Wow! I was sitting here watching Good Times and saw Ta-Tanisha. When I googled her it showed that Lee Weaver was her husband and that he was 23 yrs her senior! Yall have to remember Ta-Tanisha! She played Marcy on Good Times! She was the one who had JJ to paint the picture of her to give to her boyfriend and she also played the one who told JJ he had given her VD! They’ve been married for a very long time!

I remember Lee on a sitcom with Loni Anderson in the 80′s! He is still fine and going strong. Ta, you have good thing! So does he.

I’ve seen him on so many shows, it’s crazy! I saw him in a few Richard Pryor Movies, too! He’s a good actor and I see he’s smart. I just saw him play a grandfather character on some commercial recently. He’s still working so he’s getting paid!

I just saw him on an episode of sanford and son. He looked so young and i think he was supposed to be gay, which he played convincingly so.

He was on Raven, on numerous commercials, but I remember him as St. Peter in Warren Beatty’s “Heaven Can Wait.”

Oh, and re: James’ funeral, I only vaguely remember him dropping by, but I’m sure he brought a ham.

I remember him as one of James’ friends from the carwash on Good Times. He stopped by the house on the funeral episode to pay his respects to Florida and drop off some money to help out the family.

I recognize the face, but I didn’t know his name. As soon as I saw the picture I remembered the Jefferson’s episode where he’s rapping to Florence and tells George: “I’m still meeting your maid!”

Although I may not know Jack about The Cosby Show (outside of the basics), I do know Lee Weaver. The projects that I associate him with the most are the movie “The Onion Field” with James Woods, the Loni Anderson sitcom “Easy Street” (he was a regular), and an episode of “The Jeffersons” where he played one of George’s childhood buddies. In addition to hitting on Florence throughout most of the episode, his character also had some sage advice about childhood friends. He said that the best way to remain friends is to stay away from each other.
