About Maude: Gutsy, smart, outspoken, and liberal -- all are terms that describe Beatrice Arthur in the title role of the TV series that spun off from the popular All in the Family. Well-educated and upper-middle-class, Maude Findlay is the archetypal feminist of her generation. She lives in suburban Tuckahoe, New York, with her fourth husband, Walter (Bill Macy), their divorced daughter, Carol (Adrienne Barbeau), and grandson Phillip. The cast also includes Rue McClanahan as Maude's best friend Vivian; Walter's best friend and neighbor Dr. Arthur Harmon (Conrad Bain); and over the course of the series, three different maids (Esther Rolle, Hermione Baddeley and Marlene Warfield). Tough issues like abortion, alcoholism, women's liberation, menopause and politics are all fodder for the show's sharp wit and social commentary.
About Good Times: Life in the Chicago projects is never easy, however, the Evans family never gives up trying to make the best of things.

Interestingly, there was no mention of Maude, nor the Evans family ever having lived in New York, when Good Times came on the air. And Henry's name was changed to James. So was Good Times technically a spinoff?

@MichaelBradley1967 2 жыл бұрын

No doubt in my mind. Same characters basically. They tend to change little things from introduction episodes, and even from pilot, to first episode.

@mariahyohannes 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, there was probably no mention of Maude because they made Florida a housewife and chose Chicago because their housing projects in the 70's were much rougher and they wanted to put an emphasis on the Evans family being poor.

That was awesome. I don't see this on TV anymore. Human comedy with generous doses of humble pie. No one tells "The New Girl" that she has lower standards for her black students. No one confronts her prejudice or any of the others. They just get to feel good about themselves. There are a plethora of unchallenged white messiahs. I suppose these were the conversations the country was having back then. I don't think we're having these conversations anymore. Lots of conceit to go around.

I think norman lear should have transition ed the evans w at least mentioned there kids into the chicago area. On one episode before good times started there florida implied and henry wanted to start a new life.. the spin off transition was not like gomer pyle andy griffith..or peticote junction green acres... think it could have been a better transition. At the time people where confused. I remember the pilot episode of good times and for a few minutes i thought i was watching maude. I never hered them ever mention the kids. Is there a reason they did not call james henry? In good times.
