    Good Times is an American television sitcom that aired for six seasons on CBS, from 1974, to 1979. It was television's first African American two-parent family sitcom. Good Times is a spin-off of Maude, which itself is a spin-off of All in the Family, making Good Times the first television spin-off from another spin-off. The first two episodes are notable for their strong, liberal, sociopolitical stance, representing an attitude of 1970s progressivism.

    To whom it may concern, the later photo supposedly of "Ben Powers" the actor who played "Kieth Anderson" in the "Good Times" TV sitcom IS NOT a photo of the late Ben Powers. The picture displayed on the right "between (time log) 2:27 & 2:36" is actually that of civil rights leader Julian Bond of the 1960s who is also deceased.

      Yeah, there was Good Times, where they never made it out, and The Jeffersons, where they never looked back. Both quality shows, but I was partial to the Jeffersons, as the stories tended to be more positive. Good Times absolutely kept it real. I still remember kids at my elementary school wearing "Dyno-mite!" T-shirts, with JJ on them. I don't think Jeffersons had a T-shirt.
      Jimmie Walker kinda reminded me of a black Bob Denver(Gilligan on Gilligan's Island)
      Regardless of details, the 70s were the peak of America.

    There were definitely a few errors in this video. And a some non of the character descriptions were off probably due to the 70’s dialect. There’s were a few characters that had more active parts that weee left out but the stroll down memory lane that I experienced was worth the watch.
