This is the most memorable TV series that I saw in my youth and it left a strong impression on me. This series is not only entertaining but instructive at the same time. You get to learn a lot about the hardships of life.
The series shows the day-to-day life of the Evans family. The family is headed by James Evans, Sr (John Amos), who lacks a good eduction and so struggles to find jobs to support his family. His excellent wife Florida Evans (Esther Rolle) looks after James three children: James 'J.J.' Evans, Jr. (Jimmie Walker), Thelma Evans (BernNadette Stanis) and Michael Evans (Ralph Carter).
Florida is a pillar of support to her husband and raises him up when he is down. His children also boost his morale whenever they can. This series shows how a lack of a decent higher education can affect your earning in U.S.A.
The only dream if James is to ensure that "J.J" who has a talented artistic ability, joins Art School, Thelma his daughter becomes a teacher, nurse or doctor and Michael definitely becomes a distinguished lawyer.
Make no doubt about it despite the grim situation Good Times is actually jam-packed with comedy that will bring the tears to your eyes. This is the only series that balances comedy and seriousness.
You also learn a lot from this series: never to give up on life, always be truthful and honest and never steal from someone, always help someone in need, not to let anger get the better of you, keep an eye on your children's education and their activities, giving good advice to your children and always show affection for one another.
In the end every cloud has a silver lining and things turn out well for the Evans Family.
I suggest you buy the entire series on DVD and it will provide you with years of joy and your whole family will really appreciate it.
