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.

Time Out

If you’re taking a vacation with young kids, flying is likely preferable to driving. Hours or days in a car with a fussy baby or a disagreeable toddler? That does not sound like a relaxing start (or end) to a vacation. Flying can be a hassle of course—delays, cancellations or overbooked flights—but if you choose the right seat when you’re flying with kids, you’ve got a much better chance of smooth sailing after takeoff.

Flying with kids? Experts say to book these seats.

This summer has been a record-breaking one temperature-wise. We’ve all sweltered, turned up the A/C and set our alarms for early outdoor exercise before the sun gets too hot. And we’ve also indulged in a traditional summer treat to cheer up our moods and get something cold into our bodies, the quintessential happy food of summer—the ice cream cone. But with this joy comes risk: how can we keep the cone from melting? Sticky wrists and ice cream lost to the drips on the pavement are an omnipresent danger: it’s no exaggeration to say that this is a threat-level midnight situation.

Good afternoon everyone. We continue to have beautiful conditions in the Northeast courtesy of strong high pressure keeping a stationary front well to our south. That front will eventually make it back as a warm front, then a sweeping cold front will help protect the Northeast and East Coast as a whole from what-will-be Hurricane Ernesto.

Grand Isle, VT

While the Green Mountains may embody the very name of Vermont — a portmanteau of the French words "vert" (green) and 'mont" (mountain) — they also obscure the coastal experiences in and around Lake Champlain, which forms the western border of the state. As the sixth largest lake in the United States, it often feels more like a sea, an impression underscored by its archipelago of islands. There are just over 70 islands in its waters, with the largest located in Grand Isle County, about a half-hour drive north of Burlington and a little over an hour from Montpelier, a city that will remind visitors of France. For much of the state's early history, these islands were the domain of farms and orchards, with tourism more focused on the mountainous ski villages on the mainland. Today, even more couples cross the sandbar to seek the summer side of Vermont.
