Good Times

From Monday Madness::

1. What was your favorite TV show(s) as a child?

When I was a child, I was a major watcher of all of the African-American (black) comedies. What’s Happening! tops my list as my all-time favorite African-American-based comedy. Other shows that I watched faithfully when I was young include Good Times, The Jeffersons, Sanford and Son and probably one of the most underrated black comedies of the '70s, That's My Mama.

2. What show(s) did you hate?

The only shows I hated when I was younger were the 6 p.m. local news followed by the 6:30 p.m. national news. My mom forced us to watch these programs because she wanted to balance what my brother and I were watching on television. Every once and a while, my mom would also flip the channel and turn it to an educational program on PBS and force us to watch it.

3. What show(s) did your family gather around the TV to watch?

We would always gather around the TV for Soul Train.

4. What show(s) is currently your favorite?

The Shield, Chappelle's Show, MTV’s The Real World and all of the Law & Order shows.

5. What show(s) do you hate now?

Almost all of the "Reality-TV" shows including American Idol, Average Joe, Survivor, etc.

Holla!

I always sing the theme song of 'That's my momma' to my own momma when I am in a good mood... I know she hates my off key singing...

And I miss Esther Rolle from 'Good Times' she was the consumate TV mom in my opinion, even better than Phylicia Rashad... I honestly believe Florida loved those kids and James...
