Eric Monte is the one, first black tv creator.
He should get royalties from every sitcom since 1971.
@@Attmaywith interest!!!!
@@Attmay 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
He partnered with Mike Evans too, the first actor who played George and louises son. Also, thats where they got Michael Evans name and the Evans. I saw this when I was a kid. And decades later they're celebrating Lear as the person came up with it. So why then are the good times family is named after Mike Evans?
Get outa here. Only credit that man deserves is partner producer credit. All the great shows that made him money were the spinoffs from Maude and All in the Fam. Disgusting. Between norman lear and arron spelling who were the guys when I was a kid, it seems arron spelling was more honest. 80s kid here.
Yes, definitely
This is important. His story needs to be told. Tell his story and share his story. He deserves all his credit and all his money.
💯💯💯👊🏿
the left wing agenda was there to push and they know breaking up the family was the key to get blacks dependent on the state. leading to the rise of socialism
💯 - If he hasn't already, this man should write an autobiography and a documentary / movie should be made to share his story.
I totally agree, hate that happened to him💔😢🙏🏽
He's been sharing his story for years and nobody listened
Norman Lear was a THIEF!!
Major Props to Comedy Hype for this interview 💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
It is what his people do. They stole and still stealing the entire Black culture. They went after Kyrie Irving just for a link to a book on Amazon.
The Lone Ranger was based off a former black slave named Bass Reeves
Thanks so much for the information, I had no idea ❤
I was just about to post that. So they was stealing yet again
That’s right!!!
Where can I find this information?
@@rhondajohnson494sure, k
Eric Monte is worth 100’s of millions and any black person that watches the Netflix show should be ashamed of themselves
After all the years he has taken money from Netflix for what was essentially *The Beverly Hillbillies* meets *Breaking Bad,* Jason Bateman has no integrity left whatsoever if he does not stand in solidarity with Eric Monte. Without *Silver Spoons,* and therefore by proxy without Norman Lear or Ricky Schroder, he never would’ve had a career. This is what Tandem/Embassy’s priorities shifted to without Bud Yorkin or Eric Monte and with Jerry Perenchio: shows about rich white kids with Black friends, shows about rich white kids with Black roommates at boarding school, and shows with rich white kids with Black siblings.
*Eastside Low Bottoms sh*t !*
1,000% ! Watching buffoonery like that is done deliberately to lower Our self-worth as well as Our IQ's. I'd NEVER watch or promote this garbage ! And I now have more reason to avoid it like the plague.
That Netflix show set us back 1000 years,I could never
Eric Monte - "Norman Lear Is A Racist" THIS IS A HATE CRIME AGAINST BLACK AMERICANS... NO OTHER RACE WOULD ALLOW THIS.. WOULD EUROPEAN JEWS ALLOW RACIST STEREOTYPES MADE INTO A NETFLIX SERIES... I THINK NOT.
The New Good Times animated series on Netflix is a glorified stereotypical show that has damaged the image of the original Good Times family show that started in 1974 through 1979. The goal of the original Good Times show was to disrupt the flow of negative stereotypes about black families.
This New series promotes violence, culture destruction of the Black community and alcohol abuse. This glorifies the degenerate, destructive behavior that some in MOST community's engage in, but this series aims to promote this as a normal behavior in the black community.
It’s time to put a stop to this ANTI-BLACK Propaganda Racist Hate Crime By Netflix. This will lead to bad outcomes towards black people period. It will promote more hate, police brutalities as it reinforces the DEHUMANIZATION of a whole people like they did during the Jim Crow Era which lead to mass killings of innocent black Americans.
BOYCOTT THIS TRASH.
NETFLIX NEEDS TO BE CHARGED WITH PROMOTING A GENOCIDE.
😂 worry about those dry jokes instead of what strangers are watching
Marla Gibbs also refused to play the role of Mary Jenkins on 227 as a single mother. She knew the portrayal of a strong black father on television was important for black viewers.
Yes ! Amazingly Cisley Tyson was left out of many shows as she refused! to accept any prostitute, drug addict or single mother roles
positive TV portrayals weren't THAT influential because where are they?
I heard Marla Gibbs say in an interview that she wanted a *Black* man as a lead household figure on *227* .
I'm glad to see Mr. Monte is still with us.The Norman Lear estate needs to do the right thing and pay this man what he is owed!!✊🏾💰
I still wonder whether Norman Lear was ever more than just a figurehead on all of these reboots of “his” shows.
What makes this even more unforgivable is that Sony Pictures Television bent over backwards to get +0n¥ d@nz@ and his degenerate co-stars from that horrible show he did after *Taxi* was canceled when its Emmys couldn’t propel it past *Diff’rent Strokes* in the ratings (thank you to anybody reading this who helped make that Nielsen victory happen in 1980-1981). They ripped off the mutually exclusive parts of *Gimme A Break!* and *Cheers* to “create” that show and received no accountability for it while forgetting to steal actually funny jokes. Mort Lachman and Sy Rosen must have taken the last ones with them when they left Embassy with Gary Coleman, Ricky Schroder, and Mrs. Garrett’s charges fighting over the last ones left they didn’t take.
If this all went back to court, I would gladly testify on behalf of the Monte family with everything I know. #JusticeForEricMonte #BoycottNetflix #NotMyGoodTimes
While they should, would you?
They're not.
There’s no way Norman Lear’s estate is going to pay him.
They should but wont
Eric Monte has been telling the truth for decades.
This family deserves so much more after their legacy was stolen.
I'm not trying to be mean or anything but how was it stolen? Didn't he get paid to sell the show to the network?
@@oldmanjesus9855no he was bullied
They compensated him less than what they owed him based on the amount of input he had.
Compared to what we are seeing from Netflix today, the greatest irony of *What’s Happening Now!!* in hindsight is that they actually got most of the original cast and basically picked up where they left off. And that was when Columbia was under Coca-Cola. They pushed Bud Yorkin out, just like he helped push Eric Monte out, but Monte still got credited for the reboot the same way he did for the original series and Yorkin did not.
@@oldmanjesus9855he was robbed. He didn't voluntarily sell. This went to court. Listen again.
Thank you for giving this family a platform to share their story.
Finally after a hella’ crazy videos Comedy Hype provides a venue for something positive. 👏🏾Their Tasha K interview for example did the OPPOSITE of what Eric Monte was trying to do with his work: uplift & amplify positive imagery of our people. Good Times! Good job Comedy Hype. Keep it up.
Yes Eric Monte is definitely worth Millions...
Finally, we get to hear from Eric Monte himself.
Yes indeedy
Thank TMH God
I’m so disgusted! Everyone involved with this new Good Times show should be ashamed of themselves. Cast included! Norman Lear stole more than Mr. Monte will ever be able to get back and they got the nerve to continue to profit and stereotype black peoples in the process FOH‼️
Norman Lear never did right by him.
He stole from black people
What is worst Norman Lear is in epsiode 8 of the animated show
Which means he condone this mess before he passed away in December.
And Steph Curry,who grew up with a Dad in the NBA is 1 of da executive producers...I'm surprised he would even co-sign that BS...
The Norman Lear white family will eat forever... I just so anger. This reboot is garbage.
I watched and loved every one of these shows back then….but never knew this information….how could we? Living in the Midwest, no World Wide Web, no access to Hollywood inside info
@@juliegood7999 They even own our image of ourselves... I sure hope we take back ourselves soon. I'm started to give up on us.
Peace to Eric Monte and his Fam.
Peace to the cast of Coolie High, What's Happening, Good Times and The Jeffersons.
These are the interviews we want. Good stuff, Comedy Hype. I've been worried about the recent content y'all have been creating
IKR!!
💯
👀
Ironically the lone ranger is based off of a black law man, Bass Reeves
Start a petition. This man should get no less than 20 million!!! Thats merchandise, syndication, writing credit! Etc! It should all come from that devil #JusticeForEricMonte
250 million at the very least. Those projects made billions
I say ALL the money from that Wh*ite Liberal thief Norman Lear should go to Eric Monte. He it was ALL stolen from the projects Monte created after all. #JusticeForEricMonte
@@Darrencollinsjr the more the better🤷🏾♀️
300 BILLION ALL DAY LONG !!!👌🏾👌🏾💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯😊😊😊😎✌🏾
Yep
Norman Lear owes half of his wealth to Eric Monte.
He is not the only one that Hollywood is screwing over. The three principal cast members of *Webster* own pieces of the show, and Paramount has not been paying everything they owe them. I don’t know whether DVD or streaming is part of the agreement, but you cannot watch all 150 episodes between the two of them because they don’t want to pay for the music rights on streaming, and the Shout! Factory licenses were only for those Shout! DVDs. The episodes that are as of now streaming-only (they were on Amazon Prime as late as this February) are the ones co-produced by Emmanuel Lewis Entertainment Enterprises. I heard he lost his house a few years ago. Perhaps if Paramount had not been engaging in creative accounting techniques worthy of *The Producers,* he might not have.
@Attmay really? Wow. I didn't know that. You've just schooled me. Did I say there weren't others? You wrote all of that for what? FYI I didn't read your book report. I said what I said.
Lear finally died sometime last year.thankfully...thief that he was...and a damned liar!
That’s exactly what I was thinking. For 50 years he received credit for Good Times and The Jeffersons when the credit belonged to someone else.
Imagine a person stealing from you, using your material then use their power to block you, create further stagnation in your life.
And then imagine being able to do that from beyond the grave!
@@Attmaythis ‼️
You just described every black ruler in present day Africa 😂
@@jasonmiller6800”every” black ruler, in the ENTIRE continent of Africa, with its 54 countries. You know all of them, their histories, leadership records and that they’ve “ALL” stolen from and blackballed someone. What an incredibly stupid comment.
@@jasonmiller6800”every” black ruler in the entire continent with its 54 countries have stolen from and blackballed someone? You know this, you know every single one of them. Lol ok. 👍 You should think before you type. Or better yet, just think.
We need a Surviving Norman Lear documentary asap!
Yes!!!!
And the rest of his sick people in the industry!!
Redd Foxx also had money problems with Lear. Seems to be a pattern.
@@mariogiresi6792 That was his boy Bud Yorkin.
He has a beautiful family.
Tyler Perry loves helping people. Come on Tyler, let Eric Monte help write one of your shows. A mind like his has unlimited idea.
That’s the first thing I thought!
Whomever is in position to do the life story of Eric Monte, I ask that you do so. We must love on this ridiculously talented man while he is in this realm with us. He is a treasure. And ALL of the shows that he's created are still very relevant today. Comedy Hype, thank you for giving this man, his daughter and granddaughter a platform in which to speak. Bless you.
...i'd definitely support that project and pray Monte is vindicated!
I have said for years that they should’ve done a movie about the making of *Good Times.* And a real movie like the recent Aaron Sorkin movie about the making of *I Love Lucy,* not a cheap TV production. All the conflict that makes great drama great is right there, it just needs somebody to make sure all the elements are in place to create a movie that is entertaining to an audience and tells an accurate story about the making of the show. If this is what we get from Sony, though…
@@Attmay You couldn't be more right. The backdrop and foundation is Chicago, Illinois. That says it right there. The raw and gritty terrain of Cabrini Green housing projects. A young man realizes that there isn't any black representation on television nor the silver screen that isn't racist and demeaning. An idea is birthed then nurtured and ultimately realized. His story MUST be told. And Mr. Monte has to be an Executive Producer and Direct Consultant. Period!
Thank you all !
@@iluvmybobaI love it ! THANK YOU 🙏🏾!
Eric Monte MUST be honored at the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC. -
Don't believe he even has an NAACP Image Award.🤬
Much love and respect to Eric Monte and his daughters for speaking out against his actions also his name deserves all the credit for putting these characters together.
Ouch 😢trying to steal his family’s legacy. Not gonna be able to do it keep speaking out family❤❤
what don’t they steal? it’s who they are and what hey do! 💯
Monte should've gotten everything he did/made on a contract,so he could take his gripes to court. If you don't have that you're just wasting your time crying about how you were ripped off. When Norman Lear died he was worth $ 800 million dollars.Not being an &&&hole,just being brutally honest. Protect yourself and your ideal with contracts that protect your interests.
@@user-be7tc2bd6e This is true, but he has what ppl fail to realize Eric Monte was the first so he was first to put his neck out on the line..is the Systemic racism and it's more gathering information for the people to be informed to make it right. Def being a a$$hole because this was before blacks could protect themselves..period Just like saying o well to MLK and Malcom X .. Eric Monte is black history..know your history
@@user-be7tc2bd6eIt goes farther than that. 🙄 It's easier to say what he should have done with what we know now. He tried to fight for himself against a conglomerate and still got the short end of it and blackballed. Listen to the interview.
@user-be7tc2bd6e that's definitely not how Hollyweird works, do you realize how powerful Norman Lear was? Monte was basically ran out of Hollywood. He would've been blackballed regardless.
Even *Gimme A Break!* wouldn’t hire him when that show was basically a refugee camp for ex-Norman Learites. That’s how unpopular he became.
Mr. Eric Monte story needs to be shared and heard. He is a great and historical writer. Respect.
Comedy Hype is a Black TREASURE we MUST PROTECT at ALL cost!!!
Stg
Ya know reading books is still fundamental.
I’m 60, and I grew up with teachers and relatives that introduced me to black heroes in real life and fiction. This generation has social media to enlighten you about our history. But it’s this generation more than ever, that doesn’t honor its history. Street culture, and buffoonery stay front and center in our community, and we’ve accepted it.
Do the right thing, pay the man and his family for the success of his work!
We need to have our own production companies.
AND distribution networks.
Catch Eric Monte on the "Black Jesus" episode of Good Times.
His line was..."Hey man, your number hit...25 pennies gets you a hundred and twenty five of the long green."
Hes defitnely worth millions! Good Times, The Jeffersons, Whats Happening were ground breaking and iconic in not just black households but alot of households!
My heart hurts. Thank you for sharing this. May GOD restore what he lost 10 fold while he us on THIS side of heaven.
Mr. Eric Monte -- THANK YOU! You are a LEGEND to say the least. As a once aspiring screenwriter who had had my own experiences in Hollywood, you have ALWAYS been an inspiration to me. I'm so sad you were not able to financially benefit from your God given talents and output. The Jeffersons is my favorite sitcom fall time. Cooley High is a top 5 movie of mines. Then he has Good Times and What's Happening under his belt? That man was batting a thousand percent! It's a shame the court system has not settled him being ROBBED! But then again. what can we truly expect.Peace to you and your beautiful family.
Sue, along with the animated series, scored a 5.5 out of 10. It felt like a blend of "PJs", "Boondocks" and "The Proud Family" but lacked the original concept of "Good Times," only incorporating certain elements like using phrases such as "Dynamite" in a period episode and referencing cultural elements like a black Jesus in the first season of the animated "Good Times" series.
It is nothing like the original good times
It's like a HORRID TWISTED VERSION of BEBE KIDS⚠️ Smdfh 🤦🏾
And that’s the exact reason they shouldn’t even have titled the cartoon Good Times. Call it something else and let it live in its own universe.
Exactly
I think the Montes could come up with their own animated series and it would do well.
What's stopping them. We have many talented creators. Even if it were just animated episodes of the original series, there's an entire new audience of young ones who'll eat it up.
Eric Monte (or his team) needs to team up with Aaron McGruder to make another Boondocks series!
@@mrdreloaded4049 so agreed 💯
Eric Monte has a beautiful family ❤
Im so happy his family protecting, supporting, and telling his story. He reminds me of my dad. He had a stroke and sounded just like him.
Mr. Eric Monte is a genius. He deserves to be treated with the utmost respect. We should boycott this trashy animated series.
I'm not watching that Netflix crap. It's just that simple
The animated series lame. Using stereotypes all through thru series. They still tryna make fun of us like that suppose to just slide. The whole series corny and coonery.
I’m not watching!
The geniuses always gets treated like shit!
The DC Comic's characters including Batman were credited to Bob Kane until 2015 when Bill Finger was finally given credit as co-creator nearly 40 yrs after his death in 1974. How do we get the same campaign and attention needed to support the Monte family. Thanks to Comedy Hype for continuing to bring us this information.
They did that brother dirty I can imagine how many brothers and sisters were ripped off by those greedy devils
Living Single cast was talking about how it affected them.
Tyler Perry could help
👏👏👏👏 Thank You Comedy Hype for This Eye Opening Interview for Mr. Eric Monte and his Family. Eric Monte is the Little Richard of the Entertainment Industry. THEY OWE HIM and Mike Evans!!!
Cooley High is classic.
I love that movie.
Thank you Eric Monte! You’re a hero! You changed Television and gave us more than you can imagine, Cooley High is my all time favorite movie. So many black artists have similar experiences, millions of dollars are owed to you and to so many black musicians, song writers… I hope you and your family be given what is rightfully yours and that you receive the recognition you so deserve.
Thank you again Eric Monte for your incredible talent and for your contribution to the world! God continue blessing you and your family! 🙏🏽👏🏆
They need to do right by Mr. Monte and do what’s right and what’s fair. I’m very sorry for someone that brought so much joy went through all of that. This bulls*** happens too much. We create it, they take it and then get credit for it!
True journalism. We def need more of this.
EVERY part of our fabric of who we are, has been pillaged and destroyed by them…..see, but the time is here, when the last shall be first, and the first shall be last. It’s The Most High Word and I believe it. 🙏🏽👑
Good luck with that
Don't let Steph Curry off the hook! He needs to step up to the mic and answer some questions!
Yep
How old was this interview because he was at my facility a few years back he had several strokes and early stage of dementia…. It good to see him with family because for years no one was visiting…. Thank God they has came to take care of their father 💞🙌🏾💞
Please proofread your sentences, before publishing.🙄🙄
@@2conscious thanks no need to roll eyes it was a typo mistake 🙄
@@NayNay-mw4tvIt looks like a recent interview. Norman Lear died late last year
@@cdgates1 thanks … I started to type this comment before watching the complete video … I see it’s recent
I’m sensing the family see’s the money potential…now.
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOREVER!!
Eric, friends don't steal from you.
Eric Monte should be a multi-millionaire. He has co-created some of the most iconic shows and movies ever.
Wow I didn’t know this story! They owe Mr Monte MANY MILLIONS…typical American Racist history or stealing from Black People😢😢
It continued into the 1990s when NBC openly ripped off *Living Single* to “create” *f(r)iends.*
This is exactly what happened to the McDonalds brothers. Ray Crock and Norman Lehr are one in the same
McDonald’s brothers weren’t black, doesn’t count
When the Netflix show comes out, everyone give it a thumbs down.
Love how they advocated and defended him and his legacy
He’s so proud of the women he raised
I pray that Eric Monte gets his rightful compensation for his intellectual properties and creations I REALLY DO 🙏🏿
Your father is worth BILLIONS!!! What he created is all we had to look forward to from the television arena in those days. God please help us, the hearts of man have grown cold, and Lord knows to shut him out of this project which he created is a cold hearted move. Mr. Eric Monte I pray everything you lost you get it back in a
BILLION FOLD!!!
🙏🏾😥💞
Respect to Comedy Hype, but where's the petition. You have the platform for it. I tried contacting Netflix, but that number doesn't work. Let's go after them!
Absolutely I'm wit it!!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💯💯💯💯💯
I'm with it, too.
💯💯💯💯💯💯
Comedy Hype is an objective channel simply reporting the story and interviewing him. But you can easily start one online, don't wait for CH.
That was dirty the way they treated Mr. Eric Monte. How could you sleep knowing in your heart that you treated someone this way. I'm SMH
Devils have no spirit to make them feel empathy/sympathy.
The thing that I noticed about Norman Lear is that when he fired John Amos in 1976, he got with some directors in England and called the black British show "The Fosters" and used every single episode of Good Times from 1974-1976. I used to watch the black British show The Fosters on CZcams for 2 years until they stopped showing it. I even tried to order the DVD's of the show The Fosters and now they're trying to show the white version of The Fosters which is totally different from the Norman Beaton version of the The Fosters 💜
Eric Monte "the real life Preach AND Roger Thomas"
If black people come together this stuff would stop
Too divided and conquered for that.
I heard about Eric Monte’s story only in recent years, and I believe him.
This was an excellent story. Hopefully, Netflix & Norman’s Estate will compensate Mr. Monte.
They have to file a law suit
Get real 🥴
With friends like Lear, who needs enemies?
We need a movie of this man's life story and career!!!
Been telling folks this for years.
I am so invested in this story since I became aware of Mr Monte a few years ago. I always found it odd as a young adult, that Norman Lear could tap into the culture so accurately. Well now it all makes sense. Bravo Mr Monte and bravo to you for this excellent content.
This is the strongest reason why i will NOT be watching they stole his money like they stole everything else and i hope it doesn’t air. Give honor where honor is Due‼️Black Cinema Legend Eric Monte❤ 🙏🏾💪🏾
they should do a movie on his life while he's alive
RESPECT TO MR. MONTE AN HIS FAMILY ❤❤🙏
We Need 2 STOP Saying "Black Listed or Blackballed" So Many Negative Terms with Black as the Headline where as Black is definitely associated with a Race of People!
That was an intentional act.
Maybe we should start calling it, "Whited out". Seems more appropriate.
These people since day one, have been stealing from black inventors and creators. From stealing land, identity of a people just anything you can think of they have stolen. Unbelievable, I pray Mr Monte and his family get what has been taken from them.
I knew a white man didn't create Good Times, it's too spot on....
But a white man did write the theme song (both versions). How ironic is that????
Finally?? Man's been rightfully speaking on this for decades.
But it is only in recent years that people have actually started listening after 35 years of the Sony corporation owning this show and every other show from Embassy and Tandem.
@@Attmay. My response is in regards to the CH title. Eric Monte has let this be known numerous times in print, and interviews going back AT LEAST forty years. There's no "Finally Breaking His Silence" at all.
The man was robbed and treated like ish. The monetary values of what would possibly even begin to make things right would have to be an astronomical amount. As it should be..
Also, Eric Monte should have easily been celebrated for his influence and creativity in that industry, just as they celebrated Norman Lear.
I took that as this Netflix animated stolen show.
I’m so glad the original creator is finally speaking out against this
This is a mockery 😑This will be a NO🚫NO🚫NO🚫NO🚫NO🚫for me. Norman Lear FAKE creator.The Original creators are Eric Monte
and
Mike Evans.And to all the writers and producers that do not understand black culture and Black people that are still making a mockery out of us.
And I love comedy, but to laugh at and to be laughed at sorry they can do better with putting comedy inspiration and motivation, and also putting the real struggle, not making a mockery of our culture making a mockery of the essence. Which That is us.
PS I looked at that whole trailer from beginning to end, and I did not laugh😑 not one time i’m not knocking anybody that watches it, but just know what it represents and know that even if you watch one episode, you are still giving them viewership
A Black baby as a drug dealer
Exactly 💯💯💯
Very good well put together piece✊🏿
This...THIS is the interview that describes what this "Remake" is it pretty much sums it all up
Dope interview family 🎉
Mr. Monte had EVERY REASON to be bitter! Mayonnaise men have stolen from everybody!!
Even if he was awarded the residuals. He's at a time where precious years of his life are gone. This is the problem I have. We as black people see these issues with our forefathers but yet, we don't contribute to the cause. If every black person was to donate a minimum of 100.00 into a private trust he would be comfortable in his golden years. He deserves this! Stop supporting people who don't care about your well being. The time is now! We don't need them if you truly believe in yourself that you can make it. The time for unification is now! Never to be broken again.
❤Thank you .He will have a donation page up soon !
See this is the type of content you guys should be doing.
Thank you for thank you comedy hype for showing us that there is more to comedy than just comedy
Still bothers me that the Jefferson’s didn’t get a final episode
It should have ended with Ralph the doorman buying the building with his tip money. *Good Times* ended. *The Jeffersons* stopped. *Sanford and Son* they tried to keep going in two short-lived sequel series.
Even Mr monte would tell you to get over it😂
And that Sherman Hemsley never won an Emmy.
James Evans Father on the show was Doc"muthafvckin"Johnson 😂 from Across 110 th street!
And he definitely looked like he could have been John Amos' father in real life! Perfect casting.
@@greenbyrd3665 yeah a great match up
Thank you Mr. Monte for your brilliant ideas. You set the tone for many..Thank you!!! Give this man his money and flowers.
We really need to create our own systems.
He knows his daughter backs him, but it was so beautiful how proud he was of his granddaughter speaking on his behalf!
these articulate black women. i love it
Thank you for covering this ❤❤
Beautiful beautiful family! Thank you so much Comedy Hype for even covering this 🙏🏽
A man of this talent, and creative magnitude should've been set for life financially. I'm absolutely appalled at the fact his offspring had to live in the hood. I think it's pure evil that a so called friend could rob you in this manner, and be able to sleep at night. I sincerely doubt NL's children, heirs, successors, and all those prestigious terms of generational wealth had to be subjected to any level poverty, low/no income public housing, and all terms of being destitute. I'm glad Mr. Monte is still us, and sincerely hope he receives full restitution with interest beyond.
If not for Eric Monte Black TV Comedy wouldn't exist. He is truly along with the cast members the the Black Godfather of comedy
Lord, fix this for this family! Such an amazing talent & even more amazing family Mr. Monte has. Blessings & thank you for your contribution to our amazing culture & the world!💜
Imagine ...Good Times cartoon drawn in a Boondocks/ Black Dynamite style and its just like the classic sitcom 🔥
Wow thank you for sharing this story
i think eric monte also did the cosby show too!
This is unfortunate, but it's also a prime example of making sure you have the proper contracts in place, to ensure you get paid what you're owed, and to also maintain ownership of what you've created, along with creative control. I wish Mr. Monte well, and that he gets what he deserves. As far as Norman Lear and his constituents in Hollywood, this happening is nothing new and is no surprise. Stealing what another melanated person owns or have invented, was and still is a common practice. WE, us as a people should learn and take heed from the past, and do business accordingly, in our favor.
