Description: Good Times is an American television sitcom that aired for six seasons from February 8, 1974, to August 1, 1979. Good Times was a spin-off of Maude, which itself was a spin-off of All in the Family, arguably making Good Times the first television spin-off from another spin-off. Good Times also was television's first African American two-parent family sitcom. The teenage son of the family, J.J., routinely delivered his signature catchphrase when something was to his liking, which was dynamite, pronounced like dyn-o-mite. The catchphrase became synonymous with the character and the actor that portrayed him, all while becoming a pop culture phenomenon of its own.

The text “Hold Me Closer” arcs across the top in bold, distressed yellow letters, giving the piece a playful wink to the humorous misheard lyric from Elton John’s Tiny Dancer. The overall design blends pop culture charm with a timeless, lighthearted vibe.
