Members DRW50 Posted March 12, 2013 Members Share Posted March 12, 2013 I thought they said that her second husband died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ReddFoxx Posted March 12, 2013 Members Share Posted March 12, 2013 Florida was brought back to the show and her second husband was never mentioned again. The producer for the movie is good and the writer seems like a good choice, so depending on casting, it could be a good movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted March 12, 2013 Members Share Posted March 12, 2013 I wouldn't say Florida was known for "sass." It's just laziness. These almost always suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted March 12, 2013 Members Share Posted March 12, 2013 I honestly don't see how they could make Good Times work in the present day. It was just so 1970s, every other episode could be played in a high school American history class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted March 12, 2013 Members Share Posted March 12, 2013 Oh no, another 70's tv classic to the big screen, it's gonna suck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted March 12, 2013 Members Share Posted March 12, 2013 They better not f*ck this up and make a mockery out of this legendary show. That's all I have to say. But can Hollywood do something original for once? Next they will be trying to All in the Family or Mary Tyler Moore for the big screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quartermainefan Posted March 13, 2013 Members Share Posted March 13, 2013 Other than the Brady Bunch movie, I don't know if any of the TV show to movies have been any good. Ok, Mission Impossible was a success. After that I got nothing. This movie will be awful just like all the others were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
