Good Times | Most Iconic Moments | The Norman Lear Effect

[@jamesorsby7553]

Florida screaming...Damn! Damn! Damn!... is still iconic after all of this time.

[@ShoryoTombo]

I still react to it the first time I saw the episode. Not a dry eye in our household.

[@josephclegg3562]

That's the best line of the whole series.

[@marieskee22]

I just burst into tears. That's was some damn fine acting.

[@jamesdaniels964]

IT WAS ABSOLUTELY REAL

[@jamesorsby7553]

@@jamesdaniels964 Yep... Deep down from her soul.

[@tj921able]

When it came to Penny's adoption, it wasn't just ONE who loved her, it was a WHOLE household of love waiting for her!

[@josephclegg3562]

Love Janet Jackson, but I wasn't too fond of the abusive storyline.

[@miram2053]

​@@josephclegg3562it's very real though. But triggering.

[@SnowDaulphin]

We loved her too.

[@dyafnradio]

John Amos should have won an Emmy for his performance in regards to his father!

[@jamesdaniels964]

John Amos played that role

[@samuelgriffin4167]

Next year this show will celebrate 50 years

[@LeaJackson90]

Yeah all the kids were just on Sherry ❤😊

[@videox222ify]

James Sr. throwing the chair and smashing it Florida crying “damn, damn, damn” Mrs. Gordon coming after poor Penny with the hot iron

[@josephclegg3562]

Never really liked the Penny being abused by her mother episode. By that point, l think Good Times had lost its way.

[@TimothyTowriss]

Good times is my all time favorites ❤🎉

[@sueking7292]

Such an incredible show!

[@charlesrobinson7469]

That DAMN was for ALL of US.🙏🏾

[@miram2053]

The grief of losing a spouse is so intense. Hits you like a ton of bricks...

[@RobertGoldman-o2p]

If James was alive when Penny was being abused, James would have taken off his belt and beat the tar out of the abusive mother.

[@thesocialspot6440]

MAAAAAAAN.... James would've had a field day with her.

[@peggypeggy4137]

I was in jr high when this show came out. ❤The kids went CRAZY over JJ. ❤ He is all they ever talked about.❤

[@bigwillietheb]

I had just been born at the beginning of season 2

[@rachelmiller4811]

This is still one of my favorites

[@donnielindon-em6du]

Great show yall

[@Dickens58]

Recently got all the episodes on DVD. Love it

[@MayThereBeWorldPeace]

I really loved this show. 💕💖💕

[@BrandiHilton-pq2km]

I love this program. I have one season of it. . They have their own charms.

[@pettykittyfam]

This & so many of the tv shows from this time really touched my soul 💗 They had really difficult topics that got us deep ❤

[@carlpeterson8182]

The time when John Amos faced the gang member who shot JJ and felt sorry for him. That was huge. Also, the end of the episode when Penny gets burned by the Iron (off camera). That was chilling.

[@samuelgriffin4167]

Willona wanted Penny to have a beautiful home and adopted her

[@josephclegg3562]

Mrs. Gordon should have been arrested and locked up in a mental facility.

little janet jackson

[@samuelgriffin4167]

The saddest episodes were both James Evans and his father during a birthday celebration and when The Evans family got tragic news about James Evans being killed in a car crash in Mississippi

[@josephclegg3562]

James being killed off is where l think ruined the show.

[@samuelgriffin4167]

Florida Evans was fortunate to see Thelma get married wish James Evans was there

[@josephclegg3562]

James probably would have given Keith the third degree like he did Eddie and Larry.

[@waynedexter]

James was there in spirit

[@ShoryoTombo]

Brings so much memories and I am enjoying every video 🥰💗

[@nerdbamarich2063]

Legendary

[@Justcallmegiggles]

I use to watch this with my grandma and I been hooked on this show now im 33 now I been watching it since childhood and when I was a teenager I had my cousins watching it too I will always love this show❤ even though this show is before my time i am so hooked on it ❤

[@camillewalker8143]

Them doing the supremes for the rent party I feel out on Florida and Michael dance moves on when you're young and in love, the dance with James and the old lady was hilarious ❤

[@lauraluffman6177]

What a great show miss all those shows

[@DevineLoved]

And i'm going to be a grand booger 😂😂😂😂

[@samuelgriffin4167]

The final episode was Thelma announced that she was pregnant

[@josephclegg3562]

Wish we could have gotten a chance to see how life was for them after they all got out of the ghetto.

[@heathcliffrobertson2319]

L really loved this show 💕💖💕

[@DevineLoved]

It's mj crying in the background 😂😂😂

[@samuelgriffin4167]

Any updates on actor John Amos on how well he is doing

[@PinkSunglasses50]

❤Penny❤

[@TheRyanRealm]

I really liked JJ in Trading Places. I guess that was after this.

[@nataliemiller5537]

You forgot one. I think when penny's real mom to get her back

[@simonmarshall19]

I always wished Maude Finley would’ve met JJ & Michael Evans .

[@samuelgriffin4167]

See how Keith tried to cut that meat and eat it

[@josephclegg3562]

That meat was really tough.

[@yasminvaughn2975]

Its strange that Thelma got married not JJ!

[@hondacivic8130]

Janet Jackson❤She is such a beautiful actress she’s all over Hollywood Michael Jackson sister

[@CMichaels56]

Good Lord Thelma was (is) so damn hot!
