Nominated for three Golden Globes, Good Times premiered in mid-season 1974 to widespread critical acclaim and audience popularity. A spin-off of the Bea Arthur (of Golden Girls fame) sitcom Maude (1972), Good Times became the fourth of five highly successful sitcoms brought into being during the 1970’s decade by Norman Lear. In addition to Maude, those sitcoms were All In The Family (1971), Sanford & Son (1972), and The Jeffersons (1975). The second of three to focus exclusively on African-American family life, Good Times became a source for groundbreaking social commentary in compliment to its penchant for hilarious family comedy…

The Good Times (Season 2) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere “Florida Flips” in which Florida’s erratic behavior causes the family and her best friend Willona to question what’s wrong with her. Michael thinks that menopause in the root cause, while Willona thinks that it’s Florida’s boredom with the daily routine of being a housewife… Other notable episodes from Season 2 include “The Person I Most Admire” in which Michael is tasked with writing a school essay on the person he most admires, prompting him to choose between James and Florida, and “Florida’s Big Gig” in which James takes Florida along on a job interview where she’s offered the job instead of him…

With pets, old carpets, damp basement or even a smoker as an inmate, a house can be a virtual poisoning cell, with pollution upto ten times more than what you face outside. Therefore, a home air cleaner is necessary. However, it is best to buy ones, which offer a free trial period, since it is only then that you may gauge whether your personal requirements are met. The multiple technology home air purifier is definitely a better option, since it gives “more than your money’s worth”. It is always better to have a compact purifier in each room rather than a cleaner, which claims to cover the whole house. Furniture, walls and doors are huge obstacles and hinder efficient air purification. Ozone generators should be avoided since too much can prove to be an irritant.

Your home air purifier should be sleek and attractive with a good design and a variety of settings so it may be customized to meet your needs. Always remember to refrain from buying air cleaners that are not fully UL approved. It is difficult to pass the rigid UL tests. Some home air purifiers require frequent disassembling for cleaning. Those machines should be avoided as they expose you to periods of prolonged contact with these germs. A good air purifier makes a difference to everyday life. After using it, most people report to have more energy and greater work productivity, apart from sleeping better, breathing better and feeling a whole lot healthier.
