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 24 episodes from the second season!!
