Good Times - The Complete First Season

Good Times was that rare hit show which was a spin-off of a 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 heartwarming 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 trailblazing show also made a star of jive-talkin´ comedian Jimmie Walker whose catchphrase "Dyn-O-Mite!" became part of ´70s pop culture.
