This was the only season of Good Times when CBS never aired a RERUN. From the start of season 6 to the ending of season 6, every episode aired on CBS was a new episode.

THEY SHOWN BRAND NEW EPISODES DURING THE SUMMER OF 1979

not many shows can say that. It was off for a few months though. I think it would be neat to see a new episode of a show for the whole year. All 52 weeks.

Yup, CBS showed NEW eps during the month of June, July, and August.

was that before or after the last episode of good times

Before the last episode of Good Times

That's because by season 6, the show was already in the tank.

U r saying that's wby CBS didn't show repeats?

Yes, there was no reason to show repeats of the show. It was a goner. All CBS was doing was burning off the episodes because they were already paid for.

I think there were still 4 left unaired. It's funny everyone had high hopes when Esther Rolle returned and it meant nothing-lol

That would make sense, So they were just trying to hurry and get rid of it because it was taking up a time slot LOL.

Season 5 ruined the series.

6-23 616 UNAIRED The Evans' Dilemma

I still thought that a Network would air repeats if a TV show had SAGGING ratings. I thought New eps was aired when there is a LARGE AUDIENCE. Why air new eps if no one was watching?-lol

Because there was probably a commitment to air a certain number. Besides, it was aired in the summer. You know as well as I that there is nothing to watch in the summertime.

I thought that season 4 & 5 killed GT, I think that in season 6 it started to pick back up, but by that time it was too late. IMO

I will have to look for Tv guides from the 1979 so I can find out more about what show GT went up against

Not season 4, the show was still in the top 30 after that season.

I still want to get a TV Guide from (Aug?) 1979 to see if there was any kind of "buildup" for the series finale.

I would still need the TV guide because Good Times was moved to Wednesday Nights when it returned to the CBS schedule from May to August and one of the show on the NBC lineup on Wednesday Nights called Dick Clark's Live Wednesday was cancelled in December of 78.

Irene you forgot the most important link

78-79 season-lol


It posted 76-77, 77-78, and 79-80

Common practice in those days. Hell, ABC burned off unaired season 11 episodes of Happy Days in the summer of 1984...after the series finale aired.

For some reason, I seriously doubt there was any buildup to the finale because it was already DOA.

Here is the link to the other season 1978-79

You're probably right. They probably ran it as just another episode-lol
