1. i remember. what's the point?

2. I loved Good Times; caught it again on Antenna TV

Florida is my all-time favorite TV mom

the dad was always yelling because of the struggles of trying to raise a family while battling racism and dismal economic times

3. I loved the episode where Florida wanted to get a job and

her husband didn't want her to because he said black women had to work too hard when there were no jobs for black men, and he didn't want her to have to since his generation had good jobs. That was the 1970s. How times have changed for us all.

5. oh the hubby displayed his sexism on a regular basis

but he redeemed himself by staying in love with the eternally strong Florida

The most interesting of those '70's sitcoms.

8. Or you binge watch until his character dies

He was much quieter once he expired.

9. That was the ever fabulous John Amos.

He ultimately quit the show because it had become too silly and focused on the foolish "dyn-o-MIIIIIITE" nonsense. And he was right. It was still good after he left, but it lost something when he did. Some of it's bite. Some of it's reality. Some of it's heart.
