- TriviaBefore Broadway actor Ralph Carter assumed the role of "Michael Evans," another young Broadway actor Haywood Nelson had been hired for the role. According to Nelson in an interview, the producers felt Carter had more experience in front of a live audience, and thus hired him away from the play he was appearing in at the time, "A Raisin in the Sun." Previous to all of this, a young Laurence Fishburne was considered for the role as well.
- GoofsOver the years, Willona's ex-husband had 3 different names: Alvin, Ray, and Roger. He appeared in 1 episode, as Ray.

Featured review
The first time I saw this show was on my UPN (UPN Atlanta) and it currently airs weekdays at 11 PM. That's when I got hooked!!!
I bought the second season DVD (gotta buy the first one, I know!)
I love this show! It's hilarious and had good story lines!
The show lost some of it's touch after James died but I still like it.
Thelma's husband in the last season was annoying but, ehh...what are you gonna do?
It was the first show to ever portray a low class African American family. (most other like The Jeffersons and more recently The Cosby Show show the familes in a middle-high class status.)
I love this show (and I'm white) though whether you're white, black, Mexican, asian, or whatever I'm sure you'll love Good Times!
