Good Times - 'Complete Series' Re-Release is Now Official; Package Art Revealed!

The Good Times are back! Relive the '70s sitcom smash from producer Norman Lear and executive producer Bud Yorkin. A spin-off of Maude, which was itself a spin-off of All In The Family, Good Times first aired in February 1974 and viewers of all races and ages instantly connected with the Evans family. Produced by Normal Lear who also produced All in the Family and The Jeffersons. Starring: Esther Rolle (Driving Miss Daisy), Jimmie Walker (Airplane!), John Amos, Ja'net DuBois, Ralph Carter, BernNadette Stanis, Janet Jackson and more

Money was scarce, but laughs and love were abundant for Florida (Esther Rolle), her hard-working husband James (John Amos), and their three kids living in the projects of South Side Chicago. From the outrageous antics of budding artist J.J., to the romantic dramas of sister Thelma and pint-sized Michael's activist causes, these parents have their hands full. Adding to the fun was next-door neighbor, sassy divorcee Willona, who would later in the series adopt a young daughter, Penny, played by superstar Janet Jackson! Tackling topical, sometimes even controversial, subject matter with wit and sensitivity, Good Times was a breakthrough series in many ways.
