Beloved Roots star John Amos took a deep and bitter regret to the grave with him – he never got over being cruelly fired from the hit sitcom Good Times, sources said. A former college football player who'd had tryouts with the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs, Amos' TV career rocketed when he was cast as WJM-TV weatherman Gordy Howard on The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Said an insider: "But he and Esther weren't happy with the show, didn't think of it as being realistic and grew upset when Jimmie Walker's character became clownish and bigger than their roles." Good Times, Bad Times, Our Times, "The fact is that Esther's criticism, and also that of John and others – some of it very pointed and personal – seriously damaged my appeal in the Black community."
