I found out in the 1974 issue of Ebony Magazine that Good Times is not a spinoff - Page 6 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I thought everyone knew about that deleted line in the Good Times theme song. You see, in the 70's they were just starting to tackle controversial topics like abortion, racism, V.D., feminism, homosexuality, etc. However, the debate over whether Good Times was a spin-off or not was a little too controversial even for then. So, they decided to play it safe and remove that controversial line, les they offend any viewers.

Did you watch Good Times during it's original run? If yes, were you over 17?

Wow, this one interesting thread. We have alot of people agreeing on a logical point while ONE person (or SO) agrees on a another point (which is somewhat shaky btw).
After reading this, I have to say that GOOD TIMES IS A SPIN-OFF NO MATTER HOW YOU PICTURE IT . . . . and that Solomon (aka sitcom ANALyzer) clearly doesn't have his facts straight nor the right information. Yes, he does have some good points on this subject BUT they don't outwiegh the ones that are LOGICAL.

SOLOMON, IT IS CLEAR AS A NOSE ON YOUR FACE: GOOD TIMES IS A SPIN-OFF AND THERE SHOULD BE NO FURTHER ARGUEMENTS ABOUT THAT.
