James Evans, Sr.: How was that date you had last night, Willona?
Willona Woods: Ahhh, that's what I wanted to tell you about... six-foot-2... shoulders out to here... and a smile that lit up the night!... And he mugged me! I tell you, the way my luck is running I'm thinking of joining a monastery.
Thelma Evans: A convent, Willona. Only men go to monasteries.
Florida Evans: Quiet Thelma... Willona knows what she's saying.

Featured review
Good Screaming
In general I enjoyed watching Good Times. I didn't always agree with the liberal ideas or the political agenda of the series, but we overall I found it entertaining. However, one thing that bugged me was the constant arguments and the screaming and yelling. For some reason tv writers seems to think that yelling is funny. Good examples of these yelling shows, The Honeymooners, Sgt Bilko, All In The Family, etc. Maybe I am the weirdo, but yelling and screaming and arguing are not funny! Gives me a headache. Evidently the cast of this show had off screen issues, especially between the actors playing the parents and Jimmy Walker and sometimes you can notice the distain on the faces. Oh well, nothing earth shattering here.
