Why the **** would there be more eps of Good times than any of his shows???? And to make it worst 4 of the episodes of Good Times being shown is the 4 parter about Penny

Antenna TV could have done without this sh**** marathon

3pm-All in the Family
3:30pm-All in the Family
4pm-Maude
4:30pm-Maude
5pm-Good Times
5:30pm-Good Times
6pm-Good Times
6:30pm-Good Times
7pm-One Day at a Time
7:30pm-One Day at a Time
8pm-Good Times
8:30pm-The Jeffersons
9pm-Maude
9:30pm=All in the Family

These are Lear's personal favorite episodes.

I know which is why the marathon is A$$

It also seems strange there are no Sanford and Son episodes and only one Jeffersons episode, yet 6 Good Times episode. I already quit watching this channel long ago because of credit crunching but it seems their programming decisions are just as dumb and give me even more reason not to watch it.

a SH*THON is more accurate

It's only 5 GT episode. And it's because of the documentary coming out about Norman Lear

tlc38tlc38 · 07-02-2016, 05:37 PM

I do agree with Lear about one of the episodes. The episode of Maude, "Maude Bares Her Soul" is my favorite of the series.

I only plan to watch the first episode of All in the Family at 3pm, 8:30pm episode of the Jeffersons and the 9pm episode of Maude

^Sounds like a plan to me.

I can't get the channel so I'm watching several episodes of Maude and All in the Family from my DVD collection.

It needs more One Day at a Time. Then we're really talking about good times.

Yeah! That one with Robbie Benson where Ann was flirting and dancing with Julie's date was really good!

There are several eps. that I thought were better than the ones Norman Lear likes best! I wonder what his reason for being partial to that 2 parter when Ed ,the Father returns?

And it's not the ones where Ed gets drunk either. They were better than the ones Mr. Lear likes!

I'd rather him choose the Melanie suicide one, or the Cliff becomes a father one. Those were in my Top 5 ODAAT episodes. But the Hustle one is good too.

Yes those were good ones!

Julie's wedding, Miracle of birth,Dear Max and Nearness of you would have been good choices too!
