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. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

Dairy Queen is one of the original pioneers of soft serve. Its co-founder, J.F. McCullough, is credited by some as having invented the first soft serve machine in 1938 (other accounts attribute the invention to Tom Carvel of rival brand Carvel). The fact that the first Dairy Queen location opened along historic Route 66 only served to cement soft serve as the quintessential fast food dessert. Each swirly cone from Dairy Queen is a piece of dessert history, but it isn't technically ice cream.
