Good Times | Michael Wants To Move Out | The Norman Lear Effect
bit.ly/NormanL...
Ain't no way this girl going all the way to Cabrini-Green to drop off some folder from school! 😅
You got that right! lol
@@crowsandravens8998 Like the other time when that sorority girl from the prep school that Thelma got a scholarship to also showed up at the Evans household! Come on!
I agree with you 100 percent 💯.
Y’all forget that Jay Jay (20) and Micheal (17) shares a pull out bed. That’s too old to share a bed with anyone!! It’s a miracle no one ever woke up bricked up with the other ready to throw hands.
@DaisyAppleJuice lol you said bricked up that's true though Micheal should've been able to move out but Florida blocked so many opportunities for the family
What about thelma and her man? Should they be gone too?
lol lol!
JJ is 20? JJ is probably 30 by this time.
LOL @ 'bricked up'!!!
Michael got himself a nice little snow bunny!!! That’s the best part about college 😋😇
She is always holding that family back by trying to keep them together
I have always said that, too 😂. I mean, I understood why, but... Damn, Damn, Damn - sometimes you have to do things differently 😂
This toxicity still exist in some families.
@@miami-blac do you mean Florida or thinking that keeping the family together was holding them back? I'm just curious 😊.
well seeing what happed after they met Cindy's parents, it turned out Florida was right.
Florida got on my nerves. She was ALWAYS DTM.
If your child wanna move out; let them.
IDC what her children wanted to do she disagreed.
Michael ain't no fool. He knows a good deal when he sees one. Bright young man with a promising future. Bye Mom!
He definitely a fool if he messing with a snow bunny during the early 70s 😂
Michael looks like he’s part of the Jackson 5 young Michael Jackson from the beginning good Times classic
That's true
Well, Penny was their neighbor at some point, so ya never know, lol
So did Janet Jackson
Michael's afro was flawless.
What? An afro is the very definition of a flaw. Note that 99% of them are done away with using various methods (braiding, covering up, etc.) and then deny it.
Nancy Morgan, "aka" Cindy in real life was 12 years older than Michael! She was older than Thelma and Keith! She is the first wife of the late John Ritter, and she had three children by him, Carly, Jason, and Tyler. She is now 75 years old.
Wow, she looked so young in this episode.
No way Becky walked through projects by herself to drop off a folder, lol
MAYBE SHE TOOK A CAB?
You could hardly blame Micheal though.
Seriously, it's fn Chicago
Why? Cause he got himself a White chick? 😂
@@TylerD288Michael had a Snow Bunny before it was a thing..
@@TylerD288
Yeah, that’s how he ends up like Emmett Till,
This is the 70s Micheal shouldn’t be near a young white woman, it’s survival.
Not against race mixing but if you are going to play in the snow have protection.
@@LoopyLemon775 oh c'mon! The 70's were much different than the 50's, big improvement, and this wasn't Mississippi.
Florida didn't want anybody to leave the Projects. She was probably still living there when they knocked Cabrini-Green down.
Remember when she made James return the money he found? Also when she kept him from taking the high paying job at his friend’s church because it was a phony church.
🤣🤣🤣😅
I'm dying 😂.
She did try and buy a house
⚰️😂⚰️
He said on the breakfast club they wanted him to have his first kiss with her and he told him no he would look like a hypocrite for kissing a white girl and he was pro black.
yeah no matter how bad things got, Michael would never live with a white girl.
To be fair, Michael was just two shades from being white himself.
@@dariog36th To be even more fair, those are the ones who helped advance civil rights and blacks the most
Nah he gey
@@LaCream973 LOL, I always thought he acted a little that way.
That IS too many people in that apartment though!
And they still struggle to pay the rent.😂
@@timbrown5576 Bruh! Im crying😭🤣🤣🤣
@@timbrown5576cause nobody had jobs😭
Except for the dad and mom😂
@@duffno1why u look familiar
@@trelljohnson9702 Im Rick James Bih!!!…
Just jiving, don’t take pero
Ralph Carter recent interview said he originally was supposed to kiss her but the script was changed because it would ruin his character.
Man, things were definitely different back then! Nowadays, the parents would help them pack...AND contribute!
She probably would if it wasn't a girl and if he wasn't living with people who would maybe try to tempt him for drugs etc.
Michael himself decided AGAINST this when he got a load of Cindy's parents and their attitudes.
Awesome. Why cant sitcoms today be so simple?
One of the funniest post-James episodes lol. Cindy's parents were hilariously cringe!
I agree, and JJ was actually very funny in this episode.
I wish they never got rid of James. It just threw the whole show off balance.
@@claytonmeredith7095same here
@@claytonmeredith7095They didn't fire him he quit. He didn't like the direction of the show and felt the JJ character got to much attention for being a stereotype.
@@claytonmeredith7095 true!
Florida wouldn't let anyone get above water.
when you actually watch the entire episode, it turns out Florida was right.
@@1talldaddywas the relationship a bad one
@@ashleyseay2871 no they met Cindy's parents and realized the only reason they liked Micheal was because he was from the ghetto and thought he could protect her robbers.
@@1talldaddy cause the writers wrote it that way. In real life everything would've been good.
She was right tho?
This is the 70s black people had to move smarter and she didn’t want her son to end up hurt messing with them you know who’s
HE GOTTA GROW AND ENJOY LIFE 🤷🏾♂️
Mom has the final say in the life of her un-adult son.
Nancy Morgan became Mrs. John Ritter. ❤
She married John Ritter? Then she became Mrs. NANCY Ritter.
Amy Yasbeck became the second Mrs. John Ritter.
Nancy is Jason Ritter’s mother
@@simonmarshall19 John Ritter constantly cheated on Nancy.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hcwell he certainly got his KARMA at the younger age of 54 ❤❤❤ .
This episode makes no sense. Not just because of Michael's history of being so pro-black, but economically how does Michael have the $ to split rent with one other person? Did he have a job in season 6?
NO which is why it made no sense
He doesnt
The average freshman doesn't have a job when they start college and aren't homeless. With financial aid you can either live at home, in a dorm, or your own apartment.
Maybe Michael saved up money over the years but not enough to rent an apartment on his own.
@@aph1976 there's an episode in that same season where everyone in the family put their money together in hopes of buying a house. I believe it aired after this one. I don't remember where Michael's share was coming from or how much it was but in season 6 I don't recall any other references to him having any source of income. Maybe he had a part time job to afford him some walking around money for dates clothes and small stuff but not rent too with only one other person. The writing was the worst part of this show- all over the place
PLEASE post the scene with Cindy’s parents😂😂😂😂
This one scene is funnier than most Tyler Perry sitcoms and shows on the CW.
I never knew Sigourney Weaver was in Good Times!
That's John Ritter's first wife, Nancy Morgan.
What killed me about this show was when people like her visited them, no way would a young white girl or pretty much any white person go into Cabrini Green in the 70s and especially the high rises, even cops didn't like going there.
yeah James.Florida and Willona laughed at the FBI when they expected a cab to come the projects at night.
Also the fact we didn’t get along with each other in general 😂
For good reasons…it’s starts with the letter D
If I would have told my mom at 17 I was moving out, she would have been like “ bout damn time”
You get comment of the day.
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was told that when I turned 18 that I didn't live there anymore. I was welcomed back for holidays though. I still lived there for parts of several summers though until I graduated school and got a real job.
And People wonder why black families aren’t close and the “community” is in the shapes it’s in. This comment shows it
Same. I moved out at 17 my mom wanted me to
Wilona😍😍😍
Yesssssss!
🔥 🔥 🔥
"I hear Penny calling me!"
Great show along with Sanford and Son
How many Beds...zzzzzzzzz? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I moved out on my own when I was 17.
Yeah, sometimes you just gotta go and do something different.
Florida did'nt want no one to move outta the ghetto, she would have been happy there with her family even today
actually, she did but every time they got one foot out the door something bad would always happen and they ended staying.
Florida had her morals first and foremost. And would never support her children doing something she wouldn't approve but she definitely wanted a better life for them out the ghetto.
Facts she tried to keep everyone in the ghetto even when James was alive. It was annoying
Florida needed all that water! One shock after another. Michael moving out at only 17. Moving in with a girl. Moving in with a white girl. Only one bedroom and only one bed! Oh but he's gonna sleep on the sofa. They're not romantically involved but they will be if they live together. I have no issue at all with the interracial thing though at this time it was still a bit of a shock for most people. How long will Michael be sleeping on that sofa?
It doesn't matter the color of her skin. Men and women should not live together unless they're married
When Ralph Carter was on the Breakfast Club, he said that in the original script he was supposed to make out with Cindy but he was against because of Michael's pro-black stance.
@@bhokelumumba5139 Yeah, I saw that, too. That was interesting to hear Ralph's perspective on the episode's alternative relationship between Michael & Cindy.
That doesn't mean that eventually it would've become some kind of relationship @@bhokelumumba5139
Michael wanted to hit!
He finna go give goldilocks that yellow hammer 🔨 😂
Can’t turn down that sweet white nectar
It’s not that great, for sellouts yes.
Yall full of it, nothing wrong with dating outside your race I’ll be with whoever I want
Wish James wqs still around to set things straight lol
Micheal was sleeping on the couch @ home so what was gonna change...???
Independence, Less people, a study buddy, and some in-house catnip, lol.

Ok I'm in..love good times damn sure wish we could all go back to the good times, good Ole days..Dallas TX In here
Florida was the real enemy all along 😂
Dammm dammm DAMMMM
I COULDN'T STAND Florida Evans in this episode!! She was waaaaaaaay to out old-fashioned, and out dated for me, (JMO)! RIP Esther Rolle
I'm sure Florida would have had the same problem if Thelma wanted to move in with a guy.
I couldn’t stand how many times she made James miss out on big paydays. Like when she made him return the stolen money he found. When he wouldn’t let him work at his friend’s church. And so many other times.
@@aph1976 actually she did have a problem when Thelma wanted to move in and then get engaged and then move to Africa with Ibe.
@@1talldaddy 🤣 I remember Ibe!!!
@@dariog36thActually that church was robbing people by performing fake miracles, didn't blame Florida for that one.
I truly thank God my grandmother was nothing like Florida
Wow, it just got real!
It should of been a full episode
You skipped the best part when her parents was there and keith did that dance😂😂😂😂😂
Those super pro black dudes always love snow white😂
Name one, that is a myth held up by entertainment.
@@fire418 bro I’m talking tv 📺 world 🌎 I don’t comment on Real People decisions that’s there busy.
Is pro black, anti white? Asking for a friend
@@georgelanders4271 no
Wonder what pro white means
John Ritter's first wife, Nancy Morgan. WOW !
Florida Evans was freaking annoying
Florida was a wonderful Mother. My mother thought just like her. My mother was about 15 years younger than her.
Your mother wasn't shyt just like Florida wasn't
@@angelminaj617
Why do you think florida was bad?
Explain
I love me some JJ . I just saw him at the la county fair
It would have been interesting if Michael had really moved out and they started a spinoff show with Michael and my new roommate at college. They definitely could not do a show with Michael and his female roommate in the '70's.
They'd make a great couple
Wonder what their kids would've looked like?
Ralph Carter said the writers wanted him to kiss this white girl in the episode
Ralph Carter put his foot down and said no because he didn't want to offend the black audience.
@@GeminiladyJackson-xq6hcPlus how Michael was so militant against white people in the beginning.
Are you here after the breakfast club interview ? Because I am lol
@a.b.sproductionsllc not against them exactly just against their racism tricks and bullshit.
@@cupcakequeenraven Yeah, me too. 🤣😆
This show wasn't the same without Mr. Evans!
Right. Mr. James Evans, Jr.
I mean, Sr.
But it was still good. JJ and Wilona still carried the show
@@angelminaj617 It was still a good show after he left. I give it a 7.5/10. With Mr. Evans, I give the show a 9/10.
I stop thinking Michael was a little sweet during this season!! LOL
Florida could've turned the color of a sheet
You're too young, you're only 17 years old. Cheese & Rice my parents were telling me it's time to go when I was 16 years old.
Especially black parents
@@username23156 Mostly because they don't want to be parents.
@@BlueRaven243 lol why?
I'm white/hispanic, my parents were like: "You're out at 18! Hope you made plans!" I was welcomed back for holidays though.
Florida and Willona should have switched roles.
Ok she Caucasian SO WHAT
This Norman Lear was before his time. Great man! He wanted Michael to kiss this girl but the cast said that Michael was a militant black boy and it wouldn't play well in the black community. I think the cast won out.
Florida always holding folks back… anything to move fwd she was against
she wasn't holding him back, Michael thought he knew what he was doing until he met Cindy's parent and realized he was better off staying at home.
It’s just a sitcom but let an intelligent character leave the ghetto on his own will.
Dealing with a serious topic and JJ still being a buffoon. Michael is the younger brother and he's way more mature than JJ.
LISTEN TO THE INTRO SONG. THAT SAYS "EVERYTHING" THAT ANYBODY NEEDS TO KNOW. KEEPING YOUR HEAD ABOVE WATER. MAKING A WAVE WHEN YOU CAN. TEMPORARY LAYOFFS. GOOD TIMES. EASY CREDIT RIP OFF. GOOD TIMES. SCRATCHIN & SURVIVIN. GOOD TIMES. HANGIN IN & JIVIN. GOOD TIMES. AINT WE "LUCKY" WE GOT EM. GOOD TIMES. NAW I AINT WIT THAT BS OR THE PEOPLE WHO WRITE THE BS
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…
you're right and the funny thing is they always had a habit of counting their chickens before they hatched and at the last-minute and things would always go wrong.
You must have never saw this show before. Everytime someone found a way to get them out, she had a problem with it.
@@angelminaj617 she had a problem with it because the way out usually involved sacrificing their integrity. Sweet Daddy, shady Alderman Davis, JJ’s criminal roommates, Thelma’s disrespectful roommates, Thelma’s African fiancé who wanted her to be one of many wives…all of these ways out of the ghetto would have caused the characters more pain and heartache than sharing an apartment.
Florida should mind her own business 😮😮😮😮😮
Lol
See how "parents" want to be the BOSS but don't want to PAY THE CO$T
1:56 Now you know that’s a real live studio audience and not a laugh track lol
James Evans Senior would've been ok with Michael moving out but not like that.
Amazing how closed mind Florida was, proud child in college but keep him tied to apron string,my mom was happy for me to spread my wings and leave
❤🎉😢😂😊🌹✌🏻
Atleast Michael wasnt no bunny hooper
I made that mistake when I left home woreser s mistake I every made I wish I listening 2 my mom but know it's to late I can't turn the clock back very good show
Cindy is played by John Ritter's first wife, who is also the mother of Jason Ritter.
Great show! Casting was perfect.
Is 17 old enough to sign a lease without a cosigner? If I was the landlord, I wouldn't go for it.🤷
The 20 year old was the one that should’ve been moving out
Y'all know this is fictional. We think much of this stuff when it first aired.
White people appearing on Good Times always fascinated me.
Florida was the worst character on the show 😂
nah she just wanted the best for her family.
@@1talldaddy nah she was Jealous because they had opportunities to leave and be away from her. She did NOTHING to improve their situation lol.
Florida was annoying at times😖
I disagree,
She was amazing
The girl Cindy was John Ritter's first wife..
Pro Black shouldn't mean Anti White.
snow bunnied!
Somebodies gene pool is about to get tainted…
mike abouts ta get that WP all day
Michael at 17 made that decision not to move
I forgot how cool JJ was.
I love Florida she reminds me of my mom
Mike had vegeta’s widows peak
Man this;would have been a great spinoff show!! Michael and the snow bunny!
👋🏻😎📺🇺🇸🎉
Too many people ? 5 people in the apt
Could you imagine James being a part of this conversation? Would he side with Florida or Michael?
He'd gave that laugh he give when he trying to be sly...A-Hey Hey Hey!
@YnotNomis And then Florida would give him a dirty look and then mock his laugh. I don't think James would do much to help Michael, he would have tried to talk to her but to no avail.
He would 100 percent side with Florida,
He of all people would know how dangerous it is for a black boy to be with a white woman during these times
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.
Where were her parents letting her in the slums.
🤣 Damn! She had to drop off a folder from school! 🤪
Florida was right.
Is this after James died?!
Thelma and wilona ❤
I don't understand. going to college was a big step. Children move out every day at that age going to college. Why couldn't Michael move out. The writer didn't want them to do better they wanted them to stay in the project. Look at The oldest daughter she got married and still got stuck in the project. The show is depressing. People are supposed to do better not stay in the same place. If you keep watching this you will never leave the projects.
Florida spent the whole 6 years trying to keep Micheal a baby.
nah the Evans kids always made poor choices when it came to living with people.
I would do it anyway would move out anyway
I would too! Florida the helicopter mom
Florida couldn't have cut the money off if he moved out. She didn't have any.
@@buicklincoln Florida never had any money either
