"Good Times had a truly tremendous impact on our culture and has
remained a beloved show," states Larry W. Jones, President, TV Land and
Nick at Nite. "It drew attention to controversial issues from an African
American perspective, yet at the same time delivered comic relief."
The series, which premiered on CBS on February 1, 1974, was set in the
projects on the South Side of Chicago and follows the lives of the Evans
family as they tackle such hardships as financial problems and
discrimination. Florida Evans (Esther Rolle) is the quick witted
matriarch of the household, while her loving husband, James (John Amos)
is the breadwinner and proud father. Together, their successful
parenting skills instill value, pride and morality in their three
children who are often bickering. J.J., the eldest son, is an aspiring
artist who became an instant hit with his catchphrase "Dyn-O-Mite."
Thelma, the teenage daughter grapples with school, dating and her two
overly protective brothers while the youngest, Michael (Ralph Evans),
delves into politics and education to become the family's scholastic
success. Willona Woods (Ja'net DuBois), family friend and next door
neighbor, appears frequently in the Evans household and is always adding
her wisdom and sarcasm.
