Esther Rolle put her foot down on having a husband on the show who loved her. Lear had the idea that there were no fathers in “project” homes. He obviously didn’t do research or just didn’t want to know the truth that there were a lot of these homes with fathers. I grew up in the projects and saw these fathers work hard to get their families out. In fact in real life as hard as James worked he would have been had his family out of there.
Wow I thought Norman Lear was behind all these TV shows I did not know anything about Eric Monte thank you so much for the story and shame on Norman Lear🤬
Both. Since Eric was a dropout and new to business he didn't understand how important it is to have things in legally binding contracts. Norman is trash for constantly taking someone's else ideas. He out here acting like giving credit is gonna kill him.
Regardless of attorneys laws the 60s was not too far from the 70s. The powers that be protected their monies. A college dropout from the projects would not know about this.
@malikkimanimaasai3703 yet Native Americans were fighting each other for years for the same land Why's that ok for Native Americans to fight each other for land but when European Americans do it, they're somehow villains?🙄🤣🤣
It wasn't that easy back then. It was hard for blacks to get any kind of work in Hollywood. He probably thought Lear was the one who would look out for blacks due to all of the shows helped get on TV.
@@MADNEWYORKER914 I understand that but he was too trusting of whitey. He was new to the game and taken advantage of. I listened to an interview he did and you could see the hurt in his eyes, and hear it in his voice.
Exactly I was about to point that out thank you! There are documentaries about this amazing, Godly man, who never lost a bounty and turned in his own son. Folks have no idea how many amazing African Americans in this country who have carved their own path to success. Names lost to History, not okay.
That was a sad story about Eric Monte. What's good was Mr. Monte proved his mother wrong by being a successful writer at the time. He also created the concept for the Jefferson's and Good Times. But Lear pretty much stole Monte's concept and got all the credit for the show's success. But keep in mind that Mr. Monte was a drop out, and he didn't know how cutthroat Hollywood was at the time. So I'm not going to totally blame Monte. But Norman Lear knew of Monte's innocence about the industry and took advantage of him. I'm glad that Mr. Monte got off drugs and he's living well. Plus he didn't appear to be bitter by what happened to him. I wish Mr. Monte the best. I'll always give Norman Lear the side eye.
".... Lear pretty much stole Monte's concept and got all the credit for the show's success." Actually, the opening credits for Good Times read "Created by Eric Monte and Mike Evans" and "Developed by Norman Lear".
Cooley High was a movie he wrote. I believe they talking about his life story including the parts about creating these shows and being cheated@@anthonytaylor7928
Norman Lear is a BIG FRAUD!😡 It's just like him to take someone else's ideas and take all the credit for himself! Eric Monte your a Godsend you kept your head held high despite the hardships because you know you're a talented writer your gift of creativity is ENDLESS!! and that's what kept you going brother you talked about creating black heros on screen, your the REAL HERO Bro🌟🌟❤🙏🌷👍
"It's just like him to take someone else's ideas and take all the credit for himself! " The opening credits for Good Times read "Created by Eric Monte and Mike Evans" and "Developed by Norman Lear".
I always thought it was odd that Norman Lear would know black culture that well. It makes a lot of sense now. Normal stole Mr. Monte's concepts and ideas. Eric Monte contributed to so much of television black history. I salute Eric and thank him so much for creating some of my favorite classic shows.
Cookey High depicted His early life. There needs to be a movie that picks up where Cooley High left off..Cooley high ended with him walking to California. Since cooley was so successful a sequel would be off the charts. Titled "After Cooley High"
Its nice to know Eric keep his wits and still had a positive look on life despite his homeless and hardships after he got blackballed. Bruh that donations clip had me weak. 😂
Came here on the occasion of Norman Lear's death. However foul he did Mr. Monte, and he did do him foul, Norman Lear really contributed to my childhood television experience. Mr. Monte, thank you for "Good Times", "The Jeffersons" and "What's Happening"
When I learned about this a few years ago I just smh Too bad Eric wasn't knowledgeable about the entertainment business he would've been very rich by now
even if Mr. Eric Monte had knowledge about the Hollywood system, it would have only helped incrementally. Monte did not have a system in place of writers, attorneys, executives, studios heads, etc. that would support him. That's why when he went to court, his own laywer and the WGA (Writers Guild of America) turned on him, forcing him to settle. Guess who supported Lear?
I always felt bad for Eric Monte & it also remind you of how Elvis recorded black singers songs they wrote & He(Elvis) blew up & got the recognition(thank God for writer royalties). I simply believe Eric was young & ignorant to how show business worked.
you know i'm a sensitive individual. i never knew who eric was and norman took all the credit for somthing he didn't do. there's so many puzzle pieces i can see and put together. from the jokes to the tradition of hollyweird. this is where live stream brain storming should come in to place. we could make a difference . continue i appreciate this ti😇

@@sharonparker3357 Ive always been a fan of Wild West/Old West History. And I knew about Bass Reeves long before it became a "thing" to know about Bass Reeves. The idea that Reeves was the basis for the Lone Ranger was based on a guy that wrote a biography about Reeves and needed a hook to sell the book. If I look at it honestly....The Lone Ranger was just "hey, lets do a derivative of Zorro (which was wildly popular at the time) and set in the Old West for the radio.....The Lone Ranger" Bass Reeves lived a really cool life and is worthy of being remembered and is legend for his adventures and exploits. But I just don't see the actual proof that he inspired the Lone Ranger.....its just become a thing people say now.

Let's look at the big picture, he said he got a million dollar settlement in 1977 and some royalties from the Jeffersons. Even if he was blackballed, there's no way he should have ended up broke and in shelter. What annoys me about videos like this is, everyone will say how wrong Norman Lear is but will praise Sean "Puffy" Combs when it's well know that he has done the same thing to his own people. That's how the entertainment business is no matter what color you are.
@@ravengyal Producers will, always make more than writers. But he didn't writers those shows he was paid because they used his ideas. A million dollars for an idea in 1977 is not . I doubt he would have gotten that much if they would have bought his ideas fairly then hired him as a writer. And as for Puffy, I never supported him, and you probably don't support him, but it was the general public that made him a billionaire.

Thank you for addressing Norman Lear's thievry and Eric Monte's under-credited genius. I've been on other sights where folks blindly thank Lear for THE JEFFERESONS, GOODTIMES & SANFORD & SON without knowing the full story or who Monte is. To your question I'll say Monte was at fault as a new inexperienced writer. But Lear was mostly at fault for repeatedly taking advantage of Monte's lack of understanding, resources and connections.
Norman Lear took advantage of Eric Monte's naivete. He was a young high school dropout who didn't much about Hollywood. He just wanted to write. I wish he had someone to help navigate the industry. He should have never pitch anything to Norman before he got his ideas copyrighted.

Norman Lear stole from his “own” and whomever else he could. I’ve had some very daunting experiences in the entertainment industry with ALL races and dodged a lot of bullets. It’s best to read up on the business and have a good atty on standby. When you’re new they don’t expect you to know these things.
@@misterkgb1 not to mention his people's history of marching and dying for African American civil rights. Dude crusaded against racism and used his shows as a means of shifting the conversations in white America around political and social issues, in order to promote the advancement of equality. That's what those Jews like him do, just like people like yourself have fought on behalf of others, such as....... um......who was it again that you have ever lifted a finger for?.......even once.......hello?.......hello?............
Unfortunately, Eric Monte, should of come in with Lawyers and copywritten his work, however, he went in blindly trusting and was taken advantage of, it's the age old story, because we as a people are very inivative but we lack accomplishing the business sense we need to market inivative creative side and most importantly capital....Things are changing slowly!!!!💛
what is amazing though is, when eric left home he told his mother i'm going to create black heroes..and guess what? he did!...he didnt get the money and the credit that was rightfully is, but he can take solace in the fact that he did create those heroes...(the money would have been nice though...) but its in the protcols of eld of zoin that you must cheat and not pay the gentiles
