He got hosed by the producers of Good Times. The show was supposed to depict a black family with a father, but they quickly firmed it into JJs circus. Amos constantly tried to maintain the original vision of the show, so the producers killed him off at the beginning of the 4th season.

"Good Times" was indeed a spin-off of "Maude", though several changes were made before the first episode of "Good Times". Florida was still Florida, but Henry became James and somehow they moved from suburban New York to Cabrini-Green in Chicago.

Maia Jones because the character on good times was originally supposed to be James black. Florida was to be Sadie black. However when Esther agreed to do the show which was originally called "the black family", she decided that she preferred to play Florida Evans on the black family as well. And the title of the show was also changed to " good times". Maude was used as the catalyst to introduce the show good times. It was agreed that taking the characters from more introducing them into the new project would be better. That is why it is still a spin off. A spin off doesn't mean everything has to be accurate but if there are elements from one project that are introduced into another world or universe, it is considered a spin off.

You may think the live studio audience was all white, not so, the audiences that attended these tapings ran a gambit, i know this for a fact, my eldest sousin did her Internship at CBS Television City, she worked on many of these Sitcoms, the Carol Burnett Show and a few of the Game Shows. In the 70's the audiences for Maude, All in The Family, The Jeffersons and Good Times were a thoroughly mixed group. Albeit, The Jeffersons and Good Times drew a largely black live audience, while the Jeffersons at times drew many whites in to the audience. People today have a deep misunderstanding about the 70's, there is more polarization right now in America than ever before.

He wasn’t saying anything “anti woman” he was specific. A Black maid is not progress from his perspective. I know it’s a script but it focused on Florida getting the last word because she was part of the cast and Maude was a woman’s themed show. If based in reality, a black man with two jobs supporting the family in the early 1970s who said he would move the world and work more hours to keep his Black wife from being a maid for white people would have been admired and respected. Imagine the maids from The Help being from James/ Henry’s and Florida’s families and they both knew all the humiliating moments plus endure the hours away from her own family. That’s an argument that never would have happened unless Florida had no problem missing J.J., Thelma, and Michael lol. Anyway kudos to Esther Rolle and John Amos getting it started in this clip/ special honors to the late James Evans for being the first example of a strong loving black father in a sitcom.
