Keith Anderson

Keith Anderson
  • TV Show/Movie Appeared: Good Times (1978-1979)
  • Actor/Actress: Ben Powers
  • Position Portrayed: Running Back
  • Played For:: Chicago Bears
  • Why you should vote:: Well his knee did miraculously heal earning him another pro contract. Maybe they did have deer antler spray in the late 70’s.
  • Why you should not vote:: Like we said, J.J. took him down?
  • Here is another one we had to be reminded about. Good Times was a groundbreaking television show in the 1970’s before it degenerated to the Jimmie Walker show, which may have made it funnier, but left it without it essence. That commentary aside, when the initial lead characters (John Amos and Esther Rolle) left the show, new characters were brought in, including a man for Thelma, an NFL Running Back named Keith Anderson.

    So that should have been the ticket out of the ghetto right? No, he wrecked his knee by being accidentally tripped up Jimmie “Dynamite” Walker. Basically, Kid Dynamite did what NFL Defenses couldn’t. Think about that for a second would you? No wonder John Amos left that show.
