Why didn't the Judy Cohen story make sense? Was it because it focused on a White Woman? I'm not understanding why you said it didn;t make sense

Good Times DID NOT come from All In The Family. The only common thing the two shows had was that it was produced by Norman Lear.

Also, your post is jumbled together with all kinds of subjects, I don't know where it ends and where it begins...

The episode was offensive because we had to actually listen to Judy Cohen sing! lol

I don't remember any controversy involving Good Times during the 1970's other than the gripes among the actors. People get offended to much anymore. I think it would be difficult for AITF to get made today.

When the show first started there was a lot of controversy because Florida was a Housewife in the Projects-lol Info came from 1974 Jet Mag

I don't think there would be any controversy today. Probably just from Bill Cosby opening that big mouth of his complaining as usual.

After all the UPN sitcoms that came out, nobody should criticize anything on Good Times.

Exactly! If that skank and piece of trash singer EVE can have a show of her own, then anyone can.

Actually, Good Times was a spin-off from Maude, which was a spin-off from All in the Family, so Good Times did come from All In The Family. Florida was Maude's maid on the show Maude, and Maude was Edith's cousin on All In The Family.
