What I liked about this show is that it dealt with the reality of being poor. It still had humor, love, life issues and both parents were loving people. I love watching it on TV land, still a favorite.
This show didn't deal with people being poor it dealt with being MISERABLY POOR , i grew up the same way and i could relate but i didn't watch it for that reason , i had only 1 reason for watching and that was to see............Doctor...........DYNO...MIIIIITTE !!!!!
This is the only show I could relate to in my childhood. Being from a welfare family these situations echoed at that time. The episode where the father passed away in the last season actually made me cry when I was young. This is how much I could relate to this sitcom family. Poorness has no color barrier. It affects us all the same.
@@DCFelix67 ... You're right. I just finished binge watching it. And I completely forgot that the show still continued without the dad. You're right. It wasn't the same.
One of the greatest and most influential shows in television history. John Amos is one of the greatest living actors. Jimmie Walker probably the most underrated major comedian of our time, but one of the biggest stars during the 70s because of Good Times. At one time Jay Leno and David Letterman were writing jokes for him.
Esther/Florida , the mother seemed a bit awkward at times - like she really wasn’t into it and kinda nervous but maybe I’m wrong ! She was a talented person all around !!!
@@zoomonkeydotcom2005 You'd be correct. Despite the success of the show, many of the actors weren't comfortable with the scripts produced by white writers. One of the reasons the character of the father was killed was due to the actor refusing to follow some of what they had written. He compared it to a minstrel show and had asked for different plotlines multiple times to give the family more dimension and break away from the typical stereotypes the show emphasized. But the white writers were having none of that and killed him off IMMEDIATELY.
Audience busted ass when he walked out. I remember my mom used to watch this a shit ton when I was younger when we was still in south Chicago. Good times those were.
Back when there was no such thing as "mental health" in a black household. If the child was autistic or anything he'd be called "bad" or "slow." JJ reminds me of a kid that rode my bus years ago.
Jimmie Walker was Great just Hilarious, It's very hard to find a show that any more I was just kid then. It's now 2020 we need these kind's of TV Shows now. Like Jimmie Walker said on the show let Good Times roll baby. I enjoy the ( Good Times )
That's funny, but true. I remember I met Esther Roll as a 12 year old, and asked her to say Dynamite. She look at me with such vitriol; and said I'll leave that for dummies like you, and J J. I was shocked, and embarrassed as she said this in front of my entire six grade class.
It's crazy to see Jimmie Walker have facial expressions... When he's being interviewed, it looks like his face is carved in a hard substance and can't have any other emotion than "pouting".
Sadly he’s become a very angry biter man. He’s the only cast member to be rude and mean when talking about the show. This was the highlight of his career and I think he’s depressed about peaking so early
I so loved this show growing up in the 70s I’m as white as ever and I just loved how these shows put a real spin on reality I’m sixty now I’m I still love watching jj he wad the best Sanford and son was another good one. I guess growing up I connected with the humour and struggle
John Amos made the show on point when they killed him off it wasn't the same after Moses Gunn played Florida's love interest then became husband and wife finding out he has lung cancer
if I recall rightly, John Amos outright hated Jimmie Walker and refused to work with him, so it got to the point where CBS decided to kill off his character because he kept saying that JJ wasn't the star of the show
oh yea cosby well good times was one of the most racist shows on. glad its gone but in real life at least jj did not drug women up and rape them shove that in your ass ok@@angeljohnson6665
I agree good times season two a lot of shows epodes mick and James stupid Florida all of them had nothing but hate towards white people just nasty remarks every time it was on show should be called racist time... @Kam Mike
Thelma thelma thelma "hilarious" What a great show. He reminds me of guys who think they are so cool you got to fall for them. Boy did he play the part of a wanna be your man kind of dude but always got blown away regardless, no matter how cool he and do the cool. Good times 4ever
All of these comments uplifting Jimmie Walker’s behavior on set and downing ROLL AND AMOS is pissing me off. I still don’t like Jimmie. I don’t even think he identifies as being black 🙄 Don’t get me wrong if I were a newbie and stole the show and the money I wouldn’t wanna be picked on either but my goodness. I truly believe ROLL directed her frustration towards production AND Jimmie. It’s not his fault though. He isn’t making HR decisions. She should’ve kept her lane of anger in the correct direction. Sort of remind me of Will Smith and the original ain’t VIV. But I won’t digress bc Will was WRONG smdh
For salvation, we just need to follow the way they did it in Acts? They were baptized in water for the removal of sins and filled with the Holy Ghost. Here's why! The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. If we are to follow him, we must do the same thing. Death= repentance, Burial = baptism, and resurrection = being filled and rising again from the dead. That's what Acts 2:38 is. We must obey the gospel, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ... Matthew 7:21-23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in Heaven. St John 3:3-5, EXCEPT a man, be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD. We can't come up with our own gospel. Galatians 1:8-9, But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Don't be cursed. One way for all people. Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritans. Our salvation has to match up with the scriptures and no scriptures on the subject can be taken away. Eternity is TOOO long to be WRONG! st, John 5:39, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. The gospels show what Christ has done on the cross for us. The book of Acts shows us the beginning of Christ's Church and how to enter the Church, obeying Acts 2:38. The letters were written to the Church to show us how to behave now that we are born again into the Church. It's better to walk alone than to walk with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Are we supposed to follow the teachings of the apostles? Acts 2:42, And they continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrines. Ephesians 2:20, We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. Don't get Titus 3:5 mixed up with James 2:14-26, about WORKS. One is a WORK of your OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS OR GOOD DEEDS and the other is a WORK OF FAITH. Titus 1:16, They profess that they know God; but in WORKS they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. If you believe in this message, be blessed by God in helping to spread it in the name of Jesus Christ so people can get saved the right way. God bless you...
Estar Roll is not only a good actressw but she must have been hot girl when she was thelmas age... I say this because she was alreay kinda of old on the show

Absolutely loved this show
Nobody did social issues in sitcoms as brilliantly as Norman Lear.
LOVED THIS SHOW… IT HAD A HARD WORKING FATHER… AND A FAITHFUL/PRAYERFUL MOTHER

Poorness has no color barrier. It affects us all the same.
But he didn't pass away in the last season. It went on for 3 seasons without him (not as good, in my opinion).
Not to Biden, it don’t. To quote the man, “poor kids are as bright as white kids”, or didn’t you get that memo!?? 😅
@@DCFelix67 ... You're right. I just finished binge watching it. And I completely forgot that the show still continued without the dad.

Thank you Life, for letting *Good Times* be a part of my childhood forever 💞
This is one of the greatest casts in any live studio audience show ever!!!
Audience busted ass when he walked out.
I remember my mom used to watch this a shit ton when I was younger when we was still in south Chicago. Good times those were.
Thelma was so beautiful
(Still is)
"MY NAME IS FLORIDA. THAT'S THE NAME OF A STATE!"

Damn, figured that out all by yourself?
Florida is a pretty name
Pretty name

I swear I believe the cast were the true writers of the scripts. Gotta be. Mess is hilarious 🤣🤣
Jay Jay made this show with that crazy sense of fun and wise cracks

My favorite TV show back then Dinomite!
Thelma with that beautiful Fro,don't get no finer than that!!!!

Too bad they all hated each others guts. Great show.
Paul Crewe exactly

did anyone see the good times live show when they introduced the original cast thelma SLAMMED the door on jj
l
I met him when I was 12n,he was cool.wirh me and we talk so maybe was a Fan.
Yes
I think that was more of a reflex. I don’t think she did that purposely
it's weird that he is wearing shoes socks and a towel.
JJ was straight weird
He hard asf 🔥🔥🔥ruclips.net/p/PLTxbXjOqM7d-0QCPzd4R19BJ6vVgYoaF2
Jimmie would do anything to get a laugh
It's the bonnet that got me😅😅😅

It felt different without James Evans on good times
@Khary Ward FACT.
He hard asf 🔥🔥🔥ruclips.net/p/PLTxbXjOqM7d-0QCPzd4R19BJ6vVgYoaF2
That was the purpose of them writing him off...So DISGUSTING..
@@saharastorm179 what do you mean, that was the purpose??
I agree it never felt the same without him.
@@merncat3384 The Network didn't want to show a strong, cohesive and loving black family with a devoted Father....
It All Belongs To Kid Dynomite
This is so funny but teaches Life lesson and a father and mother who raised their kids and love them.
The Evans family was so poor, they purchased soup from the grocery and paid it off in installments.😂😂😂😂
Those were really were good times back then
There will never be another j.j and there will never be another good times that for darn sure
John Amos made the show on point when they killed him off it wasn't the same after Moses Gunn played Florida's love interest then became husband and wife finding out he has lung cancer
Samuel Griffin bernadette and jimmie were the heart and soul of the show!!!

@@GenGamesUniverse John Amos left to play Toby in Roots.
@@GenGamesUniverse Crazy cause JJ carried the show.
The politics didn’t age well but the actors made this show hilarious.

Good Times used to be on Netflix.

Good show.
Does anyone think about trying to make the cast of good times or any show in sims 4
JJ’s still alive and doing insurance commercials :)
At least, he's still making money.
Thelma thelma thelma "hilarious" What a great show. He reminds me of guys who think they are so cool you got to fall for them. Boy did he play the part of a wanna be your man kind of dude but always got blown away regardless, no matter how cool he and do the cool. Good times 4ever
I loved this program!!
Lol sater. Like the square lol. Y'all never quit.

Why would JJ have a shower cap on??? He hardly has any hair.. and that little bit of fuzz would dry in 5 min 😂
the snoop, Jamie Fox interview brought me here
If JJ drank tomato juice he could be a thermometer 🌡️
Say what you want about him. No JJ, no GOODTIMES
Yes JJ took over the show - good or bad - but how can you not elevate his role with those audience reactions?
Funny to think that the guy who played the father was only 8 years older than the guy who played the son

I don’t remember him being this skinny lookin

back in the day there was no one skinnier
Surely there was a proper full blown Dy-No-Mite in there ??
