Last episode of Good Times didn;t make a lot of since because.....

[TVFactFan]

it was setup where Florida, Keith, and Thelma would be living upstairs from Penny and Willona. So that means viewers would never get to see Florida and Willona living the good life or whether Thelma had a boy or girl It also means that the Good had a 7th and 8th season that we never got to see LOL

Why not just have everyone go their separate ways? So fans of good times will always be wondering

Did thelma have a boy or girl?

How did Keith and Thelma place look

How Willona and Penny place look?




This episode ended like there was going to be a 7th season

It wrapped everything up too clean.
Keith got back into the NFL, Micheal went to live on campus, JJ gets a comic book deal...ect

All of these good thing happening at the same time was insane.
I bet James came from the dead and Florida won the lottery the next day....lol

It makes no sense that everyone got a happy ending on the same day.

Just more proof that for all her complaining, Florida really wanted to stay in that ghetto.

Might have been some trick used by the producers and/or writers (or whomever) in case there is some kind of contract change, or some kind of cast re-negotiations , or Nielsen-ratings change and this way they can think up a way to pick up the plot where it left off.

Probably was since they had the Evans and Willona in the same building

At least they did make an attempt to wrap it up, to end it.

That's better than so many series get.

Perhaps there was some hope of another network picking the show up?

I was disappointed in the final episode of "Good Times" (entitled "The End Of The Rainbow")...it should've been either an hour-long episode or a two- (or even three-) parter. Everything seemed rushed (and abrupt) in the space of twenty-five minutes (edited down to twenty-two minutes when aired in syndication), from Keith and Thelma expecting their first child to J.J. selling his "Dyn-O-Woman" character to a major comic book company...the episode just didn't connect with me.

In my opinion, the series should've ended with Thelma in labor and Keith, Michael, and J.J. assisting in the delivery of the baby. A subplot would've featured the return of Willona's on-again, off-again beau Frank Mason (Adam Wade) proposing to Willona, with Willona finally accepting Mason's hand in marriage. A second subplot would've involved Grandpa Evans and his wife, Lena, returning for a visit. I also would've loved to see bumbling building superintendent Nathan Bookman and his wife, Violet, make amends with the Evans clan. Now THAT'S a series finale!

I would've loved to have seen Willona in a spinoff.
