Norman Lear and John Amos Good Times Conflict

An interview with actor John Amos reveals the behind-the-scenes conflict on the 1970s sitcom "Good Times." Amos was fired by producer Norman Lear after objecting to the buffoonish portrayal of the character J.J. and the marginalization of the show's more professional characters. Lear is described as the "ground zero" of modern social justice warrior culture in media.
