Okay Retro, here is my answer to the Maude-good times debate. How abt Good Times being considered a CROSS-OVER? Just like a musical artist crosses over from one genre style of music to another, how abt the characters of Maude crossing-over to another comedy???? Let me know what you think????

No it wasn;'t a crossover. A Crossover is a character of one show appearing on another show as their original character. Good Times was not in existence when Florida was on Maude. Plus Florida was a cast Member of Maude, not a guest.

okay, just thought I'd give it a try!!!!!

It was not a direct spin off of Maude.

The characters were similar and Flo was based on the Maude Character.

Bt their is not a direct link to the two .

Flo Left because "Henry" got a good job and she didn't have to work anymore.living in NY

And Good Times begins with JAMES not having enough money for the rent for his Chicago ghetto apartment.

I know all the above. I am just trying to see what Soloman would think of my definition. I know all abt the Maude spin-off debate. I am just being sarcastic

In the Words of Alan Manings, Executive Producer of Good Times, GT was not a spinoff

He said it "was not really" a spinoff. Big difference.

But would you agree that the article I found with that statement was a GREAT PIECE of Info for me to use to defend my argument?

Really isn't a spinoff means it really isn't a spinoff

Yes, I'll admit it helps your case out tremendously. When you first presented your argument, I thought you were crazy. Years later, I see some validity in it.

You have to read the whole article to see what I mean by that. In the article it stated that in fact GT was a spinoff of Maude. When he said it really wasn't a spinoff, it was said in a way that it was a spinoff, but that it was never intended to be one.
