Was the Waltons someone's favorite show who produced Good Times or wrote for the show? I think the Waltons was mentioned 6 or 7 Times on Good Times and I fins it strange that another would get mentioned so many times.

Wasn't The Waltons a CBS show too? All I can guess is they were trying to promote CBS shows on other CBS shows.

I remember florida saying the thing that seperated them from the Waltons was, that they were MEAN and the Waaltons wasn't

The Evans weren't mean.

That's what Florida said-lol

this is the same topic i brought up in the thread abt Michael and the tag scene regarding "no black families on television".

I would have never watched the Waltons anyway because i'm not a big fan of dramas

I remember Florida saying to Michael, "if we don't pay these bills, we gonna be the Waltons".

Its funny, the odd time I would still watch a show or two. Corny as can be but it was supposed to be "heart warming" I guess.

Set during the depression, a poor family struggled, but were "rich with love" type of thing.

I think both you and Brian are right in your comparisons - like a white version of the Evans', but certainly not in a high crime/tough area of the projects (probably what Florida meant about "being mean") - not so much the family, but the locale.

The waltons were great tv role models..mentioned on several shows including three's company.

I remember when I first discovered Good Times in 1989 and always would say-"who the hell are the Waltons?-lol

And in case anyone cares, notice how BRADY BUNCH is referenced alot in other t.v. shows and movies. When the Brady Bunch is being used as a reference it usually is something like this: "Our family is not the Brady Bunch".
