The Jeffersons or Good Times? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

This is tough but what decided my pick was that the father of Good Times was only on 3 seasons. So since that's the case, i have to give the edge to the Jeffersons.

The Jeffersons, I never found Good Times funny or entertaining.

You didn't find the father on Good Times funny at all?

The Jeffersons... it was a higher quality show.

Well, to be honest I've only seen two episodes. Maybe I'll give it another shot but from what I've watched it just wasn't my kind of show.

I prefer The Jeffersons.

To tell you the truth, John Amos was the only thing about Good Times that I liked.

I'll take The Jeffersons over Maude's spin-off anytime.

Mr. Television · 11-04-2003, 12:22 AM

I like them both but The Jeffersons stayed better longer.

Lady T · 11-04-2003, 12:32 AM

Liked them both, but would have to pick Good Times. The Jeffersons was a funny show but I feel an affinity to GT's realism in that they dealt with child abuse, gang violence, a death in the family, rent parties, etc. I don't have the Jeffersons dvd season sets yet, but I had to have the Good Times first season dvd the day it came out.

Out of the two spin-offs, I'll choose The Jeffersons. I grew up watching George and Weezie every morning. I watched Good Times for a while, but it wasn't interesting enough to keep me watching. Georgie and Weezie forever.
