  • 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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

    I grew up watching the same shows with my grandmother.

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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    Even though they backed out Carl Jones and Steph Curry truly deserve the backlash they are probably getting.

      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.

    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

    This is a reboot - not of Good Tines but the 1940s banned cartoon, Scrub Me Mama With A Boogie Beat.
