Amos believed 'Good Times' was a realistic depiction of Black family life, stating it was 'the closest depiction in reality to life as an African American family living in those circumstances.' His character, James Evans Sr., was central to this portrayal.
After three seasons of success, Amos was dismissed from 'Good Times,' criticizing the predominantly white writing staff for producing inauthentic storylines that did not resonate with the experiences of Black families.
