Critic Reviews of "Good Times - Season 1"
Minneapolis Star TribuneFebruary 18, 2021It does not appear to be sophisticated or provocative or challenging. But what the boys have done at Tandem is celebrate life. Everybody loves everybody so much it is a joy to behold.
Philadelphia InquirerFebruary 19, 2021Good Times, bolstered by charismatic characters and spiced by sexy and "soul"-slanted quips, looks like another Norman Lear winner.
Orlando SentinelFebruary 19, 2021Not much is allowed to get in the way of a "socially relevant" satirical swipe. Sometimes not even honesty.
Boston GlobeFebruary 18, 2021It has two great assets in Esther Rolle and John Amos as the sensible, likable parents and such an abundance of good cheer in adversity that they have to be winners in your heart, even though they are losers everywhere else.
St. Louis Post-DispatchFebruary 18, 2021If you accept the premise that poverty in Sanford's junkyard or Florida's housing project is largely fun, The Good Times is good entertainment.
Miami HeraldFebruary 18, 2021The series is cast in all too familiar mold, in spite of advance boasting that it would be biting, satirical comedy, and one-liner gags, however funny, do not such comedy make.
San Francisco ExaminerFebruary 19, 2021Quite entertaining and certainly different. Save for Barefoot in the Park, which quickly blew high, wide and then some, this' is our first situation comedy look inside a complete black family.
Pittsburgh Post-GazetteFebruary 19, 2021In remarkably short order all of these characters were introduced and sprang engagingly to life. I felt as if I'd known them for years.
Philadelphia Daily NewsFebruary 18, 2021There are funny lines, but most are the kind of stock gags you might expect from a series that relies on black stereotypes. If you don't find that offensive, you might find it annoying because such lines are all too predictable.
Tampa Bay TimesFebruary 18, 2021The one constant factor is marvelous Esther Rolle as Florida. One wonders why it took Lear so long to give her her own show. And John Amos... can match Miss Rolle for warmth, comic timing and, in this episode, slow-boil, fiery-eyed anger.
Paste MagazineFebruary 13, 2019As you get older you realize that, at its best, it's actually a pretty daring (and, at times, heartbreaking) show, finding humor and humanity in a setting that much of its audience was probably afraid of or depressed by.
PopMattersSeptember 14, 2018As on other Lear sitcoms of the early '70s with a decidedly liberal slant, current events and social issues were discussed by the characters on an almost weekly basis and were largely the source of Good Times' humor.
