I was shocked to see all 6 seasons of Good Times is on DVD! The entire series!
COME ON! The Jeffersons was a bigger show so should have more seasons on DVD! |

Because.................... 1. Good Times was a all black show about a poor black family 2. Jeffersons was a show about a wealthy black couple 3. There were not any kids on the Jeffersons and more of an adult show 4. Good Times appealed to kids from 8 to 17 years old. 5. Good Times has had more cable exposure in the past 10 years 6. George was prejudice against poor people and white people That's all I can think of right now-LOL |

If it sold better, than all the seasons would be released already. Good Times is more relate able in this day and age. |

Actually Good Times was always more popular in the black community because people could relate to the show. Most black families couldn't relate to a black family living in a fancy highrise apt. I couldn't even at the age of 13 but I was quickly entertained by the george jefferson character and didn't care if they were rich or not |

Another good point. The issues discussed on Good times are going on today. The Jeffersons rarely dealt with social issues |

Exactly Sol, everybody is dealing with living paycheck to paycheck, not making the rent, unemployment, crime, etc. It's just the times we are living in. It's hard to relate to a self made millionaire living in a penthouse right now. |

But the humor in the Jeffersons was a lot funnier!
