The man went from a Soul Train line dancer to TV fame. The musical sequences with him dancing were the only thing entertaining in the whole vapid cliched unfunny series.
It goes to show what people will accept when they are unhappy not seeing themselves on screen. Even something as awful and pathetic as this series seems good to them and gets ludicrously praised.
There wasn't a single funny joke the entire run of the show. It would die a quick death these days, but back then with so little competition it kept going for three seasons.
Shouldn't it tell you something that no one from the series was ever heard from again? Unlike Good Times where the main actors were skilled comedic and drama actors with long careers before and after, and the show tackled many serious issues thoughtfully and with good writing.
Fast forward to the dance scenes and skip the rest.
