Samuel "Sam" Johnson is the perpetual 'good boy' who always tries to do right. His confusion over why bad kids get all the attention was covered in #263: “When Bad Isn't So Good”. Sam hangs around with Lucy Cunningham-Schultz, who is just like him. He used to be friends with Butch, but when Butch joined the Bones of Rath, the friendship soured.

History

Sam was briefly involved in the Israelites. At one point, his sister Kelly also convinced Sam to join the kids' choir at church after mentioning that his voice was good and shouldn't be put to waste (#243: “Family Values”). He won the Academic Olympics one year prior to #337: “W-O-R-R-Y”, indicating his academic finesse; however, in that same episode it was also revealed that he is a poor speller.

Family

Sam has a sister, Kelly Johnson, which he seems to almost always get along with. His parents are Pete and Nancy Johnson.

— #301: “The Good, the Bad and Butch”

“	Bernard Walton: Is that the only reason you wanna do good things—to get noticed? Sam Johnson: No, I wanna do them because I know it's right.

Sam, doing good is its own reward, and I got news for you: it always pays off! Sometimes in ways you can't see—in fact, most times in ways you can't see.

Yet, it's probably what they need from us the most.	”

“	Rusty Gordon: You really don't know any [dirty jokes]? Sam Johnson: No. Rusty Gordon: Well, maybe you can make one up. Let me help you.

Sam Johnson: No. Rusty Gordon: All right, I'll let you use mine. Number one... Sam Johnson: <interrupting> I don't wanna hear this.

— #213: “Best Intentions”
