GOOD TIMES was that rare hit show which was a spin-off of the spin-off (TV's "All in the Family" begat "Maude," which in turn spawned GOOD TIMES on CBS). Airing for five highly-rated seasons (1974-1979), GOOD TIMES altered America's cultural landscape by tackling topical, often controversial issues from a uniquely African-American perspective, while delivering heart-warming laughs. Focusing on a poor but proud family in the Chicago projects, the Evans clan - headed by James (John Amos) and sharp-tongued mother Florida (Esther Rolle) - struggled against adversity while keeping their heads held high, striking a chord with audiences of all colors. The traiblazing show also made a star of jive-talkin' comedian Jimmy Walker whose catchphrase "DYN-O-MITE!" became part of '70s pop culture.
 


Editor's Note

Good Times, which ran on CBS-TV from 1974-1979, was a spin-off of the All In the Family spin-off, Maude. The series details the trials and tribulations of Florida Evans (who previously had worked as Maude's maid) and her family on the south side of Chicago. Florida (Esther Rolle) and her husband James (John Amos) are lower-middle class African-Americans living in a high rise housing project with their three children--wisecracking J.J. (Jimmy Walker, whose "Dy-No-Mite" became a national catchphrase), Thelma (Ja'Net DuBois), and Michael (Ralph Carter). James has trouble finding steady work, but through it all, the family sticks together. Veering between comedy and drama, Good Times was a landmark in U.S. television. This collection includes all 13 episodes from the first season.
