Good Times is an American television sitcom that aired for six seasons on CBS, from 1974, to 1979. It was television's first African American two-parent family sitcom. Good Times is a spin-off of Maude, which itself is a spin-off of All in the Family, making Good Times the first television spin-off from another spin-off. The first two episodes are notable for their strong, liberal, sociopolitical stance, representing an attitude of 1970s progressivism.

They all aged so well. RIP TO THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED .... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wasn't that Julian Bond that was in the picture for Thelma Husband
@@arlenerogerswilhite2236 I have to rewatch to see
@@arlenerogerswilhite2236 yes not Ben powers
@@arlenerogerswilhite2236 Yep!🤣
Janet Dubois was cab calloway daughter
wish we all could go back to those wonderful days, they were good people back then and I missed them. just love the ones you are with now, cause the years go quick.
Yesss🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yes
Well said …
🥰🥰🥰🥰
THELMA STILL LOOKING GOOD TILL THIS DAY!
Bernadette Stanis is now a cast member on Family Business season 4
Man, I was in love with her when I was a kid. Seemed like all my buddies were in love with Daisy Duke, but Thema had my heart! Lol 🤣👍
Yes, she does look good for her age and is still beautiful as ever.
@@dewash331 I watch " Family Business" and I enjoy watching her on the show.
Thank you that’s what I said that is not Bernadette in the wheelchair that fake pictures Black don’t Crack she is still beautiful
To All The Cast Member's Of The Show ( Good Time's 🏠 ) Then And Now!! What A Great 70's Show.. R.I.P To All That Have Died And Crossed Over To Eternity 🕊️ 🙏🕊️🙏.
God bless you and your family 🙏🏾
@@eatwithzayy3485 The Same Here For You As Well ⭐⭐ @Eat With Zayy - God Bless You & Your Whole Entire Family And Love One's With Many Many Blessings 🙏 🕊️🙏🕊️.
Rest in Peace 🕊️ to the people who died😔
And some so young.💔
this show was a comfort for me during turbulent times as a child, thank you actors and actresses.
My favorite all time sitcom, I'm still watching the reruns everyday like it's a new episode lol never getting tired of them. I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Bernnadette (Thelma) in person at one of our Military Bases in San Antonio Tx. at the BX in 2017. I took a picture with her we talked as though we were old friends, she's so down to earth.
Same here!
My favorite next to the Jeffersons and What's Happening👍My family had the pleasure of meeting Thelma and her real Momma at our Church Perfectting Saints Worship Center doing her Book Tour😉She signed autographs and took Photos💯Down to Earth and Very Sweet😉
@@robertisaac3723 oh yes Robert my second all time favorite but they don't do reruns often wish they would.
I watch it so MUCH MY WIFE gets tired 😄
Wow I bet that was nice ❤️🥰🤳🏽❤️🙌🏽
That's Julian Bond, he was Georgia State Senator not Ben Powers, Damn!!!
To whom it may concern, the later photo supposedly of "Ben Powers" the actor who played "Kieth Anderson" in the "Good Times" TV sitcom IS NOT a photo of the late Ben Powers. The picture displayed on the right "between (time log) 2:27 & 2:36" is actually that of civil rights leader Julian Bond of the 1960s who is also deceased.
Yes it is
neither is tha photo of thelma i wish yall quit doin this ought to be ashamed of yourselves makin these celebrities look like monsters. if i was one of their family members i would of been sued yall pants off.
Hal Williams is not dead. There are so many mistakes here. Fo your homework before you post a video.
Sad to see so many have died..l grew up with this show..never missed it..always left u with a good feeling ,cos everyone stuck together in good and bad...always loved Thelma glad to see shes still fit and well.
Yeah, there was Good Times, where they never made it out, and The Jeffersons, where they never looked back. Both quality shows, but I was partial to the Jeffersons, as the stories tended to be more positive. Good Times absolutely kept it real. I still remember kids at my elementary school wearing "Dyno-mite!" T-shirts, with JJ on them. I don't think Jeffersons had a T-shirt.
Jimmie Walker kinda reminded me of a black Bob Denver(Gilligan on Gilligan's Island)
Regardless of details, the 70s were the peak of America.
only 3 people r deceased from good times esther rolle janet dubois an recently iohnny brown
That’s not Ben Powers older, that’s Julian Bond. 😂
They all keep using that same picture, even though everybody keeps telling them that's not Ben Powers.
Plus I don't like the way he had nothing else to say about the black police officer....but "wooly hair, characteristics common to all African Americans." Well damn is that all that the man achieved in his acting career?
Lmao. Ikr
Any old black face will do, they don't care.
The elderly woman in the wheel chair is not Debbie Allen. You should verify your facts before broadcasting. It makes your credibility sink. Have your work checked. I like your idea. Do more after you check the facts.
R.I.P. TO ALL WHO PASSED! 🙏🏽💖🕊
Now I wanna watch Good Times and The Jeffersons.
Bernadette Stanis will ALWAYS be one of the most beautiful people in the world!!!
say it again!
🎃
Me. Mom
My TV Crush for over three decades
Surprised Chip Fields wasn't included. She had a small part, but major to the storyline, and exceptionally acted.
Yes! Chip Fields is Kim and Alexis Field’s mom
Who??
@@mariejohnson9665 she played Penny's (Janet Jackson's) abusive biological mother.
And some of Wilona’s boyfriends.
Right @whitesoxfan68 , Chip (Who's a very good Actress) played an important part to some of the storylines that was just as relevant to the show like some of the Others who were shown with short parts.
Some of them looked old in their 30’s but looked amazing as they grew older. Bernadette is still fine. My favorite show and I was born in 1991. I had all of the seasons on DVD. They got lost after I got out of the Air Force.
Hello Keisha how are you doing?
WOW, THE MEMORIES 👍
I miss my grandparents 🪦🪦
grandmother passed away in her sleep we held a funeral for her a name is Mrs Lela obom
Aww this show was so much fun to watch laughter and clean. Miss the entire cast.
The greatest show of all times ( GOODTIMES ) Goodtimes made home feel so homie & brought so much laughter & love in homes !!!
This show was great, and Thelma was, at the time, the hottest young woman on TV❤️
Fake news. Stop the lies.
Thats a fact. Daisy Duke didn't hold a match to that candle 🔥
@@killroyjohnson1256 some what a different time but I get what you're saying....
Agreed👍👍
@@eveningglow9023 Actually I'm pretty sure they were around the same time. Late 70s to early 80s. I watched them both as a kid and remember them well.
I met Bernnadette Stanis almost 20 years ago. What can I say? That girl will ALWAYS be fine!
Bernnadette Stanis*. Have some respect boy.
@Opium Trail I corrected it. She knows I love her. If I could, I would upload the pic of her and I.
@@domanicledbettersr.7861 Thank you kind sir.
Sweet Daddy Williams was not played by Bubba Smith. He was played by Theodore Wilson who died in 1991
It didn't say Bubba Smith played Sweet Daddy. Go back and re-watch. He said his name was, CLAUDE.
This fool got all the facts wrong
I hope they can fix the Julian Bond in the Keith Anderson/Ben Powers section of this video.
Although it's sad to see so many of them have died they seem too have lived a good and long life; God rest their soul🙏
How about Lenny? He was funny. The one who always sold things under his coat.
That's not a picture of Ben Powers, that's actually Congressman Julian Bond. (at 2:33)
This is the best video of a cast from the 70's I've ever seen! I mean you named each and everyone that appeared on the show which has never been done.
Most of the time it'll be the main cast , I really appreciate this video, you didn't leave me wondering about the one's that did cameo appearances and if they're still alive. Well done !!!!!👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👌🏾💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😘
Unfortunately, there were a few blunders.
@@Tritonprince Where?
They left out Sweet Daddy and Mr. Balderman.
Absolutely 💯
I Agree 👍
This video sucks on many levels.
One of my nightly Prayers at 10 y.o. (1974) was "Lord, please let me look like Thelma by the time I'm 16!" 😂😍
😁😁 how time flies
What a wonderful world.
Hello Michele how are you doing hope all is well with you and your family.
This is better than most. I like how the side by side is shown, the then and now with age of death and reason of death. This could be a little better but so far from what I’ve seen you have the best format for showing the then and now.💕
@Ruben Daniel All is well … thank you 😊.
I do remember. What a great lineup. Sad to see how many have passed but i dont know what we'd expect! It's been ages even tho it seems like only yesterday.
Thanks for the good memories.
The 2015 picture is not Ben Powers. It is Julian Bond. This needs to be corrected.
Yo that’s what I was thinking!
Extensive casts members I always wondered what happened to them! You really went all out on this one! Thanks!
That was nice. Sad to see how many have passed away. Great cast
Mt favorite sitcom still watch them today. My condolences to all the families
Horace Julian Bond was an American social activist, leader of the civil rights movement, politician, professor, and writer. While he was a student at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, during the early 1960s, he helped establish the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.
This was one of my favorite shows growing up in the 70’s. So much laughter.😂
I was born in the building they show at the end of the intro song..I still watch Good Times❤️❤️
What’s the name of the building?
@@tanyabell-abercrombie3042 Cabrini Green..
That's not a 2015 picture of Ben Powers it's a picture of Julian Bond who died in 2015 as well.
Glad I wasn’t the only one that noticed it
Yes. They need to get it right.
My name is Ja'Net, I'm named for Miss Dubouis. Good times was My late mother's favorite show I'm almost 45. Thank you to the late Ja'Net Dubouis for my beautiful name. ❤️
Hello, i am Lars Skjold Hansen, a captain working with A.P.MØLLER maersk... i came across your page here through the CZcams suggestion so i thought to write to you. where are you from?
Write me when you can and do have a nice day and may God bless you
The after photo you have for Ben Powers is actually a photo of Julian Bond. A civil rights icon.
Exactly! No matter who or whom, shade or color; they WILL ALWAYS think we look alike. SMH 🙄
Just disrespectful. I miss seeing the thumbs down button. 👎
Makes me wonder how true the rest of this is.
@@cecelia8290 it’s not. Hal Williams is NOT dead
I grew up on this show. One of the best series yet!!!
I've seen some other pictures of Ralph Carter, and he hasn't aged well. He was the youngest of the kids, and he looks as old as they look.
RIGHT!! i'm 61 & i don't look like that.
Lots of drug abuse makes him look that rough
Thelma was my all time favorite. She was so pretty. I love the way she looked.
*Come through Judy Pace! 👌 Wow, she looks absolutely gorgeous to be 80. They ALL look beautiful! I miss this show.* 😢
I do too but you can always find it on CZcams
Great trip back in time. However the photo you're showing of Ben Powers as an older gentleman is that of the late Julian Bond.
THAT'S who it is..I was over here trying to figure out who that was if given only a few more minutes!!
Good time is a sitcom series from the 1970s. It starred Esther Rolle. This series that left unforgettable good memories, inviting viewers to laugh out loud. Perhaps that made the famous actors win the affection, love and appreciation of the audience. The characters will always be remembered for their comedic performances. Thank you for giving information about the life of the actors of this wonderful comedy series. Blessings.
It was supposed to Esther Rolles show, but Jimmie Walker took the spotlight from her. Jimmie Walker was the star.
@@josephclegg3562 Which caused the show to take a more comedic direction than had originally been planned. That's why John Amos left the show...he wanted the show to take on serious topics and social problems.
I have no idea what your talking about this show was the most depressing show ever, nothing good ever happened to the Evans family! Don’t get me wrong it was funny in its own way, but was the exact opposite of Happy Days.
@@hueyfreeman9297 That was what the shows whole focal point. Norman Lear was trying to show us the show could revolve around a black family being poor and living in the ghetto, and still be funny. It wasn't until the end of the series that something good finally happen to the Evans. They finally got out of the ghetto. I wished James had lived to see his family make it out of the ghetto after all those years.
This was a very depressing show.
You left out Oscar DeGruy who played Mad Dog and Douglas Grant who played both Sweet Pea and Eddie
Yessssss
You'd be remissed not to mention "Sweet Daddy" Williams..
What about Lennie in the fur coat?
What was so cool about shows of the 70s; they all had creative theme songs 🎵 the song at the end of the show was different then the song in the intro 🤗
Debbi Debbie what a double take on beautiful 😍 so many beautiful women of then and still going. Each character brought back some very strong nostalgic vibes! Nice video, and thank you.
They got Ben Powers confused with Julian Bond a civil right leader.
lol so hard I farted 😂😂ester rolard
I forgot about some of these cast members!! Thanks for the reminders.🥰
IKR ... I was shocked.
What a lovely walk down memory lane. Also an opportunity those who are dearly departed🙏🏿♥️🌹
Thank you for a walk down memory lane. Thelma still looks good.
Hello Wanda how are you doing hope you’re doing great with your family?
my grandmother used to watch this show she loved it❤ she was such a sweet old lady 🕊😢 hearing the theme song of this brings back so many memories.🥺❤
I cryed sooooo hard watching this. Soooo many great memories and individuals. Your channel is the BEST OF THE BEST ON CZcams
Exactly, did they think we don’t know who Julian Bond is?!!! Good lord….
All look alike
Good Times episodes are still on from 1970 it's definitely on every day I have Watch it every day 🧕
I don't why but even though I've never watched this show, it's like I'm seeing glimpses of my parents' childhood and youthful days. Those must have BEEN good times
I still love this show, and all the actors.
That was cool, I smiled through the entire review.
The Show Is Legendary!!!!I Love Them All!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇😇🥰🥰
Hello Kathy how are you doing hope all is well with you and your family?
This is great. Thank you!!!
There were definitely a few errors in this video. And a some non of the character descriptions were off probably due to the 70’s dialect. There’s were a few characters that had more active parts that weee left out but the stroll down memory lane that I experienced was worth the watch.
WOW! Glade I was a 70s Baby...... Sad how things are now like a different world.
THELMA is still GORGEOUS.
Used to watch this show as a little kid in the late 80s and early 90s.My dad was sure crazy about the Good times tv show and JJ was his favourite character
Good video. I don’t think I saw the character Alderman Davis nor Penny’s mother, Mrs. Gordon.
The older gentleman displayed in the photograph as Ben Powers; is NOT Ben Powers! The older man in the photo was "JULIAN BOND;" not Ben Powers. Sister Hasiah Drorah BahtYah
Loved this show. When watching my complete series set, I see so many contradictions, but who cares. Thanks for entertaining. Fly high deceased stars.❤️
Like what ?
What contradictions are so obvious that you see?
WOW❗Thanks for the trip down memory lane. And to think that some of the actors that starred 💫 on Good Times were also on Sandford & Son, 227, and Black Cinema.
💚💜💙❤
wow beautiful thank u soooomuch 4 posting
great video brother from the imperial co California..dynamite 👍👍👍🖐
As a member of the city that hosts the national black theater Festival, I have had the opportunity to meet all of the cast. Thelma, Bernadette is absolutely beautiful inside and out. Michael, Ralph is amazing. He really knows how to make people feel good. And OMG Papa James is the best! If any of you are lucky enough to interact with them I'm quite sure you will agree.
Do you know when the next festival will be?
The festival is always so fun.
Thank you for your hard work and research. Your video brought back many memories frlm my childhood. Thank you, thank you!!!
Well done Big Star-x 👍very informative video
I knew that thumbnail was deceptive. Stanis is destined to age well. I met her on the set of the Cosby Show and hung out for 3 days. She is one the sweetest people I’ve ever met. Truly beautiful inside as well as out.
Total clickbait.
The actress who was Kim is the same actress who was Tootie on the Facts of Life
Kim Fields later also starred as Regine in "Living Single."
Cheryl Keil, and Kim Fields' mom in real life, Chip Fields, was Penny's abusive mom on the show. Penny was Janet Jackson's character. Those were the good ole days, for sure. I still love me some "Good Times!"
Thank You So Much I was wondering!🌹
I used to watch the show. I didn't understand what the show was saying to America until I was an adult. This show was arguably one of the best on TV.
Excelente video 👍 👏
The comedy series of my life! “I’m just looking out of the window!” Looking for good times! ❤
Awesome job at research on this video! Thanks!
Very entertaining. Brings back lots of memories. Good job.
Excellent job! I would love to see a then and now on The Jeffersons cast or Sanford and Son Cast.
Soon...
I appreciate this information Rest in peace fam so many messages and tears watching the episodes definitely not forgotten.Thank you sir as well for bringing this content to us.Maryland showing a little ❤
I wondered what happened to many of these actors. Many went on to do other projects after Good Times than suddenly didn’t see them. Thanks!
Great show
Phillip Michael looks aoooooo good wow😩
Hello Kimberly how are you doing hope you’re doing good with your family?
THANX for Sharing!!!
Hello Charbee how are you doing?
OMG, this was soooo well put together and also VERY SAD, seeing my childhood brown people gone and passed away..............omg......(tears)..........RIP beautiful people, RIP.....
I was in loooove with Thelma!!!🥰😍😍🥰😍🥰
These were the “Good Times”. We could watch TV with most people not being offended!!!
So nice seeing them again...thank you🥲😍
Hello Faye how are you doing hope all is well with you and your family?
Loved this video! Shared with others!🤗🤗
LOVED THE SHOW! So many gone...rip
I did hear in real life that JJ was almost close to his actor dad's age.....had no idea he was 26 and James was 35 during the shows airing. R.I.P to all those actors who played on the show....I wonder what happened to the guy from the gang ....I think his name was "Maddog", and also the actor who was stealing Michaels lunch money. Great video.
Great information 👍 thanks for sharing.
Thank you I sure enjoyed that the videos were beautiful and so are my memories of good time it truly was good times thank you again
I used to watched this show when I was younger. There was a few shows that are for African Americans to watched in the 70’s and the 80’s that were good and even funny. I was watching What’s Happening on CZcams and I laughed at the wise cracks on that show. Yep. I’m a white person that likes these shows.
Hello Beth how are you doing hope you’re doing good with your family may God bless
Rest in peace to all the incredible actors that passed Love ❤❤
Remember those actors that passed rih God bless those still here with us
Hello Wanda how are you doing hope you’re doing good with your family?
You got a picture of Julian Bond that you say is Keith Anderson !
