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.

NO, but thank you for clearing that up for me, it makes sense, you know a lot more about the shows mentioned than I do

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!!!

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

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