Earthquake

Good Times were great.

I just, I used to live off those things.

You know, I never really, you know, it's funny as I think back on it, I would watch All in the Family and-

it was weirdly more foreign to me than Sanford and Son.

Because now, see, we do too much about color, but Sanford and Son took place in LA and it was like a junkyard.

And I kind of knew that world a little bit.

And that kind of made sense, like just being poor and living in LA and buying shit secondhand.

I've been to garage sales, thrift stores.

Everything for us was secondhand junk, you know?

And I identified with Lamont and Red Fox and all that.

And then Archie Bunker was in Queens, and I didn't know where that was.

And even though it was a white family, I didn't identify.

He lived in Queens.

He worked at the docks or something.

I didn't know what that was.

I was from North Hollywood.

We didn't have docks or anything.

And so I tended to just identify more with the black sitcom than I did with the white sitcom.

It was whoever was funny kind of won.

I mean, everyone I knew would watch.
