I mean, there's certainly nothing about Good Times to warrant the shrieks, guffaws, and general carrying on that greet the most innocent straight! ine during last Friday night's opening episode. Good Times is a weekly CBS situation comedy starring Esther Rolle as Florida Evans. Florida, you'll recall, was the black housekeeper on Maude until a few nighis ago when she quit to go back to Chicago with her husband and three kids. While Good Times is probably the most eagerly awaited new midseason series, the premiere was a brutal disappointment, a missed opportunity of the first magnitude. You see, it takes more than an audience carefully packed with "laughing paid flunkies, and producer's relatives to make a funny show.

If Good Times is to realize its potential as a family comedy show, serious flaws in the premiere are going to have to be worked out during subsequent episodes. A Major flaw in Good Times is Jimmie Walker, who plays 17 year old J. J. Walker is an obnoxious, would be scene stealer who needs a crash course in Laying Back for Fun and Profit. He tries entirely too hard and gives the show a vaudeville skit aura as a result.

When Walker delivers a line or reacts to someone else's dialog, he mugs, winks, leers, struts, drops his jaw, rolls his eyes, and does everything but the Ali Shuffle to gain attention. His is the posture of an overbearing jackass, and the producers would do well to straighten him out in a hurry or reduce him to mere walkthroughs each week. By JAY SHARBUTT AP Television Writer There's a new half hour comedy series that bears watching on CBS TV tonight. It's called "Good Times" and has all the earmarks of a hit show, especially in pace and writing. It's about a family of poor blacks in Chicago and, as Florida Evans, a main character, promptly noted last week at the start of the proceedings.

"This family ain't Ozzie and Harriet." No indeed. There's a great deal more spark and life in this television version of a ghetto clan, even though their ghetto apartment is a great deal less weary looking than the real McCoy. I SAVE 38'! The show stars Ester Rotle and John Amos as Florida and James Evans, a husband and wife combination that first appeared in the hit "Maude" series. The premiere, like most of those in "Maude" and other series by the production company of Bud Yorkin and Norman Lear, treads the thin line between sorrow and laughter with a caring step. You'll also see some deft comedy acting, particularly by Jimmie Walker, who plays the larcenous 17 year old.

If he keeps it up, he's in dire danger of getting arrested for pilfering scenes.

Congress Slates Radio TV Hearings NEW YORK tfi On Feb. 20. a congressional committee will start hearings that eventually could lead to live radio and television coverage of those great debates everyone reads about but rarely sees or hears the verbal wars in the House and Senate chambers. It's an idea that's kicked around for years, yet in this era of the electronic journalist, neither the House nor the Senate is allowing live broadcast coverage of its floor debates. The Joint Committee on Congressional Operationas.

which will hold the coming hearings, began studying the matter last year. It recently gave Congress a report that said when the President speaks, he readily gets national broadcast coverage) when Congress speaks, its impact is frittered away in the broadcast shuffle. It said Congress should explore ways to get its views across more fully to the public and hopefully fis media access problem thai "poses a serious threat to the balance of powers between the branches of the national government."
