This should work for any number of columns:
Code:
awk -F, 'NR==1{n=NF} n!=NF{b=1;exit} END{print b?"Bad":"Good"}' infile

Version with return code:
Code:
awk -F, 'NR==1{n=NF} n!=NF{b=1;exit} END{exit b}' infile

---------- Post updated at 20:31 ---------- Previous update was at 18:40 ----------

Multiple files:
Code:
awk -F, 'function pr(){print f ": " (b?"Bad":"Good")} FNR==1{if(NR>1)pr();n=NF;f=FILENAME;b=0} !b && n!=NF{b=1} END{pr()}' infile*
