Eric Monte WTF

Watching the updated Good Times reminds me to ask what I did 10 years ago: what the hell happened to Eric Monte? 

One of the best-kept secrets in Hollywood in the '70s was that Eric Monte was responsible for creating the characters of George and Weezie Jefferson, Cooley High and What's Happening!! Oh yeah, and he helped create a little show called "Good Times."

What's known now is that for the last 5 years, he has lived in a homeless shelter.

Amazing to me. Guy that is responsible for some of the greatest tv of the last century, (back when tv wasn't retarded) and here he is sitting in a homeless shelter hoping to sell a script...in a world where the sitcom is so beyond stupid it's not even worth calling television.

I have a feeling Eric Monte could fart better scripts than what's showing up on your tv right now. But I guess we'll never know. Which fucking sucks.
