew her voice because she wrote and sang the theme song to The Jeffersons. Her voice was also heard on the animated show The PJ and it earned her two Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance.
These were just a few of the many memorable roles she had throughout her long career. Today, remember her by watching Good Times and having some great times with her. It is a series that never gets old, which is why it still airs on several channels like TV One.
I am not going to lie, when I heard the news, I went all Florida Evans and said, “Damn! Damn! Damn!”
She is survived by her daughters Yovanne and Rani, and her son Burghardt. Her son Raj died from cancer in 1987.
