Oh but he's gonna sleep on the sofa. They're not romantically involved but they will be if they live together.

It’s just a sitcom but let an intelligent character leave the ghetto on his own will.

Tell Em Florida! I'm surprised at Michael with his revolutionary spirit and his knowledge of Black History. Common sense should kick in here where he could conceive what could happen between a man and woman in such close quarters; regardless of their belief in preservation and disbelief in Miscegenation.

I am shocked by these comments about Florida not wanting anybody to move out. She wanted her family to get their education, find jobs and move out. James left for a better paying job and we know what happened there. JJ, Thelma and Keith should have been gone, especially JJ. Those who watched the show know what happened with Thelma and Keith and we know how the show ended. The point of Good Times was to give audiences who weren’t familiar a glimpse at the struggle and to give audiences who were familiar some hope. You can have a loving, healthy family, be poor, but not stay poor. Now, we also know about show business and how dirty that can be, but we won’t discuss that here…
