Good Times: The Complete First Season (Full Frame)

"Good Times" was that rare hit show which was a spin-off of the spin-off (TV's "All In The Family" begat "Maude," which in turn spawned "Good Times" on CBS). Airing for five highly-rated seasons (1974-1979), "Good Times" altered America's cultural landscape by tackling topical, often controversial issues from a uniquely African-American perspective, while delivering heart-warming laughs. Focusing on a poor but proud family in the Chicago projects, the Evans clan - headed by James (John Amos) and sharp-tongued mother Florida (Esther Rolle) - struggled against adversity while keeping their heads held high, striking a chord with audiences of all colors. The traiblazing show also made a star of jive-talkin' comedian Jimmie Walker whose catchphrase "DYN-O-MITE!" became part of '70s pop culture. Episodes include: Disc 1: "Getting Up The Rent", "Black Jesus", "Too Old Blues", "God's Business Is Good Business", "Michael Gets Suspended" and "Junior Gets A Patron" Disc 2: "Sex And The Evans Family", "Junior The Senior", "The Visitor", "Springtime In The Ghetto", "The TV Commercial", "The Checkup" and "My Son The Lover".
