Florida Evans yelling: "Damn... Damn... Damn!", is iconic. I used to hear people hollering that all though the 80's and 90's.

[@TremellluvYah]

I met her in high school. Got a picture with her in the yearbook. I told her I could act and asked if she wanted to see something. I did the Damn Damn Damn. She was crackin up.

[@jordanbass705]

Florida evans is still one of the best tv mom ever that kept it real Estelle rolle will always be great actress.

[@thenormanleareffect]

The definition of tough love and perseverance! Absolutely one of the best tv moms of all time.

[@angelminaj617]

She was so extra and dramatic

[@jordanbass705]

@@angelminaj617 I know especially whenever James made money too move out of the ghetto I seems like she want her family to stay stuff in the ghetto I’m glad by season 6 they finally move out for a better life

[@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854]

She's a TERRIBLE TV mom. Personally, I think they KILLED the WRONG parent off...

[@wildlifedocumentaryus]

What's more critical is Esther Rolle's acting!

[@TheDetroitblack]

I have the DVDs I fall asleep every night watching Good times!!I love them all❤️❤️

[@btceth4714]

I watch Good Times every single day.

[@tdb4763]

You can watch my life instead. I'm living the good life the good times.

[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris]

One of my fave childhood shows 🥰 My fave family.

[@thenormanleareffect]

We love that they're your favorite family! Who was your favorite character on Good Times?

[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris]

@@thenormanleareffect I liked them all but Willona is my fave. She was an awesome friend of the family.

[@badgerden7080]

I'm very surprised that Good Times was able to survive without John Amos. They made a big mistake firing him. The series was never really the same without him. R.I.P. Esther Rolle.

[@miriamowens203]

[@ultraduck7472]

There isn't a TV mom better than Florida she was so smart

[@Etobeeshawn]

I would say Clair Huxtable (played by Phylicia Rashad) is up there with Florida Evans, if not ranked higher

[@bluelee6700]
