read the link thats on the thread

I just came across this board today and I've enjoyed looking at all of the postings so far. I liked GT during its original run as well as in its reruns on TBS (if I remember the station correctly) several years ago. I'm one that didn't leave my house on Saturday. Stayed glued to the marathon. During the night and into Sunday, the VCR was rolling. The marathon also triggered an interest in doing web searches (which led me to this site) and I even found the E! Special about GT that I taped about 4-5 years ago and have watched that.

So...I appreciate this site and all of the postings.

The Buzz Log - Search Spikes and Trends

Good Times Marathon Sparks Searches

Good Times
What you do with your weekend is up to you. You can fish, shop, exercise, or, as many of you apparently did this past weekend, sit slack-jawed on the couch and watch 48 straight hours of Good Times (+94%). Looking over the search data, we were a bit surprised (OK, shocked) at the intense level of interest in the '70s sitcom following its TV Land (+26%) marathon. Were these searches a testament to the show's lasting appeal, or was this a case of too much "dyn-o-mite" breaking down viewer resistance?

The Buzz numbers for "Good Times lyrics" (+73%) and "Good Times TV show" (+115%) were respectable, but searches on the show's cast members (+138%) were better than good. And while Jimmie Walker may have been the breakout star, BernNadette Stanis (+137%), who played the alluring Thelma, attracted more than triple the searches as her costar. John Amos (+17%) and Esther Rolle (+77%), as the oft-exasperated authority figures, commanded some respect in Buzz as did the show's striving son, played by Ralph Carter (+209%). Searches on co-star Janet Jackson actually fell during the course of the marathon. One possible explanation: Viewers didn't recognize the future diva pre-plastic. Good times, indeed.

Anyway, I'm glad the marathon did well.

Confirmed! Ratings were off the roof!


AIN’T WE LUCKY WE GOT EM…

GOOD TIMES!!!”

NEARLY 1.6 MILLION VIEWERS TUNE IN TO

TV LAND’S 48-HOUR MARATHON BEGINNING JULY 23

Santa Monica, CA, July 26, 2005 – The launch of the ground-breaking comedy Good Times on TV Land scored spectacular ratings, attracting an average of almost 1.6 million total viewers for the network’s 48-hour marathon beginning Saturday, July 23 at 6 a.m. (ET/PT). The marathon showcase, which pre-empted TV Land’s regularly-scheduled programming, scored triple-digit increases in demo rating and delivery and total viewers. The marathon also made TV Land the Number Two network in all of basic cable among Adult 25-54 viewers, the network’s core audience, during the 48-hour showcase.

Launching on Saturday, July 23 at 6 a.m., Good Times averaged a 1.0/936,000, up a whopping +233% in rating and an incredible +282% in delivery among its core A25-54 demo over last year. Among persons 2+, TV Land drew +219% more viewers than last year, averaging 1.6 million persons 2+. Saturday’s 10:30p.m. airing was TV Land’s most watched telecast ever among A25-54 viewers (1.5 million), while the Sunday 8:30p.m. airing was TVL's most watched telecast ever among total viewers, delivering an average of 2.4 million total viewers. Good Times’ airings on Sunday also led to TV Land’s most-watched night in prime time ever among A25-54 and total viewers (1.2 million/2.3 million, respectively).

“It is a testament to the power of classic TV that Good Times remains such a huge hit and is being embraced by our viewers after all these years,” states Larry W. Jones, President, TV Land and Nick at Nite. “These huge numbers are further proof to its popularity as we welcome a whole new audience to the show, making it one of the most memorable comedies of all time.”

TV Land was also the Number Two basic cable network among Women 25-54 and Women 18-49. Among Adults 18-49, the network ranked #3 among all basic cable nets.

Developed by Norman Lear, the series -- which premiered on CBS in 1974 -- was set in the projects on the South Side of Chicago and follows the lives of the Evans family as they tackle such hardships as financial problems and discrimination. Florida Evans (Esther Rolle) is the quick witted matriarch of the household, while her loving husband, James (John Amos) is the breadwinner and proud father. Together, their successful parenting skills instill value, pride and morality in their three children who are often bickering. J.J., the eldest son, is an aspiring artist who became an instant hit with his catchphrase “Dyn-O-Mite.” Thelma, the teenage daughter grapples with school, dating and her two overly protective brothers while the youngest, Michael (Ralph Evans), delves into politics and education to become the family’s scholastic success. Willona Woods (Ja’net DuBois), family friend and next door neighbor, appears frequently in the Evans household and is always adding her wisdom and sarcasm.
