Cover since she was the maid and basically was more of a friend to Maude than a Maid?

Florida Evans should DEFINITELY be on the cover. From what I remember she was a very important character on the show and became close friends with Maude from 1972-74.

Can't remember, was Arthur and Vivian on the first season or did they come later?

I remember Vivian being in season 1, but i'm not sure about Arthur, I don't think he showed up until season 2.

Yes, Florida should be on the cover. It might also help promote the show more and diehard fans of Good Times may want to pick it up too to see Florida on a different show. But we will be lucky if we receive a season 1 release with just Bea Arthur on the box!!! :rolleyes:

I think i would be Maude, Walter And Carol on the front cover. And Philip, Vivian and Florida on the inside

I want a cover with the entire cast. Vivian wasn't a "star" until season 3, but Arthur was all along. Rue McClanahan was first seen in Maude's Abortion. Originally, Norman Lear was going to have Vivian have an abortion, but felt the audience wouldn't care enough.

Cover should have
Maude (Bea Arthur)
Walter (Bill Macy)
Arthur (Conrad Bain)
Carol (Adrienne Barbeau)
Florida (Esther Rolle)

Probably no Vivian

I think it would just be best to have Maude appear alone for the first release on DVD on the front Cover. For some reason I can't see Maude/walter and Carol appearing on the Cover as a Family-lol

Well I cant see them as a family like say, the Bunkers or the Huxtables
same for the Jeffersons

and definitely no philip on the cover

but i still think all the cast members should be on covers

Florida would probably be left off the front cover since she was only seen occassionally throughout season 1
