Today is the 40th Anniversary of GOOD TIMES


This show is a bit of a staple in the Black community. It was a basic story of a struggling family in America, with a hard working father, a loving mother, and three interesting kids.

For 5 years, the series told a lot good and sad stories from Michael's run-in with the FBI over Cuba,  JJ getting shot, Thelma's Marriage to Keith, Penny, Florida leaving and returning, and the last episode where they all leave the ghetto.

But the one episode (actually 2 episodes) that got to me was James' death.

Here are scenes from those 2 episodes
