I loved both. George was hilarious. I was glad that there was a minority that was rich. And also, it was a slap in the face to the Archie bunker character who didn't like him.

Archie's Classic statement about George-"He is so racist"

I like Good Times slighty better because to me GT dealt more with prevalent issues. George was the best, but I wasn't that big a fan of the Willises.

They dealt with too many prevalent issues which was the problem with season 3

I'll agree that they went overboard sometimes with "statistics" and stuff like that, but I'll take Willona over Helen Willis any day.

I like Good Times a little more than the Jeffersons, because of Kid, Dyn o Mite.

WHAT?????????????? Helen Willis was down with it. She told George off when he was trying to joke about tom.

Helen: Look man, I am happy with what I got because he is everything you are not"

LOL

Wilona was with it more so than Helen. She told off that Doctor that didn't want to report Penny's bruises as child abuse. She also kept Booger in check
