Dyn-o-mite series at a dyn-o-mite price!
Trying to bid or buy for the series by the season can be very costly and time consuming, to say nothing of aggravating. I purchased this set recently and am very pleased! It is compact with all the discs housed in one box. The quality of the discs are excellent and I only noted a slightly hollow, echoing sound on a couple of the episodes. The color is excellent and I'm not seeing any of the graininess I've seen on a couple of the TV series I've purchased in the past. The only drawback is that all the discs are stacked upon one another in a plastic case. A little tender loving care will prevent scratches. An excellent buy for the money!
Still love this show!
Brings back fond memories of a simpler time in my childhood. Those were the days when every red-blooded boy of African descent knew in their heart of hearts that when we grew up, we were gonna become rich just so we could take Thelma out of the ghetto...then Keith showed up & ruined our plans.
Seriously, it was always a great show, and i do understand some of the things that upset John Amos and Esther Rolle enough to leave the show (it appeared that those of our persuasion were almost always the subject of buffonery, even when tackling the serious subjects Good Times touched on over the years), but what i never did understand was the backlash that occured in later years, where people associated with the show developed shame because of it. This show was nothing to be ashamed of, not even the bug-eyed clowning of J.J.
Regarding this release, it's all here! J.J. drug-addicted fiancee, pregnant girlfriend (by somebody else), and V.D. scare (look for a youthful Jay...
Great to have the whole series in one box!
I felt compelled to do a review because of some of the complaints about the packaging. The whole idea is to be able to own the entire series at a reasonable price, and that means compact, no frills packaging. I am very pleased with my set. The discs are nicely stacked (on a spindle) and secured in the box. If you are careful with your DVDs, you won't have a problem. It's also a good idea to keep the cardboard cover on the discs for added security if you aren't going to buy sleeves.
The inside has the title of each episode listed for every disc. There is no synopsis, but if you are a fan of the show the titles give the hint you need in most cases. You can get a complete description of every show just by going on the internet, and then print the episode guide from the site you like best. Doesn't seem like much effort to me.
I wish Sony would do everyone a favor and do all their series like this, especially the ones that apparently aren't going to be finished (The...
