Question Isn't "Good Times" a spin off of "Mr. Ed"?

This is no more ridiculous than anything else I've read on this board.

Not exactly. "Maude" was a spin off of "Mr. Ed" and "Good Times" was a spin off from "Maude".

Mike Evans (from The Jeffersons, All in the Family) is credited with creating Good Times, but I have another theory.

Mike Evans was also in Rich Man, Poor Man along with actor Dennis Dugan who was in She's Having a Baby with the real creator of Good Times,

Kevin Bacon.

Didn't Kevin Bacon ride Mr. Ed off into the sunset as Thelma waved? I think I remember that happening on an episode of "Good Times".

However, everyone knows that in the English language, two negatives make a positive. So when you say, "Good times is not a spinoff of nothing", you're really saying, "Good Times is a spin-off of something."

You want Good Times to be a spinoff but I'm sorry to tell you it's not.

I thought Good Times was a spin off of Maude or did I miss something?

I know Florida was Maude maid, then she moved to Chicago with her family.

It is a spinoff of Maude. Sitcom ANALyzer has problems.

No it was explained that Good Times was in no way connected to Maude. It was two different situations. On Maude, Florida's husband got a promotion at the Fire house and Florida didn't have to work. On Good Times, Florida was poor and also living in Chicago. Make Sense? All of this was explained in a 1975 Ebony Magazine. If you want a copy let me know.
