Other mistake: JJ says that everybody else in the office just has to look at their watch when the boss asks them the time but he has to go outside down the block because he can't afford a watch. Throughout the whole scene, you can see a wristwatch on his right wrist. He even raises his arm where his sleeve moves to his elbow to show it. It looks like a pretty expensive watch too. (00:05:00)
Good Times (1974)
1 other mistake in season 5 - chronological order
Starring: Jimmie Walker, BernNadette Stanis, Ja'net DuBois, Ralph Carter
Genres: Comedy
Springtime in the Ghetto - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: In one scene, the plaque Florida wins is on the wall before she actually wins it.
James: You know what I'm gonna leave the world when I go, Florida? A tombstone that reads "Here lies James Evans. Back in the hole again."
Trivia: John Amos plays Jimmie Walker's father in the series, even though in real life he's only seven and a half years older than Walker.
Question: According to the credits, the smallest of the three Satan Knights that come over to get JJ is nicknamed "Sweet Pea." However this name is never mentioned by anyone in this episode. The other two are mentioned (Mad Dog and Neck Bone). Why would the credits use a name not used?
Answer: He did have a speaking part many times throughout the episode, but gang name simply not used (just his real first name by Florida). James even referred to him in the start of the next episode by saying "Neck Bone and that other character."

Answer: Could have very well been that he did have a speaking part, but ended up on the cutting room floor, and they just didn't fix the credits.
