Default The Cosby Show or Good Times??

I figured I would ask because there are cable stations who are having a marathon of both shows at the same time today and wanted to ask which would you look at first??

I chose the Cosby Show because it has more FUN episodes.

Good Times.It's a much better show in my opinion,although when John Amos left the show it went downhill. I have nothing against Bill Cosby but any of the Norman Lear shows are much better than the Cosby show,especially shows like All In The family and Maude.

No contest. I would watch the WORST Good Times episodes before the BEST Cosby show eps...never thought that show was funny at all.
