I just recently became a big fan of Good Times when TVLand started to air it, and I know they had an E! True Hollywood story made about it in the 90's. I heard that there was a lot of fighting and bickering on set, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what the Hollywood Story highlighted, or what some of the problems were on set. I rememer watching a preview for it once, and an interviewer said that things got really intense on the set.

Not to discourage you from watching the E! Hollywood true story, but you won't like it. It only lasted an hour and they didn't talk about the show enough. Not enough details or anything.

Thanks GarfieldKool! :) Is there anything more thorough about the show's history and the behind the scenes?
