View Full Version : GT vs. the Cosby Show/Jeffersons el705 10-13-2012, 12:36 PM GT was a show about a very poor (money-wise) family where The Jeffersons and the Cosby Show showed a completely opposite dynamic. Why do you think they wrote GT this way? Was it more realistic than the Cosby Show or Jeffersons?

Why do you think they wrote GT this way? Was it more realistic than the Cosby Show or Jeffersons? Good Times was based on the life of Eric Monte in the city of Chicago during the 1960's and yes it was more realistic than the Cosby Show and the Jeffersons in 1974 Not so much in 2012 Brieannas21 10-13-2012, 09:33 PM Good Times was based on the life of Eric Monte in the city of Chicago during the 1960's and yes it was more realistic than the Cosby Show and the Jeffersons in 1974 Not so much in 2012 How was GT more realistic? I think that The Cosby Show was more realistic. TVFactFan 10-13-2012, 11:43 PM How was GT more realistic? I think that The Cosby Show was more realistic. It was more realistic than the Cosby Show in 1974. Brieannas21 10-13-2012, 11:53 PM It was more realistic than the Cosby Show in 1974. I will have to disagree with you. But that isn't anything new. TVFactFan 10-13-2012, 11:58 PM I will have to disagree with you. But that isn't anything new. Remember I said in 1974, not in 2012 Brieannas21 10-14-2012, 12:03 AM Remember I said in 1974, not in 2012 Yes, I know. What does the year have to do with anything? TVFactFan 10-14-2012, 12:06 AM Yes, I know. What does the year have to do with anything? Because at that time most blacks could not relate to the lifestyle of the Huxtables. Brieannas21 10-14-2012, 12:13 AM Because at that time most blacks could not relate to the lifestyle of the Huxtables. How do you know? There are a lot of black people did not grow up poor. There are a lot of black people who grew up in a middle class household. To say that most black people cannot relate to the Huxtables is not true. *ROGER* 10-14-2012, 12:19 AM Because at that time most blacks could not relate to the lifestyle of the Huxtables. I'm black and I found the Huxtable family (Cosby Show) totally unrealistic for that time. Not so much if it was now though. The situation on Good Times was a lot more realistic for the 70s. And The Jeffersons was a hell of a lot more realistic than The Cosby Show, too. George started out poor. |
