The Jeffersons and Good Times were classics, which is the main reason they've been so successful in syndication. And I think there probably is some truth in Monte getting black balled in the industry. But there's always a someone with a story about how they tried to get what was rightfully theirs and everybody hates them for it...

I love Good Times. I think my favorite episodes where the ones with Penny (Janet Jackson) and her mother ( Chip Fields, Kim Fields' mom in real life) when Penny was burned with the iron, the famous "damn, damn, damn" episode ending the James Evans, Sr. character, the one when J.J. was invited to a debutante ball and his date's parents didn't want J.J. to see her because he was from the ghetto and James, Sr. let them have it. I also love the first episode when Florida is at the table upset about the possibility of being evicted and she uses the word "boy" and Michael pipes in saying "boy is a white racist word" and Florida replies, "Michael this ain't no time to be Black." Good Times has had some pretty famous people on that show. As the show moved on, I could see why Esther Rolle wanted to leave the show because the J.J character did become the buffoon character of the show. You could hardly catch him in a serious moment.

I think the fourth season but that's when it turned corney when John Amos left the show went downhill. Janet  although she was cute couldn't save it it  GoodTimes "Hit the SHark"

I loved watching Good times, and can't understand why there are other shows that are still on TV , how come goodtimes is not.  There  are dvd's that people can purchase and the shows are still running on television. HOW COME GOOD TIMES IS NOT BACK ON TELEVISION?

I enjoyed this episode best also. I wish we had more shows that showed family unity like this one did. Thoses were the days of innocence.

I'd like to see a reunion type show, with everyone all grown-up, with kids and careers. Don't we all wanna know if they EVER made it out of the projects?

Well, it didn't show them grown up but the last episode, Keith (Thelma's husband) had been working out his injured leg and was trying out for the football team again, I believe J.J. was an art executive, Michael was going to live on campus at college, Willona was moving into a better neighborhood which happened to be the same building where Keith and Thelma were moving to and Florida was asked to move in with them because Thelma was pregnant.
