- The ill-conceived Good Times animated reboot / sequel is getting SLAMMED by the very demographic it was designed to appeal to. Why this Seth MacFarlane-produced series even exists is a mystery.

Cleveland can't be voiced by a white guy, but Seth MacFarlane can make THIS? Like... WTF.
MacFarlane is a moron who thinks he is an intellectual giant.
The problem isn't who created it. Seth should be allowed to create what he wants. The problem is it's terrible and missed the target audience mark.
The problem is when they try and justify a black Cleopatra/Little Mermaid but lose their collective sh*t when a white guy voices a black guy. It's either all fine or none of it is.
Don't forget Apu as well.
Some grade A bull shit
Double standards.

African-American: *glares at Netflix for their ignorance*
Many people, including fans of the original series are taking this to the BBQ!
As a Black men myself, this "reboot" is nothing but reinforcement of bad stereotypes. Also the producers didn't even do their homework on the original show. In the final ep of the original series, the Evans moved out of the projects (which was demolished years ago).
But while many in Black America are planning to boycott Netflix over this, they should be boycotting most of Hollywood as this is how most of the folks running it view us.
It is pretty sad that they would boycott over this, but all continued paying netflix for cuties.
@@shocktnc not really. most people care more about their issue than you issues.
which is to say, they boycott when THEY are offended, not when YOU are offended.
if you were not a pedo, you would never even have watched the show about children twerking, so you would not be offended by it unless you are told about it by conservatives that watched it many times in slow motion to get all the offensive parts.
as a black person, you might have watched Good Times expecting something not offensive.
in the same way the MS Bike A thon people and the Susan B Kommen ribbon people don't care about each other, everyone doesn't care about your pet issue.
it is pretty normal.
@@shocktncthat show was gross but no one watched it. Also, Netflix didn’t make Cuties, they just had it on the platform
@@theoverunderthinker
Conservatives didn't watch Cuties - they heard about it from Libertarians who discovered it and complained about it.
Cuties was only meant for Hollywood, but Netflix made it available for everyone.
As for the rest of your reply - that's exactly why things are continuing like this. People only care about their one issue, without noticing how the sickos are coming for everything eventually.
This "Good Times" show was made by a racist that thinks he's doing good, and nobody has stopped him yet, so he'll keep going.
@@shocktnc who cares about cuties
Boondocks and Black Dynamite are still the gold standard.
God damn Black Dynamite is such a good show! I even think it's superior to the movie.
Damn straight!
Man, I remember watching Black Dynamite on Adult Swim with my brother Tyler when we were teens.
Black Dynamite was AMAZING.
@@HoundMonkey He was awesome
French Prince of Bel Air had incredible messages about how being black is part of what one is, not all that one can be. Every little thing coming out of Hollywood and other big studios try to twist that good message to make it all about race.
Ever seen the episode where Hillary had a White boyfriend?
@@Standefiant Wasn't that Janice? But yes, nice that it showed that prejudice can come from more than one side.
I thought that show had incredible messages no matter what your race was.
Reboots of black shows hated by black viewers are a trend in Hollywood.
WHO RUNS HOLLYWOOD?!
Or a movie for black people hated by black people.

Except smiling they could punish white people then got upset they now have to stay in their lane and screaming oppression
facts
Very true. I love the original and this is like a stab too the heart!
Who thought this was a good idea I mean, serious question who thought this was a good idea?
The PJ's is closer to Good Times than this atrocity.
The PJ’s was a good show
Bebe's Kids, by the late Robbin Harris, deserves more recognition than it ever got when people are still stealing jokes over 3 decades later. Tone Loc doing the baby's voice added humor to this whole joke, and it was about pointing out the absurdity.
Both are great shows that depicts real bLK people!! Very tamed from bLK music and bLK reality tv! Yet nobody is bothered by that. They are only bothered because the media told them to be upset because they believe it was created by a YT person when it was not. It’s how ignorant they are
Also, you wanna bet like Velma this was probably something else and was supposed to be a tax write off?
When I first heard of this monstrosity, I immediately thought that this is Velma 2.0. Get the buzz going. Get people to talk about it despite it being 99% negative. Get people to hate watch every episode to see how much worse it can get and continue the Internet buzz on every platform including CZcams - albeit condemning it. Remember, publicly is publicly no matter if it's good or bad. Same with clickbait & rage bait videos. Numbers add up - get the money and/or the notoriety regardless of the content.
@@Attmay
Literally culturally destructive/corrosive. I mean Velma is just hurting pop culture this show is literally harming an entire community/race.
Remember when the Cleveland Show was called racist? This is Seth MacFarlane saying "Hold My Beer"
This is Seth McFarland saying "Hold my 40 ounce malt liquor"!!!
i honestly like the cleveland show. the animated goodtimes looks like an exhausting travesty.
Saying hold my beer to himself is next level beer holding.
Cleveland Show was racist. Racist lite. This is overtly racist
I don't remember being The Cleveland Show being called racist and I didn't see it as such. But thanks for making it worse, critics. You created a monster.
I saw tons of people on Twitter calling this show a modern-day Minstrel Show and that is painfully accurate.
Sadly yes.
I made it through about 10 minutes of the first episode before I called it quits. I really tried to like it.
White Liberals are the most racist people walking around today.

What does Mistral show mean
"Good Times" had Janet Jackson, but "What's Happening" was a lot more fun.
I still love the episode where Rerun joined the cabbage cult!
@@ClownfishTV Janet Jackson was also on Fame and Diff'rent Strokes. Control was actually her 3rd album her first two were recorded in 1982 self titled and her second album was released in 1984. Both albums have Michael and Jermaine doing backing vocals. Joseph Jackson was the producer. 😀🎧🎤👩🎤
@@ClownfishTV I forgot about the Cabbage Cult. That was pretty brave TV since Jonestown was still fresh in a lot of memories.
The Netflix show actually had a joke about Janet's "Super Bowl Nip Slip."
@@ClownfishTV That was the BEST episode! My brother and I still reference it every time we see like religious fanatics anywhere. And how stone cold dead on it was with that mentality.
So the VA for Cleveland Brown is "problematic" and disrespectful to black people, yet this is fine? The sad part is that there are black people whom legitimately thinks Cleveland Brown VA simply existing is more degrading to their kind than the likes of Good Times reboot and the latest Proud Family...
Was it really black people making a stink about it or was it just some bullshit white liberal activist group?
The Littlehats greenlit this. But yet, they always want respect from everybody. They greenlit this and had an active part in it. Stephen Curry should be ashamed of this nonsense too. He is weak
Those same black people have said the same thing about nearly everything that involves things they don’t like. This includes black properties created by black people. They look for any reason to disassociate it from the black community which is what they did with The Magical Negroes movie despite a black man writing the book and writing and directing the movie. As soon as they found out he was half white, they acted like he wasn’t half black too.
These are also the same people who believe ROOTS is an important story about slavery and not largely plagiarized from a white author and likely not to have happened as it is nearly impossible to be able to trace family history that detailed all the way back to Africa.
@@leileyaravencroft
I mean the problem is people do not like having things explained to them, in great detail, like at all. I for one wouldn't in any way defend magical negroes that movie sucks (and it apparently sat on the shelf for 3 years or something before they actually finally put it out) but I will say there's a real level (surprise surprise in this day and age) of hypocrisy and self-loathing within the community and it's just a shame to see because most everyone can agree that things like Black Dynamite and especially The boondocks were absolutely incredible and were peak. Things like that I just don't feel like can be made anymore. When you see stuff like this and you think this is where a bunch of money was spent you really realize what a lost cause the mainstream is these days.
I don't know who in the hell is saying that this garbage is perfectly fine. The only ones trying to put a positive spin on this POS are those involved in the making of this. Trust me, there aren't many who are on board with this - especially those who are familiar with the original series.
As I remembered, the Evans family ended their story in a positive light.
1) Thelma is pregnant with Keith healed up from his knee injury and got a renewed football contract and are moving in a much better neighborhood.
2) Michael is off to college.
3) JJ finally got a job in ad firm promoting a successful female cartoon character, based on Thelma, that he created.
4) Malona and Penny moved near Florida or Thelma (I think).
5) AND Bookman is still BUFFALO BUTT.
They were all doing well in the finale.
we can't have black people doing good, they risk losing their victim cards and we can't allow it
I feel like the painfully accurate part about that is that there are many successful black people that let their riches and children's inheritences slip away due to poor financial literacy. It's a problem only the poor want fixed now.

@@melanatedgod5337 Got it. My bad.
@@Jukinj94 what? 😆
The Evans moved out at the end of the original series. This is a travesty.
I haven’t seen this but it sounds like this is a try hard version of the Boondocks.
Boondocks was wonderfully offensive in its own way, but Kneon hit it right on the head: The show wasn’t mean spirited at all times.
The original good times was a show that focused on poor black folk, but it had universal appeal that poor people (and other people) could relate to.
First 3 season were satire last season was full of either parody or stereotypes
@@joscar062
What's sad is if this had been done right it could have shown how far we've come and how much better things are now and had some significant social message.
Instead it just demonstrates how much better a show with all it's flaws was from the 70s than a piece of crap show from current times.
@@joscar062 Agreed, I only recognize the first three seasons as canon 😂
The second i looked at it, saw the title and the look, I knew this was going to be soooo bad. I'm not that old, I'm late 20s, but I saw the reruns and nostalgia channels that ran the oldies like Good Times. Just the fact every last one of these characters aren't any way close to original family in design was more than enough for me to scroll by to a K-Drama.
You really do have to appreciate the fact this is coming from Netflix.
You know the company that likes to virtue signal at every chance it gets and then it cranks out a piece of crap like this. It shows just how hollow their words truly are, and how little meaning is actually behind anything they say and their performative outrage over things that are nowhere near as bad as this show is.
I grew up watching the same shows with my grandmother. These shows did more for breaking down barriers and helping people to realize that we are all humans with varying opinions and ideals but share the same flaws as everyone else. We may have different ways of showing them but at the root we are all human.
The problem is that now we have people who haven't shared any of the struggles the everyday person goes through and strives to overcome, but feel they are justified to tell us how we should act and who we should demonize so they can feel better about themselves not even trying to overcome anything.
As I tell many of my coworkers, corporate speak and people out of the loop have a certain ring to it in that no actual human being who gels well with others talks and thinks the way they do.
I mean it really is remarkable when you see something like this that's so culturally insensitive and tone deaf you really have to wonder what the people behind it were thinking. The problem is corporations are performative at best they don't believe in anything they claim they do it's all merely an act and a smokescreen. It's mind-blowing to think this is the same supposedly highly progressive Netflix that's cranking out this absolute insult of a show but it just goes to show as I said it's just performative, their words are hollow and empty.
The Boondocks had more respect for blacks, and it made fun of them every episode. this show looks like how Uncle Ruckus sees other blacks.
Tbh boondocks took everyone down.

The season without the original creator of course and damn did it show. What a shame to have the show get canceled be brought back only to have it be that. And that was the last we would ever get of that show, what an insult.

Lol is this a reference to that episode of family guy making fun of the good times, when Florida Evans was complaining about being named after a state? 😅
@@magnumopus8124 Got it in one.
The hilarious thing. I checked the IMBD. The showrunner, the entire voice cast, and ALL of the executive producers on it, other than Seth McFarland, are black.
Hollywood sellouts.
"How are we supposed to twist that"
"We don't,we will just pin it all on the white guy"
"He is just one guy"
"And the "Mastha" of the production team"
"............................. really"
"No,but we pretend he is"
Maybe Seth identifies as black.
That part. We're our own worst enemies.
It's somewhat ironic that artists from countries like France and Japan, where diversity and representation aren't as emphasized, often excel in creating more authentic and compelling characters of colour for their comics, shows, films, and video games compared to America, which prides itself on being "progressive" and "inclusive." Look at characters such as Taranee (W.I.T.C.H.), Kirikou (Kirikou and the Sorceress), Nessa (Pokémon), and Afro Samurai and tell me that these characters should be the standard for proper representation. And it is not like the Americans haven't done this in the past. We had good characters such as the Boondocks, Fillmore, and Virgil/Static, but somehow we ignore these characters.
And I love them for it. Meanwhile everything we love is being dragged across a cheese grater. Its almost like the show runners now are being funded and the go ahead the to “act how they really feel” and act out their most disgusting impulses because they’ve been chosen to represent “ordinary” people.
Japan has never been as toxic as America is even at it's most quote unquote "progressive". There's no agenda or smokescreen with the Japanese they're not trying to push something and they're just making good content. When you see something like this you really have to wonder what the hell. And then you remember the times we're living in and how bad everything has gotten. Everybody talks about representation but is just any representation good enough at this point because honestly this is pathetic.
Pandering isn't even the right word because it's insulting as hell to literally any audience who watches it.
Honestly there is an extreme lack of good, talented artists and writers in Hollywood. The companies got lazy, they cut corners, instead of hiring a plethora of working writers and artists that they would have to pay, they rely on the same ones over and over. Hence terrible things constantly get put out. Where as in Japan and South Korea there are multiple studios, hundreds of working artists, and more opportunities for writers ((there are also alot of problems, challenges)) but as a working artist myself trust me Japan and South Korea have more doors then the USA in terms of companies to apply too. Here in the Strates it's tough.
How the Hell Seth MacFarlane went from Cleveland Show to this Crap?
He should have focused more on American dad.
That show is funnier than family guy in my opinion.
Facts
probably overridden by diversity kommissars
@@Cubeytheawesome honestly The Cleveland show was a very light show in comparison to Family Guy which is probably why it was never really given a chance which was to bad because it had a really solid cast of characters.
That's what I'm asking
I’m a Black Man in my 30’s, and I rarely watch black sitcom in my life. But not only was this show unnecessary, but it’s also insulting, it’s BS, it set Black Comedy back, and its impressive Netflix of all people didn’t backpedal this to save face.
Even though they backed out Carl Jones and Steph Curry truly deserve the backlash they are probably getting.
I’m going to be impressed if this gets a 2nd Season like Velma.
This is just Minstrel-Esque Douchebaggery mixed with Modern Day Media Cynicism and a weak flimsy attempt of making a Flame Shield to deflect criticism.
I mean hiding behind both a classic show and race, damn that is the most scathingly horrible indictment of the current times we live in. The fact that people thought this was a good idea and that anyone would actually voice this and not expect backlash is just ridiculous to me. I mean get that bag and all that but geez do I have to defend being part of the show is off the charts sad.
Seth MacFarlane made good shit like Family Guy, American Dad, and the Ted series on Peacock, but he does make some other garbage like this.
The Cleveland Show was also good. It was a lot better of a “black show” than this shit.
To be fair, ever creative will put out a stinker every now and then.
No one ever talks about Spielberg's bad or mediocre films.
And the Orville.
@@lennypayne4241 honestly it didnt even feel like a black show, just a show whose main character happens to be black
family guy has been on a downward trend quality wise
John Amos clashed with writers and producers all the time on the original (and got fired after three seasons) over the portrayal of a black family. He and Esther Rolle were both annoyed that J.J. became the breakout character and veered away from the show's initial concept to focusing on J.J. clowning around.
And Family Matters would follow the same trajectory years later. Heh.
Bad Times. That's what they should have called it.
And done it as a parody. That would at least justify it.
SNL made fun of Good Times, and audiences loved it.
They should've called it "Hood Times" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
One of the saddest tv moments I can remember is the scene after john's wake where florida deliberately smashes a salad bowl and finally breaks down over his death, its such a simple scene but it perfectly conveys the way grief effects people.
Norman Lear shows had appeal to Center-Left people. Today it's Cultural Marxism all the way down.
People like to talk about "moving the goalpost" but this is something totally different. It's like if you picked up the line in the middle of the road and just walked it completely over so far to the left that it was constantly being more left and more left and more left infinitum. If this is what "progressivism" has supposedly given us than I would say it's a huge failure.
Actually, Married With Children was supposed to be spin-off of Good Times. At the end of the show, J.J. gets a job as a cartoonist and gets married. In this show, It was supposed to be his family living in the suburbs of Chicago. Because of the Cosby Show, they could not show a poor black family so the family was changed to white.
Oh REALLY? I did not know that.
@@ClownfishTV It's was supposed to be Called Not The Cosby show LOL starring Roseanne Bar and Sam Kinison LOL!🤔📺🛋🙆
Wow! Insanity...
@@MagnificentDevil Yes, I know just like David Faustino and Christina Applegate weren't the original Bundy children. The original Bundy offspring were changed after the first pilot was taped in December of 1986 at the request of FOX or Ed O'Niell. This would push the premiere date to Spring of 1987. 🤔🛋📺📼
Ron Leavitt and Michael G. Moye, the creators of "Married With Children", ran the last season of "The Jeffersons", but, by the early 80s, after "A Year At The Top" and "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman", Hollywood stopped trusting Norman Lear with money so Leavitt and Moye went to work for NBC, creating "Silver Spoons" and the infamous direct ancestor of "Married With Children", "It's Your Move" starring Jason Bateman.
"It's Your Move" proved to hot for NBC so Leavitt and Moye went to work for Fox. The rest is history.
It exist because of hypocrisy and laziness
It exists because people like this actually do exist in real life. Prime example, all those people who start fights at Disney theme parks.

I don’t think anything can reach Lear quality ever
Do "projects" still exist in Chicago?🤨 I thought they were all declared disasters and torn down.
IDK about Chicago specifically, but these still exist in many American cities. I know that New York has many still.

Why is tbe Orville so good, but McFarlane's cartoons are all so stupid?
Am guessing there where other writers to keep him in check.
Bad writers.
Guys kinda a hack
except for Family Guy and American Dad
Seth was not this bad in early family guy and american dad. He keeps pushing it into becoming more offensive until it stops being funny.
First Color Purple now Good Times. It's clear the objective.
Netflix loves bad ideas.
I remember when shows like Fresh Prince were all about people getting along and having fun despite cultural differences. This reboot just wants to divide people more.
The Actor who voiced Cleveland coincidentally retired just before the “requirement “
Yet another reason I'm never getting Netflix. 90% buffoonery. 😂
This "Good Times" is the Black equivalent of "VELMA"(that Scooby Doo reimagining)
How did we go from cult classics like Class of 3000, Static Shock, the original run of The Proud Family, and The Boondocks... To shit like THIS!?
After the character of James Evans was written off, the program Good Times became a clown show
They cancelled smiling black faces on products for being offensive, but we can have this absurd show
Anthropologists will have a field day with the current era in the future.
Good times was set in my hometown of chicago in the projects so anyone in chicago watching the reboot I hope is just as annoyed as i am of this cash grab
I better not get a cartoon reboot of Sanford and Son.
To be fair to Seth though ... Literally the hold up is Disney has not green lit a season 4.. And after this long wait i think even longer then the one between 2 and 3 I just don't expect they will renew it.
Netflix is still okay with "Cuties".
Don’t forget, it takes a while to make an animated series. This was a project that was greenlit a few years ago!
Remaking black shows that never existed before DEI is tight!
It would be great though, if Eddie Murphy brought back The PJs (in all its Claymation glory)
I don't know what the viewership numbers were on The PJ's but it was deemed too expensive to carry on. There were some rumbling on stereotypes but it was a lot smarter than this crap.
I grew up watching Good Times and even had a talking soft JJ doll. Pull its string and it would say dynamite.
Modern Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen.
Singing in the shower with a roach? Who thought that was funny.
it's not surprising. Seth McFarlin has no idea what a functional family actually looks like. All of his shows are just the same screwed up family with similar characters doing the same stuff.
This makes me sick. Nothing like todays black entertainment - teaching young kids that EVERYONE hates THEM and to hate everyone else. WTF? Good Times should be REQUIRED viewing - to see just how BAD the other half can live at times. Plus James Evans Sr is THE best tv dad EVER. Period. This is insulting...
"They did it better back then" As someone who grew up in the '70's and '80's I am surprised at people online who make blanket statements that everything was racist in the 20th century, and yet when they make remakes of the shows from the '70's and '80's they are mean spirited, and jam packed with unkind stereotypes.
Hollywood heard that people are watching classic TV and this is how they will try and milk that
Hollywood: We need representation and inclusion!
Also Hollywood: We're gonna have a white dude write the new version of an iconic black show.
also hollywood: we are gonna make sure the show is as stereotypical and wacist as humanly possible, because that's what we really think the blacks are
There’s nothing wrong with using a white writer. Just not a terrible one.
And a white dude didn’t write this. All black people.
actually the Good Times reboot was written by an all black writing room, directed by a black woman and McFarlane (the only white person involved in it) was just the producer. in other words the white guy didn't write it.
Just want to point out that the original Good Times was also made by a white guy. That's not the reason this show is so terrible.
I am disappointed in Seth! I thought he was the one who understood! He's making this crap instead of another episode of The Orville!?
Is this off Netflix? Because when I search it nothing comes up
Netflix made a new age minstrel show
Calling this a “spiritual sequel” makes it even more offensive. So I’m convinced Netflix wanted a Velma. Truly believe they made it with the intention of it being hate watched.
I heard it was good, the original that is. But obviously Netflix has to F it up again. Because Netflix.
The goofy thing is with everyone watching, reviewing, complaining and talking about it is giving it the press/viewership it needs to be green lit for a season 2. When you get an inkling of something you don't like you ignore it. The financial loss will cancel the series.
It seems calculated to appeal to those who hated the original series.
What is with seth mcfarlane and making psychopath baby characters
it used to be funny atleast in the early days. now its like "bruh you got something to say?"
As a white kid growing up in the suburbs of South Carolina, I grew up watching all these shows too and U loved them!
I was there for the ups and downs if the Evans family, heartbroken when Janes died, cheering when Penny was adopted away from her abusive mother.
Through it all the family persevered. They really were goid times. This is a blight on that memory. I cant understand how Seth could do this.
Nothing in those articles sounds remotely like an animated reboot of the TV series. It all sounds like a cheap bastardization full of stereotypes that was just using the name of the original show for nostalgia baiting. The "creatives" involved with it don't care, they got their payday and will move on to something else.
McFarland has let us down with no season for the Orville.
So I guess with that in mind.I guess I don't have to get my Orville.Uniform bought and mailed to me now.Or try to buy any orville merchandise
The voice of Cleveland Brown (Mike Henry) was replaced by a black voice actor just a couple of years ago.
I used to watch that show, with What's Happeneing, The Jeffersons, etc.....THE ABSOLUTE NERVE OF THESE WOKESTERS TO TOUCH THIS ... we all watched them. They were on, and it was pre-cable so it was all that was on.
Should have got another season of The Cleveland Show not gonna lie
Why does anyone think a "re" anything of anything that already existed will be good now? holy piss, how many times must you be hit with this not panning out!
All part of cultural marxism
It's do bad, that even some of the surviving actors from the original Good Times show hated that reboot.
6:02 The oddest thing is Norman Lear, the creator, gave the okay before he passed. Think about that for a moment.
They probably just gave him the synopsis and never went into full detail on what they were planning... That, or they straight up lied to his face, just to receive his blessings. He was 101 years old when he passed away. He was already one foot on the grave, when they reached out to him... The Netflix crew took advantage of an elderly man's vulnerable state, just for the sake of their own pride, vanity and ego. I'm more thinking about THAT at the moment.
@@jhonmaverick9963 Makes sense.
Wait, I loved "Good Times" when I was growing up! I had no idea about this reboot, and I can't even tell it's supposed to be a "reboot"! Oh no.
I love how even the description in the trailer describes the show as a "irreverent reimagining".
Lost me at the drug dealing baby. Let my Netflix go because of this.
That description is elite
Well this is the Anti-Good Times
Bad Times
Hood times 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Funny thing is a Black Women Directed this show. Macfarlane produced it.
We know some black women are 🛏️🔧
even funnier when majority of things run by the same demographic are either major flop or absolutely corrupted.
Like Black Conservative Prospective said, this is why profiling and stereotypes exist.
Which goes to show that even with supposedly the "right" people at the helm of something you can make a total piece of crap like this.
I mean if this is basically just produced by MacFarlane which means he's just the money man than I really have to wonder who's to blame. Who were the writers because it doesn't matter who's directing it if the writers are still filling it full of the worst stereotypes and generalities of an entire race.
@@JohnDoe-wq5euI think Seth might be the scapegoat.
i really like how they're blasting seth macfarlene for how bad this but it somehow passed the sniff test with all those black voice actors it could not of been made without
Especially JB Smooth. But too be fair, I think he needed the money. I’ve seen him in more commercials as of late than being in a movie or tv show
My mother watched Good Times when i was a child. I recall the Evans family being wholesome. I question why is this a cartoon?
I'd so much rather re-watch episodes of Family Guy and American Dad on Hulu instead of this Crap
We all liked the black shows of the 70s and 80s. They were entertaining, even with the messaging and moral postering. They were just GOOD.
I saw the preview at it looks terrible.
All In The Family wasn’t even an original concept by the late Norman Lear…it was a transatlantic remake of the UK sitcom Til Death Us Do Part
Cleveland wasn't the problem Seth MacFarlane was the problem. He has a white savior complex and it affects his writing. This Good Times remake isn't respectful of what the Evans family did with their lives. Everyone made it out of the hood and went on to better things. This show is how Hollywood views the black community and that's the insult. Like you said Kneon Good Times was a TV treasure and they made it garbage with this remake.
3:38 They cancelled comedy gold like The Boondocks, but think this trash is going to replace it?
I will remind you that the original Good Times was largely written by white people and was produced by Norman Lear. But to be fair, Norman Lear had already had a good reputation for representing black people.
But also, according to other comments, this isn’t even Seth MacFarlane’s property. It belongs to a black woman. He only produced it.
This is like an even worse version of the PJs.
I don't think not doing Orvell was Seth's idea.
Inside job got the axe and somehow this exists? Just why.
How can a show be so bad that the more i hear about it. It makes me not want to watch it even more.
They're even getting bad at the dipping into nostalgia thing. Between this and the Golden Girls show, it would seem that they're even worse at going from live action to cartoon. It would seem that being one of the higher paid people that can still get work in Hollywood doesn't mean more talented.
I used to watch those shows on reruns when I was younger, tv shows were way better back then
I never seen Good Times and even I'm not okay with this.
This is a reboot - not of Good Tines but the 1940s banned cartoon, Scrub Me Mama With A Boogie Beat.
Man, this made me miss The Cleveland Show.
Well I've tried to watch this Netflix Good Times ReBoot and I'd couldn't get past the first three episodes it's that BAD just as BAD if NOT Worse then Velma
