I just received the article from Solomon and I've come to the conclusion...

@ Stuck: Very clever! LOL.

@ Solomon: Yes, it was. I can't lie. LOL. BTW, my cable is coming back on Tuesday. Yay!

Bump.

It’s about 20 years later and we’re still debating whether or not Good Times is a spinoff. We should all come to the conclusion that it is indeed a spinoff.

Case dismissed.

Nope, I'm sticking with Sol and the few here who say Good Times was NOT a spin off of Maude.

Well I’m sticking with myself and the 85% of people here who say that Good Times IS a spinoff of Maude.

OK, I know we're in the minority.

Well, just sayin’, not all the time, but usually, when most of the people agree on something and there’s only a small amount of people who disagree, doesn’t that say something?

It does say something, but still, I'm sticking with Sol and the other few. No matter what, I still loved GT until John Amos left.

Yes, going off topic from this “debate” for a second, but you can obviously see a steep decline in the show with his absence and it just gets worse as they try to fill the void but it just didn’t work.

In my opinion, John Amos was the best actor on the show. It just wasn't Good Times without him. The lame attempt to replace him with Carl was stupid but once they did it, they should not have acted like he never existed when Florida came back from AZ. They should have explained Carl's absence instead of trying to rewrite history. He sucked but he did exist. I thought it was very insulting to the viewers to pretend he never married Florida.

I think I heard on an unedited CBS episode of Good Times it was implied that Carl had died. I liked Carl but yeah, he wasn’t anything like James.
