'Maude' had a spin-off by the name of 'Good Times' that starred Esther Rolle as Florida Evans (Maude's old housekeeper) and her family James, J.J., Thelma, and Michael. Florida and her family lived in the ghetto and just trying to make ends meet. James had many jobs but had to deal with layoffs, unemployment as well as other issues that affected his family. As in the other two series this show was generally depicting what life in the mid to late seventies was like for the Negro or Black community. J.J. was an artist portrayed by Jimmie Walker and his famous line "Dyn-o-mite!" Thelma was into fashion and Michael was the political activist of the family. I really liked this show and watch the reruns even today when I can find them. There are a lot of lessons that one can still learn from this old show today.
