Centered on the strong-willed but loving parents Florida and James Evans (Esther Rolle and John Amos), Good Times spun out stories of poverty and resilience that skillfully balanced comedy and politics. An episode in which James returns a found bag of money stolen from a bank doesn't trot out bland homilies about honesty, but becomes a surprisingly multilayered debate about civic virtue. In one of the second season's comic centerpieces, the Evans family avoids eating a neighbor's meatloaf because they think it's made with dog food. The scene is played as hilarious farce, but the acknowledgment of a poor old woman living on dog food gives the sequence an underlying bite. The commentary rarely feels forced; at its best, the show drew significance out of the characters' daily lives. An episode about a pregnant teen ends on an unexpectedly moving note, without any strings on the soundtrack to cue the audience's heartstrings--that's solid writing and acting. With buffoonish Jimmy "Dy-no-mite!" Walker, foxy Ja'Net Du Bois, sweet BernNadette Stanis, and militant Ralph Carter rounding out the cast, Good Times is a time capsule both for fashion (even though they lived in the projects, the Evans' fashion-plate neighbor Willona, played by Du Bois, was rarely without a glamorous get-up) and for a time in which mainstream sitcoms had the freedom to reflect the tougher side of reality. --Bret Fetzer

Customer Reviews of Good Times - The Complete Second Season

Shut up J.J.!!!
James, Florida, J.J, Thelma, Michael, & Willona are back! Finally the second season of Good Times is here, following the first season release by at least a year!! Well, it was worth the wait and more because Season 2 includes almost double the episodes of the first season and the packaging is a colorful and fun double-fold case featuring great photos of the entire cast! What's better is the set can be purchased at a very reasonable price. The second season of Good Times ran from Sept. '74 to March '75 and consists of the 24 episodes included here uncut and commercial free! The only extra features are trailers for similar sitcoms and the blessed "play all episodes" feature!

Trivia:

*When Good Times started (1974), J.J and Thelma, who were supposed to be in high school, were in real life, 27 and 21 respectively! Michael was actually 13.

*Esther Rolle and John Amos were actually 19 years apart. Esther was 54 and John was 35.

*John Amos (James Evans) left the show after the 3rd season. He was written off the show as having died in a car accident while in Mississippi where he found a good job. The character of Carl Dixon (Moses Gunn) that is introduced in late season 4, proposes to Florida and she accepts.

*Esther Rolle left Good Times during season 5 because of unhappiness with the show's direction and of the J.J. character. She was written out of the season as being away on her honeymoon with Carl. She returned as Florida, the rock of the Evans family, for season 6, which was the final season.

Esther Rolle (1920-1998)
Moses Gunn (1929-1993)

DY-NO-Mite,Good Times Season Two
After a hilarious first season,Good Times return for a second go round.With a full 24 episodes unlike season one's 13,which means nearly double the laughs
Classic episodes includes Florida Flips, Crosstown Buses Run All Day, Doodah, Doodah (Michael gets bussed), The Gang (Mad Dogg), The Nude (The Wiggler), and the classic episode The Dinner Party about the Evans' neighbor who's loss of income has her resorting to eating dog food.After the family invites her to dinner,she brings over meatloaf(!!!).
All the cast are in top form which would carry over into the third season which would be John Amos last season.And when that set comes out,it'll be all you need of this great series.
