[XXxxlovinbassxxX]

[JASHERA123]

LOVE THIS! Nothing like being at home on a rainy saturday and a good times marathon is on!

♥

[phillygirl06]

[LucyDela1]

I remember when i use to pay 200. a month i could not afford it, BUT NOW I WISH I COULD PAY THE SAME. I WONDER WAS GOING TO HAPPEN IN 10 YRS IM REALLY SCARED.

[TheGiftOfLove91]

[Super300400500]

On Good Times, James gets killed in a car accident...

[LucyDela1]

@Super300400500 What, when?

[butcrak57]

no you shouldnt

[Sheri451]

They cut out my fravorite part where Thelma says "I Think I'm going to faint!" and JJ and Michael hummed Swing Low Sweet Chariot.

[macavenue1]

Incredible Television

[TitaniumByFire]

.....Of course it was written by bias liberals to gain sympathy from naive white people.

[AgentCarter]

a person cant be "bias"

[TitaniumByFire]

.......At the max all he had to do was cough up 1/4 max of his monthly income for the rent if I'm not mistaking, which would be as low as 250 dollars a month for a person making 12,000 a year. Also, they just don't kick you out that quick out of any type of housing, and even non subsidized housing a person can hold the eviction process up to at least 30 days. The script is full of holes.

[kortick50]

@TitaniumByFire that is true, but he did say that while she was in the hospital the family recieved 2 other notices to fail to pay rent, or as they called it 'eviction notices', this is the standard procedure, 1.) 5 day late notice 2.) notice to evict and 3.) eviction paperwork. so it is accurate. if you pay nothing towards your overdue rent, eviction follows, no matter what color or race u are.

[Sheri451]

@TitaniumByFire I read in a book that white people wrote and produced Good Times. I don't know if it's true or not, I always thought the late Mike Evans and Monte I forget his last name were the creators of Good Times. I never did like the fact that a hard working man like James never got a break. He worked his ass off for nothing.

[LARCARFUMAN01]

@Sheri451 -- black people don't hold a monopoly on working your ass off for nothing!

[TitaniumByFire]

"i aint taking no handouts", uh, the tax payers are paying your lights, gas, water, maintenence(when it is afforded), and paid for the construction......

[TitaniumByFire]

Ooook, being kicked out of public housing.

[JoySoulCrafts1976]

You know sit coms used to have a moral to the story like in Goodtimes and Facts of Life.

[cw51569]

I LOVE GOOD TIMES IT"S STILL MY SHOW

[EDOGGG5555]

Florida demanded James give back that $29,000 he Found..Found not Stole..But Found and turned down $5,000 to do a commercial ,then turned down $10,000 her cousin raymond gave her..but she gets married only 4 months after husband dies..some holy woman

[VideoVixen24]

Florida is the reason they can't get out of the ghetto. Remember when James found that $29,000 and she wouldn't let him keep it? A what about the time her cousin gave her that $10,000 and she gave it back? See?

[slikerlilanee9b]

@acm3575

ROFL!!!!

and your the dummy who thought Avatar was about pickles... get it for FREE here: playfreemoviesnow , com

[blackstarr4u]

Thats fucked up Florida praying to white Jesus for the rent money.

[TitaniumByFire]

@blackstarr4u Thank you for at least being an honest racist hypocrite. I just wish the rest of you canaanites would show these brainwashed white libtards the same honesty.

[blackstarr4u]

@TitaniumByFire. I am far from being racist but you spend your time critically analyzing this show means you must be a racist conservative. And it is phucked up for a black person to be praying to a white representation of God given the history of conservative racist white people's quest to maintain the status quo from slavery freedom and up to the modern civil rights movement.

[asannancy]

One of the best shows ever! I'm ready to bust out the pot and heat up the oatmeal right now!

[Tisaythe1]

yeah i know what you mean.. my kids and I still watch this show on TV Land my 2 year old loves it..so funny when I had both of them 12 years apart while I was in labor goodtimes marathon was on TV at the hospital.. we make sure we're home every day for this show if not thank goodness to remind on demand.. this and sanford and sons are two shows I will never get tired of watching.

[MinisodeNetwork]

Hmm, according to Wikipedia the family was preparing to move to Mississippi to join James at his new job. (I know, Wikipedia...)

[mugwump666]

The job in Alaska was Season 3 Episode 1, and he did not take that job. He stayed on the show for the rest of season 3.

He was killed off in Season 4 Episode 1, in a car accident in Mississippi.

And please don't say bad stuff about WIki. They were right.

[MinisodeNetwork]

Correct, they never showed it as John Amos simply left the show. Was it Mississippi? Nice catch!

[Deadprez41]

He got a job in Mississippi and was killed in a car accident. They never showed him because he left the show.

[KadmonHillz]

He got that job in Alaska...But James was from Mississippi.

[HELLAhandsomeKRiiS]

what episode is it where they show what happens to the father? like i think someone said he died on the show but i never got to see the episode

[aliensamuraipirate]

i'd prefer to see the whole episode personally. this must be for people with short attention spans.

[DigitalJediMaster]

YouTube only allows 10 minute uploads, and restricts the amount of copyrighted content you can upload.

[MinisodeNetwork]

DigitalJediMaster is correct, but this is also the MINISODE Network, thus all the episodes are MINI!

[NYVoice]

Of course you all recognized the gentleman at the end playing the role of Monte-all together now-STY-MIE! Yessir, Matthew Stymie Beard himself. A legend.

[massageking25]

Out of sight, Dynamite!

[boombap73]

They lived in the worst project in Chicago and never locked their front door.

[TheFrenchers]

cool show!! check out "money makes you crazy" on youtube, it's whats going on in these times.

[frankaliiciious]

1:51 Dynomiitte! XD Love this show.

[miguelitoeldiablito]

cabini green projects been there.

[TubeBeeyotch]

This was a gorgeous show (=

[georgelee43211]

i wish the tv networks had show like this now instead of that tv reality bullshit.

[aliensamuraipirate]

they still play reruns of this on tv land and tv one, but yes, i agree. seems like everyone has a reality show now, on every channel! it sucks.

[kiddiequeenofmotown]

MY FAVORITE SHOW IN THE WORLD!

[Jordans03]

thats cabrini green,,, its tore down mainly now

im not from there im from da WESside of chicao

[7UniqueElements]

W O W.

I used to love to watch this show as a child. I'm an adult now and I realize that this show was the equivalent to us being portrayed as scared maids & butlers or depicted as lazy, big lipped, cotton pickers laying around on cotton bales.

...Under-educated, poor, jobless, hopeless, religiously brainwashed, and don't forget how the parents continually squashed the light in their youngest son whenever he spoke about the psychological, spiritual and overall decaying health of his people.

[priscillaofmanila]

THAT'S Entertainment!  Very natural...as if there is no script. Wonderful cast.

[jake23211]

im 13 and i love classic shows like i love lucy good times the jeffersons andy girffith there all good=)

[queez11ciara]

i'm 16 i love watching classic tv to my favorite show is leave it to beaver

[jake23211]

i love that show to its just so hard to find it on=)

[queez11ciara]

yea i know what u mean but i just watch them on youtube or record some episodes when they come on

[grooveskin]

man i wish you guys would offer more of t.v. shows on the phones as there is to much casper and voltron and square pegs all over minisodes in v cast videos

[coupleofbeers31]

can't get enough of that theme song....reminds me of watching this as a kid in the early 80s....

[keyshia2222]

i swear i no dis by heart!!lol

[kurtlockwood]

Best theme song ever.

[keyshia2222]

i no dis a classic!!it tells about real life issues!

[pminner]

Montie...is Stymie from the little rascals.

[trekinseattle]

Ya know black or white it doesn't matter there are NO good roll models anymore.

Well very very few. Family is important. Good times, Sanford and son, they were good shows.

I sure hope that with the Obamas comes a new hope for people everywhere. Hard work and education goes a long long way. And it's even better with a good family to help out when you need it.

[makingeventshappen]

The best shows ever!!

[dawnrexgurl]

James was no joke,at least he was there with his family too many Black dudes not with their baby mamas,and I hate that she is the mother of your child and support the child damn whats up some of u bros step up!!!

[Nequachick15]

she should of new he was acting he had to say do i here a knock at the door two times.

[MinisodeNetwork]

we removed the offender but to all those who may follow suit, please keep comments respectful and directed towards the video content.

[nesha8813]

what a way to go about life filled with hate. all you can say is nigger this or nigger that. grow up.

[nesha8813]

hair of wool, skin of copper. how can jesus be white? who knows? thats why you shouldnt use images of jesus in worship.

[pminner]

that was the networks doing I'm sure....

[Nortekman]

Florida is one foxy lady

[msfalisa]

Great family. Even though they didn't have a lot of money they had each other.

[Monzerelli]

It's a damn shame she's praying to white Jesus. This is typical in our neighborhoods (the big brain wash)...either way I understand the jist but damn!

[kabrinam]

she shoulda been glad he was only hustling pool.

[kabrinam]

that daggone oatmeal. the kind you cook on the stove tastes even worse.

[chri8067]

"If you wanted somebody fast you should have married OJ Simpson." Ha, Ha, Ha.

[indianred87]

james is a real man..He'll take care of his family and won't be able to leave them during tough times. We need those type of men now these days

[tiana1017]

james was a good man but he was very chauvenistic as well, when florida wanted to go back to school for examp, he was all against it at first, it's like his views about women work and men work is ridiculous, so the type of man these days wouldn't work now a days, they wouldn't be able to live in the ghetto they would be homeless, BUT good thing at the end James decided to let Florida go back to school, I guess because he didn't want her resenting him and he ended up going back as well.

[travisdevose]

U DAMN RIGHT.I AM. GOD BLESS

[bluetoothheffa]

Everybody pay attention. Monty, the guy who delivers the money to James is actually Stymie from the little rascals. Matthew "Stymie" Beard.

[tiana1017]

you are right stymie is was from the little rascals

[straightofdahood]

funny how she prayed about it, and he went out and DID it....funny concept

[HuskyNoir]

Wait, hold up....you mean to tell me that James, the head of the family now, didn't have a key to his own door while Willona, their neighbor, always just entered at will? LOL

But oh well, no matter what, this is one of my all time favorite TV shows EVER! Thanks for sharing, Minisode Network

~~Husky Noir ~~

[dawnrexgurl]

James was funny he did not play he was bad ass

[MinisodeNetwork]

great eye!

[JLTBATTS123]

they will extend you right out into da street

funny=]

nd d aknucke part

but wat r they going 2 do next month or 4 months

[schs19947]

Florida's prayer & faith has taken many a family thru some tough times. Keep prayin Florida

[Mshoney720]

I just wish the picture of Jesus she prays to could have at least been black.!

[schs19947]

God is not a God of color. The pictures of Christ are man's depictions of him. That doesn't necessarily mean he was that color. It was rare in the region he was born that they had blue eyes. The word says his hair was like lamb's wool and his feet were burnished brass.

Rev. 1:14-15

[etherbeing]

Praying and waiting on Jesus is one of many B-lack people problem. When we was in Africa we knew NOTHING of JESUS, Until we came to this country as slaves on the First Slave ship called Jesus. Our people must let go of that lie, Jesus was not real his story is as those before him. Horus, Krishna, Attis, Mytra, Dioneses, ect. Constantine created Jesus in 325 AD at the Conference of Nicea, This is a fact. My people must let go of a Caucasian GOD and know that GOD is within us. GO LOOK!!

[etherbeing]

To wish is only hope as hopes are dreams and dreams are illusion. Over stand to see the fact that to have a Black Jesus is an insult to Caucasian, REASON, Jesus was created by Constantine in 325AD at the conference of Nicea to be a Caucasian. Nubian or B-lacks have been and still is being mislead, My people are perishing from the lack of KNOWLEDGE, of self so lets wake up and see that GOD is within us and always had been. I love Caucasian because they come from us but I HATE their EVIL ways.

[nupedre]

He was black, remeber it was Ned the Wino!!

[luno44]

I wish my rent was $104.50.

But what're they gonna do about next month's rent? It's due in 4 weeks.

[MinisodeNetwork]

smart thinking...might need to play some more pool

[lvanhalen]

[MinisodeNetwork]

[CaptnAwesomepatch]

Indeed, then I wouldn't have a problem paying the rest of my utilities XD

[Betty89w]

LOL. Personally, I don't pay rent...just cable bill. Somewhat of a 'charmed life.' I adore you, MinisodeNetwork. Keep 'em coming!

[solatuyax]

[dankitti]

Classic teevee. Dy-no-mite! Hangin' in the jury! Actually, hangin' in and jivin'! Not getting hassled, not getting hustled. That was great tv!

[drlove1972]

[AndySan]

[devildriver024]
