August 1st, 1979 - CBS aired the last episode of "Good Times."

This final episode brings all too good news for the Evans family. J.J. gets an offer to a comic company, Keith's bad knee is miraculously healed and is offered another football contract, and Florida is asked if she wants to move in with Keith and Thelma in the fancy apartment building across town where Willona happens to be moving and she just so happens to be her future next door neighbor. Meanwhile Thelma learns she is pregnant and she reveals it to Keith and the family.

I hope that somewhere in the land of TV, all the GT characters are still happy and thriving. :D

As series finales go, I love it. and it was the rare series finale for a Norman Lear show-- neither Archie nor The Jeffersons got such a send off.

It would've been nice if they'd had a reunion movie later to show what the Evans/Anderson/Woods families were up to. You know, how they made the adjustment from poverty to wealth, how Thelma and Keith were adjusting to parenthood, how JJ's new comic strip was doing, and if Michael was able to become a successful lawyer and still had his sets high on becoming part of the Supreme Court.

I think a real cool twist would have been Bookman winning the lottery or something and buying the building the families lived in. It would've been awesome to see him being their landlord - he would've been an even bigger pain than he was as a janitor!! :eek: :crazy: :lol:
