The one "Good Times" episode that stands out, is the one where James Evans was suffering from hypertension. Quite dramatic.

He quit the show because he wanted his TV family to grow and do better, get out of poverty. The writers wanted the show to remain a comedy fearful they’d lose their audience so they killed him off the show.
