	"Good Times" (1974)
		Ralph Carter wasn't that good as the youngest Evans kid Michael--I was always aware he was acting.
		The lives and times of the Evans family living the projects of Chicago.
		Still the first two seasons are great and even the last few with Rolle are pretty good.

	TV Land - Good Times
		Good Times follows the challenges and joys of the close-knit Evans family--patriarch James, mother Florida, eldest son and accomplished amateur painter J.J. (James Evans, Jr.), brainy and beautiful daughter Thelma, and youngest son Michael, a political and social activist--who live together in a high-rise housing project on the South Side of Chicago.
		With ratings in decline, Good Times was pulled from the CBS schedule, and the last original episode aired on August 1, 1979.
		In a television landscape populated almost exclusively by prosperous white characters living in idealized settings, and where black families were always presented as somehow broken or fractured, Good Times was the first prime-time series that featured a strong black man at the head of a close-knit lower-middle-class black family.

	Good Times
		Cast as the youngest son Michael (the militant in the family) was Ralph Carter- he was appearing in the hit Broadway musical 'Raisin' before (and right after) 'Good Times' hit the airwaves.
		'Good Times' was a ratings smash right away, the 17th most popular show of the 1973-74 season.
		'All in The Family' begat 'Maude' and 'Maude' begat 'Good Times' - but as it was conceived, 'Good Times' was one of the most original shows on the tube in 1974 (and one of the funniest).

	Good Times - Pazsaz Entertainment Network
		This high-rated show was a successful spin-off of Maude, which focuses on the life of Florida Evans, Maude's former maid, and her husband James and their children, James "J.J." Jr., Thelma, and Michael.

	Good Times
		Good Times was initially successful in that it offered solace for both blacks and whites, who could identify with the difficulties the Evans family faced.
		Good Times was also noteworthy in its portrayal of an African-American family attempting to negotiate the vicissitudes of life in a high-rise tenement apartment in an urban slum--the first show to tackle such a scenario with any measure of realism.
		Good Times, with its success and its criticism remains an important program in television history.

		Out of the 'Black Family' came the Evans Family and the show was called "Good Times".
		Among the people in Black Hollywood who have reached out to help him were the producers of the show “Moesha” and the “Wayans Brothers”, “They wanted to write a “Good Times” movie but after I saw an episode of their show where they re-made “Good Times” I said no way, it was too degrading.
		Monte saw it as a golden opportunity to finally do an all-black show correctly and without all of the hassles he had went through with the producers of “Good Times”, the show was to be called “What’s Happening”.

	The Leader - Good Times: The Complete First Season
		But while Walker's James "J.J." Evans Junior became the most famous face of Good Times, the bedrock of the sitcom were the actors playing his parents, Esther Rolle and John Amos as Florida and James Evans, two good-hearted but fallible people struggling to raise their family amid the poverty of the Chicago projects.

	Good Times: First Season PopMatters Television Review
		Created by Eric Monte and Michael Evans, Good Times was a spin-off of Maude, which was in turn spun off of All in the Family (both also Lear creations).
		When Florida Evans (Esther Rolle) leaves Maude's employ as housekeeper, and relocates to Chicago, the intelligent and quick-witted maid is transformed into a more subdued, maternal stay-at-home mom.
		Rolle was even more outspoken about the producers' decision to focus on the buffoonish J.J., whose "Dyn-o-mite" was being emulated by the black youth of America.

	ABC Sport - Cycling - O'Grady pipped to fourth at Italian Worlds
		"It's fantastic for me to become just the fourth rider to win the title three times, and it's good to hear your name mentioned in the same sentence as Eddy Merckx," said the 28-year-old Freire.

		Freire, a pre-race favourite whose chances improved when Italy's Olympic champion Paolo Bettini pulled out with a knee injury on the 15th lap, was led out perfectly by Valverde before finishing off the job in style.

		Residents of this remote speck of land in the Chesapeake Bay, first inhabited by English colonists in the 17th century, still speak a brogue that they trace back to Elizabethan times.
		"Our best estimate at present is that perhaps an area the size of Washington, D.C. is being lost in the Chesapeake Bay every century now," said Michael S. Kearney of the University of Maryland.

	Photography : Art Form of the Sacred Cow
		In yesterday's New York Times two longish articles on photography shows at the Puffin Room and at Matthew Marks Gallery followed a very long article on Steichen by the ever-unctuous Michael Kimmelman, and of the nine short reviews two were devoted to photography, the late Dr. Tasker, and the polaroids of Walker Evans.
		Photography was supposed to be "better" than painting (though not as good as film) because it held the possibility of political action.
		Photography as an art form has degenerated into an evasion of standards, even within its own context.
