Good Times | Thelma's Pregnancy Announcement | The Norman Lear Effect 

R.I.P Esther Rolle Ja'net Dubious and Ben Powers

“If it’s a girl we gone be aunts!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Proudest family moment for Florida becoming a grandmother and moving up moving forward thinking back to wish James was there for that happy moment

As soon as Thelma got lightheaded the audience knew what was up.

They came up And got out the ghetto And ended up still together Beautiful

It's unfortunately James was killed off the show,he would have estatic about bring a granddaddy.

They really looked out for Keith, He went from Riches to rags and back, but the love was real! I love how they had a happy ending.

If only James was around to hear the announcement of Thelma pregnancy he would've been happy.

"And I'm gonna be a grand booga." I was weak 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I loved this moment. Florida was a hard working & praying woman and she deserved the BEST! I hate that James got killed he was a very devoted father as well.

Too bad Good Times didn't stay on the air well into the 1980's. We could have enjoyed watching them finally live the good life 🧬 with no more struggling.

Love how jj stepped up and helped out when James passed

The final episode was beautiful. It does _not_ get talked about enough.

I wish James would have been there to experience it ♥️😢 He would have been so happy to be a grandfather.

JJ still cracks me up with the Aunt line.

Even though I hated when they lost James, and the fine actor who played him, this show ended just right!

The only and final episode that fit the name of the sitcom - Good Times. In its entirety, Florida and Willona learned that they were gonna remain neighbors at their new residency. It ended with the two best friends happily hugging each other😊

Keith’s reaction still cracks me up and I have seen it a bunch of times!!!

#1) I would have love to see Thelma have the baby, announce it was a boy and give him her father's name, James, as possibly his middle name. #2) Life was much simpler back then. $60,000 was a lot of money back then but now it's not worth much at all today. 😥

Wow this was great moment. Everybody doing their own thing n moving out of the projects. Also the fact that thelma was pregnant is a great moment also

Love this episode in that FINALLY this family was given a break and progressed upward and onward. Even JJ was financially stabled to find him a place of his own and Micheal in college. Glad Lear exposed Monte’s and Evans creative vision.

I love this episode when they all move up and I wish it was another part , love the part when Thelma ask her mom to move in.

RIP BEN POWERS, ESTER ROLLE, AND JANET DU'BOIS

1:15- Mike's reaction to JJ's idea of getting free tickets to the football game was priceless!!!

Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning! Psalm 30:5

James would've been here for this magical moment to become a grandfather

James should had been there to share in the news!

This show taught me a lot it loves taught understood at Joy through the good and bad times it's so much that it brought into lives of different homes and families

There will never be a show as Grand as real and his down-to-earth and true Delight is that show always was

Ben Powers was a tall and handsome man😍 may he Rest In Peace 🙏🏾

I always wondered if the Evans family ever learned to lock their front door in their new place.

This is the best ending of a series I’ve ever seen in my life. Blessings on blessings! Everyone had good news to share.

The show was never the same after James was removed from the show

Thanks for all you've done for television, Mr. Lear. "Good Times" is one of my all-time favorite shows. I wish we could buy it in HD. 🤩

I remember that day when she got from that she was pregnant I just wish her dad that she was here he would have been a grandfather I remember that I love that show

Florida, Willona, Penny and Thelma has the best and beautiful dresses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Late 70s and early 80s ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

They messed the faint scene up, they didnt give her a chance to almost faint before they reacted and her mom yelled her name lol

I felt awful when Keith died in real life, and way too young.

I would have laughed my ass off if Penny would have said and I'm gonna be the one in Control. Que the music..

Bookman asked a legitimate question though 😂😭😭

they all finally got out of the projects to a better life

James Evans should've been here for this moment 😔

A shame James wasn’t even mentioned.

Shoutout to the original creators of this show: Eric Monte (born Kenneth Williams and Mike Evans. 😎💯💙

Florida deserve this good news especially after what happened to James

On behalf of James Evans Sr. HAVE MERCY!!!😂

Keith was a good addition to the show 😭 He was hilarious

Ya gotta love sitcoms. Everything happens at the same time! The Ultra-Mega-Super Happy Ending!

Here's an odd idea: instead of killing off James, have him find a job in Alaska or in the south, where he strikes it big and becomes super-rich. Then he comes home to his family a huge winner. But instead of moving his family out, he rallies a bunch of people to invest in the projects. Over time, the projects transform from a ghetto neighborhood into one of the top hotspots in Chicago. The point: instead of moving to a nice, posh neighborhood, James Evans practices what he preaches: remembering and respecting where he came from, and paying it forward. Instead the Evans family turning their backs on the ghetto, they revamp it into a thriving region that becomes envy of Chicago. Kinda like what Captain Sisko did on Star Trek: DS9. When he got there, it was a run-down, abandoned worthless outpost. In a short time, he turned it into one of Starfleet's leading outposts.

I grew up with them. Much love, always!❤

Call it what you want but if James kept that 29k he found and Florida did that commercial years ago they would have moved on up a long time ago.

Keith eventually lost his job to Walter Payton.

I loved this happy ending

60K, haha. wow, times have changed. As of 2019, The minimum annual salary for a rookie active roster player with a one-year contract is $480,000, according to the collective bargaining agreement the NFL signed in 2011 with the NFL Players Association, which will be in effect until 2020. That minimum increases for each year a player spends in the NFL.

they should of had a good times reunion show like 10 years later like a christmas special with jj and michael married with children

Incredible ensemble performance. Missing in today's so called entertainment

They made it out! Thank God!

Great episode. This was the 2nd to last episode taped. They must have known the show would be cancelled. Everything for everyone went too good at the same time.

This show is real teachings and blessings. ❤

FLO: JJ , why are you moving out? JJ: mom , I’m 42 years old and I’m too old for the pullout couch

They could have had Wilona's dude Frank show up and she FINALLY agree to marry him !

Even though there moving on up it's sad that the show ended.

They all loved and well missed God bless them all and Family😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

The way Keith jumped up, leaving Thelma hanging LITERALLY never fails to tickle me fr🙌🏾🤣🤣🤣🤣💚

Why would you ask a grown man why he’s moving out of your house????? Stop babying men.

Once John Amos left the writing went to shit. It suffered the same way Three’s Company did when Suzanne Somer left and Alice did when Polly Holiday left.

This was a ground breaking show and I absolutely love it! 👏 Dyn-o-mite!!

I was so happy they all made it out of the ghetto. Norman wasn't so bad afterall

Watching this and realizing that I would be the same age as their baby, now. 🤣🤣🤣

This shows how faith in God is. Florida kept her faith in the One True God Jehovah throughout the storms and finally the rainbow came.

Good to see this finally ended on a good note. They all moved up

I loved this show!!

Should Flo had read between the lines when Thelma told her "it's gonna blow your mind" between her and Keith.

I didn't know Ben powers died

Esther Roll's hair doo was at it's best in this episode.

Best sitcom ever

"And I'm gone be a grand booga!" 😂😂😂

Personally the remake done of this show last year was horrible. The original episodes can never be replaced this show is a classic sitcom

I'm gonna be a Grand Booga. lol

And the think ironically the struggle continues

Keith was scraping Thelma back out

In this last episode they could of show the place where they was going to move at then we could see that they made it.

I love this show so much❤️❤️❤️

Keith almost dumped her on the floor 😂😅

Let this episode be a reminder that we can all make it to the end of the rainbow

Does anyone know where I can find the entire scene?This is missing at least 2 minutes at the beginning and 1 1/2 minute at the end.

Cut before best part.

3:13….LOL

We can be Aunts..😂😂

I’ve watched Good Times all the time when I was younger, but I haven’t watched every single episode. Was this really the final episode?

I'm gonna be a grand Booga 🤣😭🤣

i hated keith 😭

R.I.P Ben Powers

God bless you ❤

I love this show ♥️♥️🙂

I love this show my mom and dad love this show too

They should have done a spin off.

This was a touching episode as always! I wanted to marry Keith!

She said baby and he ran

Moving on up!
