Very apropo for the times .... "keepin' your head above water / makin a wave when you can / temporary layoffs (GoodTimes) / Easy credit rip offs (GoodTimes) ...." uncanny
You know, I could totally hear "chow line", but after reading that the line is supposed to be "hanging in and jiving", I listened carefully and can totally hear that line now lol. I thought this was a good show, and it created the atmosphere so realistically.
there always seems to be a lot of racist remarks towards white people in this show...black people are forever putting the blame on white people..i don't understand this...why don't they be productive
THE WRITERS OF THE SHOW WERE WHITE! So if there were racial comments, it was the fault of the white writers who wrote the scripts. You can't generalize all blacks by making it seem as though they blame whites for their issues. Do you blame yourself or your teacher for not being able to put a sentence together correctly? Who did you blame for being an idiot when you didn't pay attention in school?
Always thought Hanging in a chow line too, but its actually Hangin in and jiving!!! Ask the ones that wrote the song Alan & Marilyn Bergman. Yeh I know how to use Wikipedia and smoke blunts at the same time, LOL....
Oh yes. This was the episode JJ thought he caught VD from a girl he was dating, and when he went to the clinic, Jay was one other patient waiting to be seen. He did have a few speaking parts.
Yeah I read a few books back in the early nineties on the Chicago projects. Very poor maintenance and the tenants really had to fight for a lot to effect change.
Rachel and Her Children was one book and There Are No Children Here was the other book.
Drugs, violence, crime you name it. Pretty freaky for the projects. I wonder if the worse parts of Chicago have improved since then or is it the same old same old.
I always thought it was "hangin in a jury" when I was young lad, then on I KNOW BLACK PEOPLE they said "chow line" but the writers of the show have made it clear that it's "Hangin and jivin" or however u spell it. Always interesting to learn something new about a show that I grew up watching.
What happened to the father in this show. I remember they said he died. Did he really die. Wasn't he the owner of the fake McDonalds in Coming to America?
"Once focused on the importance of family values, the show was shifting more and more toward the silly antics of Jimmie Walker, who was becoming a runaway hit on the show as the aimless, egotistical, jive-talking teenage son JJ. John began frequently clashing with the higher-ups and, by 1976, was released from the series, with his character being killed in an off-camera car accident while finding employment out of state."
In fact John Amos is still alive and well and still acting. I think his most recent role was in Men In Trees. He was also previously on The West Wing. But yeah, I remember only saying Good Times was only worth watching if John Amos was in it. He was soooooo funny!
Notice how in the opening credits, the Reds are surrounded by grass, then in the end credits they're surrounded by asphalt. "Looking out of the window, watching the asphalt grow". I used to watch this show all the time as a kid, and that didn't hit me until now. RIP Cabrini-Green. Hope the residents all find better lives.
CLOSING THEME LYRICS Mmmmmm Just lookin' out of the window. Watchin' the asphalt grow. Thinkin' how it all looks hand-me-down. Good Times, yeah, yeah Good Times Keepin' your head above water Makin' a wave when you can Temporary lay offs. - Good Times. VOICE-OVER spoken by John Amos: Good Times was recorded in front of a live studio audience Easy credit rip offs. - Good Times. Ain't we lucky we got 'em - Good Times.
OPENING THEME LYRICS Good Times. Any time you meet a payment. - Good Times. Any time you need a friend. - Good Times. Any time you're out from under. Not getting hassled, not getting hustled. Keepin' your head above water, Making a wave when you can. Temporary lay offs. - Good Times. Easy credit rip offs. - Good Times. Scratchin' and surviving. - Good Times. Hangin in a chow line - Good Times. Ain't we lucky we got 'em - Good Times.
Is the Title meant to be ironic? 'Cause it looks like Shit Times living in the ghetto.
Anyone ever live there? Is this show realistic? - coz I can't imagine anyone being happy living like this. Why would you bother? Why not take off for the open land or another country? - Ghettoes look barely better than hell!
Hard times are good for the character - but really who would want to be there - why not go live in the country? Cities were a good idea thousands of years ago when they were small - say 100,0000 people - but megalopolis is just not natural - it's a shit life. (Of course the world now has an overpopulation problem, so to some extent it's unavoidable.)
thanks for your response. i had posted this message about 4 times over past year to see if anyone could remember it! i am not sure if it resulted in miss jackson joining but it is the episode that sticks out the most. very touchy topic for 1970's comedy...
I think Janet Dubois sings it. She's the woman who played Willona (and she also played in "I'm Gonna Get You, Sucka!". She wrote both the theme songs to "Good Times" and "The Jeffersons".

it doesnt matter what color your skin is, but if your out there stuggling you can relate to this show, and its nice to see people on tv struggling, not everyone is rich or well educated
Those buildings were projects in Chicago. My cousin lives there and when i went to chi town she drove us to where those projects were and they are tearing those down to make aparments for the rich.
My grandma said she did not like this show when it came out because it showed how blacks lived in the projects and how they had welfare. And not all blacks were on welfare and lived in the projects. My grandma wasn't
The Evans wasn't on welfare. It's not about skin color it's showing how some people have to struggle in order to survive. It showed you could have love and family values even if you live in the ghetto.
It's a play on words...sarcasm if you will...if you listen to the words of the opening song, they describe all kinds of hards ships followed by "Good times, ain't we lucky we got 'em" So it's like sarcasm.

He was in the episode "J.J. in Trouble". J.J. thinks he has a venereal disease and goes to a clinic to get checked out. Leno's the young man he talks to.
Probably not. Ha, when I was growing up outside of NYC in the early '70s, air pollution in all our cities was ridiculous-- when I hear people screaming about what they consider "pollution" TODAY, it just makes me laugh. Except for when they refer to what now passes for our culture.
I think we can ALL relate to this now.

Probably not. Ha, when I was growing up outside of NYC in the early '70s, air pollution in all our cities was ridiculous-- when I hear people screaming about what they consider "pollution" TODAY, it just makes me laugh. Except for when they refer to what now passes for our culture.
