it was setup where Florida, Keith, and Thelma would be living upstairs from Penny and Willona. So that means viewers would never get to see Florida and Willona living the good life or whether Thelma had a boy or girl It also means that the Good had a 7th and 8th season that we never got to see LOL

Why not just have everyone go their separate ways? So fans of good times will always be wondering

Did thelma have a boy or girl?

How did Keith and Thelma place look

How Willona and Penny place look?




This episode ended like there was going to be a 7th season

It wrapped everything up too clean.
Keith got back into the NFL, Micheal went to live on campus, JJ gets a comic book deal...ect

All of these good thing happening at the same time was insane.
I bet James came from the dead and Florida won the lottery the next day....lol :crazy:

I was laughing at how reacted to $60,000 a year LOL

It makes no sense that everyone got a happy ending on the same day. :rolleyes:

Like AfterMASH or Archie Bunker's Place.

Might have been some trick used by the producers and/or writers (or whomever) in case there is some kind of contract change, or some kind of cast re-negotiations , or Nielsen-ratings change and this way they can think up a way to pick up the plot where it left off.

Probably was since they had the Evans and Willona in the same building:lol:

At least they did make an attempt to wrap it up, to end it.

That's better than so many series get.

Perhaps there was some hope of another network picking the show up?

I was disappointed in the final episode of "Good Times" (entitled "The End Of The Rainbow")...it should've been either an hour-long episode or a two- (or even three-) parter. Everything seemed rushed (and abrupt) in the space of twenty-five minutes (edited down to twenty-two minutes when aired in syndication), from Keith and Thelma expecting their first child to J.J. selling his "Dyn-O-Woman" character to a major comic book company...the episode just didn't connect with me.

In my opinion, the series should've ended with Thelma in labor and Keith, Michael, and J.J. assisting in the delivery of the baby. A subplot would've featured the return of Willona's on-again, off-again beau Frank Mason (Adam Wade) proposing to Willona, with Willona finally accepting Mason's hand in marriage. A second subplot would've involved Grandpa Evans and his wife, Lena, returning for a visit. I also would've loved to see bumbling building superintendent Nathan Bookman and his wife, Violet, make amends with the Evans clan. Now THAT'S a series finale!

I would've loved to have seen Willona in a spinoff.

I agree.

Good theory, Will...but I seriously doubt that "Good Times" would've been revived by ABC or NBC. The series had run its course by then.

Someone who is 14 right now just discovering this show will be confused it';s no carryover from season 6 because

Thelma was pregnant

The Evans and Willona leased a place in a new building


SO when they see TV one go back to season 1 I can see a 13 or 14 year old saying.........."I thought they got out the ghetto?":lol:

I wonder what type of building would this "743 Baker" be?

I believe it was a Condo

Interestingly, the largest housing projects here in Columbus, GA back in the 1970s was Baker Village, near Baker High and Fort Benning, Ga, most famous as the school Newt Gingritch graduated from.

Maybe the Evans family moved back down south?
