This is never goind to end. SOLOMON, I must admit, you are the most popular one on the board right now. LOL . You do bring up things that make people think. Don't forget to vote sometime this week for the character that you want to see gone from the island in the "Good Times" survivor game.

Wasn't James' father on Good Times named Henry?

Like ThomasE said, Good Times was an idea created by Eric Monte. I'm sure that the names of his characters were different. CBS wanted to give Esther Rolle her own show, so they decided to combine the the two. Hence, Florida now lives in Chicago instead of New York. There were no intentions of creating two Florida Evans characters. Florida is Florida from Maude...THE END!

Hey Sitcom, maybe the producer got mad because he didn't get his bonus or someone cheated him out of rights. With flame in his eyes, he reported to the magazine (the September 1975 issue of Ebony) that Good Times was not a spin-off to get back at the culprits.
