I just received the article from Solomon and I've come to the conclusion... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Good Times was and is a spinoff of Maude. The article admits that it is a spinoff. Alan Manning says it Really wasn't a spinoff but admits that the character was taken from Maude and changed. Therefore the character's life was changed, but is still the character from Maude which makes it a spinoff. Thanks Solomon for reassuring my belief.

So what does NOT REALLY Mean?

He didn't say it definitely wasn't a spinoff, he said it's not really a spinoff because they took the Florida Evans character and changed some things about her. However, he did admit it was the same character, therefore it is a spinoff.(however fractured it may be.) The article as a whole says it was a spinoff. If it wasn't a spinoff why did the writer write that? Especially after hearing what Manning said.

Of course, "Good Times" was a spin-off from "Maude". Sitty knows it too. He just likes to present an unpopular viewpoint for the sake of argument.

Brian Damage · 09-30-2003, 09:43 AM

At least I was able to confirm it using the one article that he based his argument on.

I was so glad when you posted this response. I was in suspense when I saw your topic. Way to go.

Sorry I had to do this to you Brian but I need the newer members to see How aggrressive I was in debating that Good times was not a spinoff.-LOL

Brian Damage · 08-29-2005, 11:30 AM

IRENE AND BRIENNA, this is what I have as SOLID PROOF that it wasn't a spinoff. This is my back up, the EP saying it really isn't a spinoff. Nothing Tops a Quote from the Executive Producer
