Dies und das:

Penny's real first name was Millicent. The name "Penny" derived from the word "cent" in her name.

Pannen:

Abfolgefehler: At various points through the entire series, especially the first three seasons, references are made to the Evans family's early days in their apartment raising JJ and Thelma and giving birth to Michael. If this is true, Florida must have been commuting from Chicago to Tuckahoe, NY to work for Maude Findlay.

Dialogzitate:

Thelma: Hey, that's weird. It's gone. Now I know that cake was in here this morning.

Good Times

Wonderful!!

This is one of my all time favorite shows. This show, to me reflected on the good side of poverty. Although the Evans family was poor and lived in the projects, they had each other. No matter how much the family suffered financially, they never turned to crime or other illegal actions to make ends meet. Throughout those times, many African American families consisted of a single mom with numerous kids. The Evans family had both parents providing stabilty and shelter for them. This show was excellent. However, there was one little pesky problem that always seemed to bother me. It seemed as if every other season, fiesty neighbor and friend Willona, always received the same promotion on her job. Everytime Willona came in with"great news", she would informed them that she was just made the "head buyer" for the boutique. Interesting...
