Good Times is the CBS sitcom which was based on creator Eric Monte's childhood, following the lives of Florida (Esther Rolle) and James Evans (John Amos), who live in the infamous Cabrini-Green projects with their children J.J. (Jimmie Walker), Thelma (Bern Nadette Stanis) and Michael (Ralph Carter), along with their neighbor Willona Woods. Florida and her family struggle in the ghetto of Chicago, and the show follows the challenges and joys of the Evans family. The show dealt with many controversial topics with humor and dignity, and the Evans family showed how values and morality can exist even in the projects, and James was a role model as the first strong black father figure in prime-time. The show did receive some flak for J.J., who was often shown to be a bad student, woman-chasing, immoral character with the catchphrase "Dyn-o-mite", and some critics disliked his clownish behavior. When James passes away, Florida is left to take care of the kids alone, and she later married and moved to Arizona, leaving the kids with Willona. Join the Evans family as they try to make the best out of everything, trying their best to get by and enjoy the Good Times.MORE
