Movie Description
GOOD TIMES, which ran on CBS-TV from 1974-79, 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 presents eight fan-favorite episodes: "Big Move - Part 1," "Big Move - Part 2," "J.J. and the Older Woman," "Michael the Warlord," "J.J.'s New Career - Part 1," "J.J.'s New Career - Part 2," "Michael's Great Romance," and "Evans vs. Davis."
