In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera.

Modern pentathlon is one of the most quintessentially Olympic sports, introduced at the 1912 Games in Stockholm as a showcase of comprehensive athletic ability. In modern pentathlon, athletes compete in five separate disciplines: fencing, equestrian, swimming, running, and shooting. The founder of the modern Olympic games took inspiration from the ancient Olympics (with events like javelin, discus, long jump, running, and wrestling) but wanted to modernize it with disciplines that would emulate the skillset needed for a soldier of the time, to find the most well-rounded athlete.
