Good Times (Season 4) DVD Review
Nominated for three Golden Globes, Good Times premiered in mid-season 1974 to widespread critical acclaim and audience popularity. A spin-off of the Bea Arthur (of Golden Girls fame) sitcom Maude (1972), Good Times became the fourth of five highly successful sitcoms brought into being during the 1970 s decade by Norman Lear. In addition to Maude, those sitcoms were All In The Family (1971), Sanford & Son (1972), and The Jeffersons (1975). The second of three to focus exclusively on African-American family life, Good Times became a source for groundbreaking social commentary in compliment to its penchant for hilarious family comedy…
The Good Times (Season 4) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the two-part season premiere “The Big Move” in which the entire Evans family is prepared to move to Mississippi where James has landed a high-paying job. Together with Willona, they plan an elaborate going away party. But the party is interrupted by the news of James death in a tragic car accident. As the funeral proceeds, the grief stricken children wonder why Florida has yet cry… Other notable episodes from Season 4 include “Michael s Great Romance” in which Michael falls in love with a girl who has the hots for J.J., and “Florida s Night Out” in which the family is worried about Florida spending so much time alone, that is until Willona takes her out on the town for a night at an exciting night club…
