Not exactly. "Maude" was a spin off of "Mr. Ed" and "Good Times" was a spin off from "Maude". :lol:

Mike Evans (from The Jeffersons, All in the Family) is credited with creating Good Times, but I have another theory.

Mike Evans was also in Rich Man, Poor Man along with actor Dennis Dugan who was in She's Having a Baby with the real creator of Good Times,

Kevin Bacon.

Didn't Kevin Bacon ride Mr. Ed off into the sunset as Thelma waved? I think I remember that happening on an episode of "Good Times".

However, everyone knows that in the English language, two negatives make a positive. So when you say, "Good times is not a spinoff of nothing", you're really saying, "Good Times is a spin-off of something."

No it was explained that Good Times was in no way connected to Maude. It was two different situations. On Maude, Florida's husband got a promotion at the Fire house and Florida didn't have to work. On Good Times, Florida was poor and also living in Chicago. Make Sense? All of this was explained in a 1975 Ebony Magazine. If you want a copy let me know.

Don't let him poison your mind foxyhonky1975, Good Times WAS a spinoff of Maude. They changed some scenarios, but Maude was a way to introduce the Florida Evans character.

So then, is "Good Times" a spin off of "Green Acres"? Both shows start with G, have two words in the title, and were on CBS for six seasons. Help me, I'm so confused!!! :confused:

Yeah Fred Sanford was Married to Lisa Douglas for a very short time during the war, and the pig is actually Lamont father, not Fred:lol:

Right, Florida Evans was just a maid on Maude and a former maid on Good Times... There's no connection.
