Summary: Great family fun
Review: I watch this DVD with my nine year old son. He enjoys it very much. My wife and I are having fun watching the shows with him and reliving our youth. It is also fun to watch from a historical perspective. Although the show is stereotypical and does not portray African Americans in a very positive light, the show is very funny. When looking at it as just a television show, it provides wonderful entertainment for the entire family. It is worth the price.

Summary: Shut up J.J.!!!
Review: James, Florida, J.J, Thelma, Michael, & Willona are back! Finally the second season of Good Times is here, following the first season release by at least a year!! Well, it was worth the wait and more because Season 2 includes almost double the episodes of the first season and the packaging is a colorful and fun double-fold case featuring great photos of the entire cast! What's better is the set can be purchased at a very reasonable price. The second season of Good Times ran from Sept. '74 to March '75 and consists of the 24 episodes included here uncut and commercial free! The only extra features are trailers for similar sitcoms and the blessed "play all episodes" feature! Hey, having Good Times on DVD in season form is special enough! It is, pardon me, Dynomite! Here's the episodes included:Disc 1:
01. Florida flips
02. Crosstown buses run all day, doodah, doodah
03. J.J. becomes a man, part 1(J.J. is arrested, part 1)
04. The man I most admire
05. J.J. becomes a man, part 2(J.J. is arrested, part 2)
06. The encyclopedia hustle
07. The I.Q. test
08. Thelma's young man
Disc 2:
09. Florida, the matchmaker
10. The windfall
11. The gang, part 1
12. The gang, part 2
13. Sometimes there's no bottom in the bottle
14. Florida's big gig
15. Florida goes to school
16. The nude
Disc 3:
17. The family business
18. The debutante ball
19. The dinner party
20. The houseguest
21. My girl, Henrietta
22. The enlistment
23. Thelma's scholarship
24. The lunch money rip-off Trivia: *When Good Times started (1974), J.J and Thelma, who were supposed to be in high school, were in real life, 27 and 21 respectively! Michael was actually 13. *Esther Rolle and John Amos were actually 19 years apart. Esther was 54 and John was 35. *John Amos (James Evans) left the show after the 3rd season. He was written off the show as having died in a car accident while in Mississippi where he found a good job. The character of Carl Dixon (Moses Gunn) that is introduced in late season 4, proposes to Florida and she accepts. *Esther Rolle left Good Times during season 5 because of unhappiness with the show's direction and of the J.J. character. She was written out of the season as being away on her honeymoon with Carl. She returned as Florida, the rock of the Evans family, for season 6, which was the final season. Esther Rolle (1920-1998)
Moses Gunn (1929-1993) Also highly recommended on DVD: Good Times (Season 1)
All in the Family (Seasons 1 & 2, 3 coming soon!)

Summary: Everyone's favorite Junior Black Panther
Review: Oh Michael, you crazy kid. Black this, black that, black power left, black power right. This kid was so in tune with black issues, I bet people used to watch this show just for the news. Of course we have a woman named Florida who gave birth to this little militant. She's a God fearing woman who does not in any way shape or form condone Black Jesus (It's Willy the Wino!!) The best feature of this show was of course the daughter. She was a funky fresh mama that was fit to be tied. She had a wild, scraggily fro and a pair of breasts that just said 'BAMM!!' I like to watch her run out of the bedroom in her tight ghetto sweaters. Good Times! Any time you make a payment!

Summary: The Lord is My German Sheperd......
Review: Ok, If you're a fan, you'll remember this as the comic grace that JJ said as they had dinner with a guest who was so poor she ate dog food. The second season of GT (1974-75) was a good combination of biting commentary of the realities of ghetto life with an amazing sense of humor. The Gang Episode (where JJ gets shot-don't worry, he lived) is not to be confused with the post-John Amos episode where Michael joins a gang. One episode features a very young Debbie Allen as JJ's girlfriend who turns out to be a dope addict. Overall, the show did a good job in waking America up to what was happening across the tracks, but after this season, John Amos would leave and aside from a few really special episodes, it would lack punch and descend into cornball insult humor (particularly when Johnny Brown joined the cast as "Bookman.") But that was still in the future at this point. Take a trip back to a VERY REALISTIC look at an aspect of African-Ameircan life thirty years ago. Aside from rap music and cell phones, not much has changed.

Summary: Nothing like Thelma's Oatmeal!
Review: Thank goodness....they FINALLY put out Good Times S. 2! It only took a year!!! This show has become one of the 1970s classic hits...and with good reason! It conveys the plight of the poor in a light, airy manner....coping with hard issues by using a smile and a laugh. Even though it may seem dated at times, the things that Good Times addresses are still somewhat prevalent today...and of course...that's why it is considered a classic. In this new season, the characters are more defined...and the actors seem more at ease with their roles. Of course, the highlights are Michael "the militant midget" and JJ. So, go ahead, get yourself some Good Times while you can! I sure hope the third season will come a little quicker though!!
