Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Good Times is an American television sitcom that aired for six seasons on CBS, from February 8, 1974, to August 1, 1979. Created by Eric Monte and Mike Evans and developed by executive producer Norman Lear, it was television's first African-American two-parent family sitcom. It is a spin-off of Maude, which itself spun off from All in the Family. This was the last sitcom Bud Yorkin produced before he ended his partnership with Norman Lear and Tandem Productions; two years later he formed TOY Productions with Saul Turteltaub and Bernie Orenstein. Good Times tackled challenging and complex issues, such as gang warfare, racism, widowhood, poverty, education, child abuse, unemployment, evictions, financial struggles, bigamy, paraplegia, dating, stealing, suicide, mugging, engagements, affairs, drug addiction, and rent parties.
