@coreybbuckner what gets me is this is made with the idea of getting Black viewers to watch Seth McFarlanes stuff OR his own ego when it comes to race and comedy. We checked out on Family Guy early on, the Cleveland Show never caught on, and we don't really f with him like that, so Netflix working with him on something targeting black audiences is some of the most tone deaf shit I've seen recently
@@draimonshepherd1791 exactly. It's like they said, "Seth knows what black people like." None of them bothered to ask a single black person if we really mess with him or not.
There won't. Is everyone going to stop watching Netflix? You can't win by protesting. You win by owning stuff. So buying Netflix and changing it is the only repercussion that matters...
There won't be. I've watched several CZcams channels on this series trailer already and the comment section is loaded with black people who said they plan on watching it. Damn shame. I can't believe they don't find this insulting.

The point of goid times in the original show was how they were still able to have good times despite struggle because they had eachother as family and the end of the show had them all making it out of the ghetto.
That was definitely written into the show, but in my opinion the show missed the mark because the overall tone remained negative. And yes, one of the closing redeeming factors of the show was them eventually making it out. A factor undone by this show placing their family right back in the same projects apartment 3 generations later.
@@coreybbuckner I can agree. I saw another vid where the lady in the video made a good point. She said that the main problem in the show was that James didn’t have a steady job.

It had some serious stuff too but a lot of the complaints make concerning this new show were things in the original show too This show does undo them getting out of the ghetto but that’s sorta a real thing as even though they were getting out at the end of the original show it wouldn’t take much fir them to be right back where they came from.

@@coreybbuckner -- and that actually would be funny, because Chicago built all these little brick town houses and spread them throughout the city. They could have had a show where the Evans found themselves smack in the middle of some yuppie neighborhood while they are still struggling with poverty and the conflicts that would arise out of that.
@@cjlaity1 I lived in the furthest south suburb of Chicago where this was happening and you are spot on. There are some great, culturally relevant, and hilarious stories that can be told about assimilation, the diversity of black cultures, and Middle class black flight from the neighborhoods where the "projects" families were being moved to.
Yeah... but as the show went, everytime it looked like they were going to get out of the projects something happened. So they just reinforced those negative outcomes again. SMH
I grew up in a HARLEM project in the seventies and eighties. I joined the Army and retired. Now I'm at the end of a twenty year Law Enforcement career. When I tell white people and black people who did not experience these kinds of communities, how terrible it is, when I go home and see 2-4 generations of black people in the same apartment. THEY DON'T GET IT!
That's probably why they think it makes for a good backdrop for "lighthearted" comedy. If they really knew how life was there they would see how ridiculous that is.
Seth didn't write it his name is just on it, a hispanic woman named ranada shepard is the head writer/showrunner who thinks she can write black american culture because she was supposedly adopted by a black family
I wonder which type of black family she was raised in? Did she ever give those details? For all we know that black family could've been Afro-Hispanic which would mean she still wouldn't be able to relate to the nuances of growing up in an ethnically Black American household.
The original had a lot of good humor although to me too much of it was based on stereotypes without much redeeming optimism. It could be depressing at times. I wanted to see progress for the characters. It didn’t reflect what I saw in real life. I’m not a fan of remakes of any kind. They always disappoint. This one sounds awful. Thanks for the heads up. Very succinct summation. Thank you.
You're welcome, and I agree both on the tone of the original show and on remakes. Remakes rarely live up to their originals, and this seems to be just the next in that line of deteriorating attempts to cash in on a show's past success and nostalgia.
I remember reading a story about the black creator and writers wanted to do less stereotypes and wanted to give some hope to the story but the white creator/ showrunner wasn’t having it
For a white male American like myself, my mailroom supervisor is a black Jamaican woman, we’ve been working together for 14 1/2 years and we’re like family to each other. She and her family lives in a beautiful house and where they live is nothing like the projects at all. Her husband is a fire fighter and a D.J. and they also have three wonderful children who are beautiful and handsome on the inside just as much as on the outside. All three of her kids are very smart, intelligent, respectful and two have them are now in high school while the youngest one is still in junior high, but will get there eventually. I’m like family to them and they’re like family to me because we have a lot of love and respect for each other. Whenever my boss can’t come to work, I do her hours so she won’t have too much leftover work to do when she gets back. She’s also loved and respected by everyone at work and most of them are white. We need more positive black role models for every black person like the one who I have at work and her family as well. They definitely know how to love for real and it’s absolutely nothing like the projects at all. In some ways, I’m kinda like an uncle to her kids because I always make them feel welcomed at work whenever they come to visit. Man, I wish they would come visit us more often😊👍
If they were gonna do this they could've at LEAST picked up where the series finale left off where THEY MADE IT OUT OF THE GHETTO. But no...they wanna do another piece of TRASH that puts us RIGHT BACK IN THE GHETTO. No thanks...goodbye...I'm done.
You may be surprised to learn that there were no white writers on this Good Times reboot. It was both created and written by a black woman (Ranada Shepherd) and a black man (Carl Jones). Carl Jones is also a producer on The Boondocks. It was greenlit and produced by Seth McFarlane and the late Norman Lear, creator of the original Good Times. But it was created and written by Ranada Shepherd and Carl Jones.
What's funny is that the show owners or Netflix didn't decide to promote those people, and instead plastered Seth Rogan, Norman Lear & Steph Curry's names all over everything. Make what you will of that fact.
That black woman is not ethnically Black American. She's Afro Latina. That means she doesn't fully 100% understand the culture and the nuances that an insider would know.
And why do you think those black people wrote such a show? Because they already know what the studios want and would fund and promote so that they can get a check. I do fault them for selling out. What I would like to see is a reboot of Drop Squad, do you think Netflix would fund that ??
@@ShawnCmanMaybe, but that argument works both ways. One could say that 12 Years a Slave, Black Panther, Django Unchained, and Malcolm X were written because the writers knew what kind of movies studios were looking for.
@@476429 but all the movies you named are negatively agenda based propaganda towards ⚫ people except Malcolm X. Malcolm X is the exception to the norm when it comes to getting funded by Hollywood. How many Malcolm X films have you seen being funded by Hollywood since then? And don't say Harriet because they added many non historical modern day agenda based stereotypes into that movie. That's why it was a flop amongst us. Drop Squad, wouldn't you like to see that rebooted? This is my 2nd time asking.
I don't know y'all. I think it's a bait-and-switch to get people talking. The show might be a banger. The foolishness might be a setup to hold a mirror up to the black part of our community that needs to be addressed. I'm 50/50 on this show for now.
I can see in the trailer that they try to put a message in it. But the way it comes across in the trailer is that the message is just cover to get away with the buffoonery. If you're right, they did a horrible job portraying it... even as a bait and switch tactic.
I think you missed the point Norman Lear really was trying to make when he created the show. Norman was way ahead of his time. Nobody else dared to tackle the real life problems on network TV that the African American/Black people face on a daily basis. The show was raw, and it was real. To me the whole term Good Times is tongue in cheek. While white people prospered, because they were given all the advantages the Black people were denied. In spite of all this the family on good times pushed through the hard times. They had good times, because they had a family, and they all deeply cared about one another, and no matter how sideways things got, they always knew they would have each others backs
I agree that the show had its upside and downs, and as well had some good messages mixed in with the negative imagery. But, time hasn't been kind to the show, especially with how John Amos & Esther Rolled left the show. But yeah, in some ways it was groundbreaking
Exactly, and we need a way to broadcast those shows to each other as well. There's a lot of good, independent content being made but is all so hard to find
the very last episode called the end of the rainbow, they finally got out of the ghetto, jncluding wilona and penny.....jj's comic characters took off, keith was healed and signed to the bears etc why send them back to the ghetto and the same projects
All the time I spent watching Good Times I never thought about them living in the projects ..I saw ppl moving as family.. talent. love ..creativity ..aspirations... character..the old transitioning into the new..the last episode they left the "projects"..so how the reboot is this degenerate mess?
You took the whole theme song out of context. They saying that with all this mess goin on, we should feel lucky to have the good times we do get. Stay focused. 👌🏾💪🏾
I might think that without the "easy credit ripoff" line. That lone, to me, debunks the idea that they're having good times despite the things happening. Easy credit ripoff is something you do, not something you survive. Getting away with easy credit ripoffs are the good times you celebrate. Without that line in the song I'd be open to what you were suggesting.
@@coreybbuckner I don’t how old you are, but they were singing in regards to being victimized by loan sharks. Remember Sweet Daddy Williams got JJ on that? 😂😂
Good Times title was a twist of sarcasm...ppl could see heir lives in the original Good Times..yet there was a since of hope.. resilience and dignity...forward..ppl are talking about watching this trash in order to give a review...it's WORTH zero attention.
Worth zero attention going forward. You don't have to eat poop to see how it tastes before you judge it. As for the theme song, I'm open to that interpretation but even that way it's offensive to me; albeit slightly less offensive.
What is Stephen "Fetchin" Curry's response to this? That should be his name until he properly addresses this. We must also never forget Seth MacFarlane depiction of Harriet Tubman with a naked euro-woman draped across a statue of her on Family Guy over a decade ago! We are demanding that this minstrocity never airs or else!! #cleartheairwavesproject
I don't like the Good Times trailer, because it looks like Good Times series. And it looks like a remake of The original Good Times. I thought it's all about The Evans Family when J.J. is a millionaire and continue drawing Dyno Woman comics. Thelma and Keith lives on Baker Street and Keith coaches The Chicago Bears. Winona and Penny lives on Baker Street and owns a boutique. Florida is in charge of a bus barn. And Michael is a lawyer in a successful law firm. And Bookman goes to college .
@@coreybbuckner I agree, I understand the original cast of Good Times doesn't like it, because it's disrespectful, and racial profiling. Ask Ralph Carter, John Amos, Jimmie Walker, Bernadette Stanis, and Janet Jackson.

I've heard that from several people,and that may be the case. I know a lot of people took it more literally. But, I'd still find it offensive either way based on the content
I don't know why they let Seth McFarlane work on shows with entirely white casts. Dude's a no talent hack; who makes a show that's just the Simpsons, except worse in every conceivable way? Also Duckman and Scooby-Doo are there for some reason.
Nah. If you've watched the show and listened to the testimonies of the actors... those lines were meant exactly as they were stated. Think about what you're saying and ask yourself which full context sentence makes more sense. "Good Times [in spite of] easy credit ripoffs" or "Good Times [because of] easy credit ripoffs"? The cultural insults are the joke.
@@coreybbuckner Just checking. I've found several lost friends this way. The world is smaller than we thought. Thanks for the reply! Keep doing what you do!
I grew up watching the originql show, and I've never heard anyone say it was sarcasm. Im not saying you aren't right, im saying I've never heard anyone attached to the show say that or known anyone who heard it that way.
@@coreybbuckner it’s obvious. After each refrain they say “good times!” With aplomb. Then the last line in the chorus is “ain’t we lucky we got ‘em” got what..”good times!” Pretty genius if you ask me
Ill wait to see it myself before i let someone tell me how to feel about it. Im not going to compare it to anything. Ill see what life elements they bring to it. Appreciate your opinion tho
Insulting, trash and ridiculous! Is that show supposed to be entertaining or funny? It’s neither! The person or persons working for Netlix that gave this show the green light should be fired!
Oh my Lord people just looking to get offended. It looks entertaining, it looks funny. If you were around back in the early nineties you would have thought in living color was disrespectful.
This comment is funny for a number of reasons starting with the fact that I was born in 1978 & watch every episode of In Living Color when they first aired & Kenan Ivory Wayans is still one of my favorite writer/directors along side his partner Robert Townshend... you know, who I reference multiple times in this video. This isn't In Living Color, and if you understand the specific history of that show and the actors and writers in it, you would have known that both the original Good Times and this reboot are the antithesis of what they stood for and are the reasons WHY those black men did their own "black" shows written by "black" writers. I bet you THOUGHT you were slick name dropping In Living Color to a black man who was born in 1978 tho.

the very last episode called the end of the rainbow, they finally got out of the ghetto, jncluding wilona and penny.....jj's comic characters took off, keith was healed and signed to the bears etc why send them back to the ghetto and the same projects
Because it ain't funny to some folks without the backdrop of poverty & trauma
All the time I spent watching Good Times I never thought about them living in the projects ..I saw ppl moving as family.. talent. love ..creativity ..aspirations...
character..the old transitioning into the new..the last episode they left the "projects"..so how the reboot is this degenerate mess?
That's what I was thinking while watching the trailer.
real break down sir of this coontoon ....subbed your channel
Thank you, I appreciate you!
You took the whole theme song out of context. They saying that with all this mess goin on, we should feel lucky to have the good times we do get. Stay focused. 👌🏾💪🏾
I might think that without the "easy credit ripoff" line. That lone, to me, debunks the idea that they're having good times despite the things happening. Easy credit ripoff is something you do, not something you survive. Getting away with easy credit ripoffs are the good times you celebrate. Without that line in the song I'd be open to what you were suggesting.
@@coreybbuckner I don’t how old you are, but they were singing in regards to being victimized by loan sharks. Remember Sweet Daddy Williams got JJ on that? 😂😂
Good Times title was a twist of sarcasm...ppl could see heir lives in the original Good Times..yet there was a since of hope.. resilience and dignity...forward..ppl are talking about watching this trash in order to give a review...it's WORTH zero attention.
Worth zero attention going forward. You don't have to eat poop to see how it tastes before you judge it. As for the theme song, I'm open to that interpretation but even that way it's offensive to me; albeit slightly less offensive.
What is Stephen "Fetchin" Curry's response to this? That should be his name until he properly addresses this. We must also never forget Seth MacFarlane depiction of Harriet Tubman with a naked euro-woman draped across a statue of her on Family Guy over a decade ago! We are demanding that this minstrocity never airs or else!! #cleartheairwavesproject
I'm definitely waiting to see if Steph speaks on it. But I think it's more likely he'll dodge the whole situation & pretend like it never happened
I believe all the voice actors on Cleveland show was white.....
I think that's true too
As a white person I apologize for this happening, and for the fact that season 2 of Velma is coming out soon.
I don't like the Good Times trailer, because it looks like Good Times series. And it looks like a remake of The original Good Times. I thought it's all about The Evans Family when J.J. is a millionaire and continue drawing Dyno Woman comics. Thelma and Keith lives on Baker Street and Keith coaches The Chicago Bears. Winona and Penny lives on Baker Street and owns a boutique. Florida is in charge of a bus barn. And Michael is a lawyer in a successful law firm. And Bookman goes to college
.
It would have been much better had they picked it up where they left off with the family out of the projects
@@coreybbuckner I agree, I understand the original cast of Good Times doesn't like it, because it's disrespectful, and racial profiling. Ask Ralph Carter, John Amos, Jimmie Walker, Bernadette Stanis, and Janet Jackson.
@@waynetubbs3809 nobody seems to like this show
@@coreybbuckner Neither do I.
🤔Drug dealing 👶🏿 they swiped from a Dave Chapelle joke🎯
Fact
I’m sorry but Cleveland my dude lol but yeah the trailer look like some bs
Hs! I know some people rock with him. But the ratings data showed that most blacknpeople either didn't know about him or didn't like him. But, I def know some people who watched
I’m not mad at the satire, I am mad at the reality that some people actually live like this every single day.
@@coreybbuckner yeah he wasn’t worth a damn til he left Loretta, Cleveland show was cool but the side characters made it weak although I fw the first 2 seasons hard
@@godschild1288 personally i don’t see how why ppl get mad at the trailer but bump Sexyy Red the same time it’s the same ignorance just animated and let’s be honest ppl only mad because a white guy name on it
Rappers do this 24/7 but when a white person say the same thing it’s wrong
The good times show is a problem for 2024. However in the 70s we didn’t have much so we had to get what we could back then
EXACTLY! What was excusable then isn't excusable now
I know there ain't nothing funny about it but at least it's showing the truth about the state of our people
But unfortunately in a very disrespectful way that in some ways glorifies it
Absolutely egregious trailer!
It was so bad
I don't think the lyrics in the theme song was saying THOSE were the good times. I think its saying there are good times in between those moments.
I've heard that from several people,and that may be the case. I know a lot of people took it more literally. But, I'd still find it offensive either way based on the content
3:50 that sounds like hard times
I don't know why they let Seth McFarlane work on shows with entirely white casts. Dude's a no talent hack; who makes a show that's just the Simpsons, except worse in every conceivable way? Also Duckman and Scooby-Doo are there for some reason.
I feel the same way.
Nice steam video
Thank you🙌🏽
Who are these people???
So this is a slap in the face because it doesn’t respect the original show and characters? Huh! Welcome to the club.
What club is that?
Bruh. Bring a drink with you. That snorting and swallowing is nasty sounding. Great take otherwise. Just subscribed.
Yes! I was sick as a dog & barely held it together, but couldn't resist speaking on that foul & offensive trailer😂. I appreciate it tho👊🏾
@@coreybbuckner lol. I understand
It’s good times to spite all those horrible things come on man
Nah. If you've watched the show and listened to the testimonies of the actors... those lines were meant exactly as they were stated. Think about what you're saying and ask yourself which full context sentence makes more sense. "Good Times [in spite of] easy credit ripoffs" or "Good Times [because of] easy credit ripoffs"? The cultural insults are the joke.
CORY BUCKNER, POPS FROM 16TH AND SAWYER IN CHICAGO?
KIM, KEVIN, DONNY BUCKNER?
Sorry, that's not me; but my mother is from that area
@@coreybbuckner
Just checking. I've found several lost friends this way.
The world is smaller than we thought.
Thanks for the reply!
Keep doing what you do!
The song was sarcasm sir. Of course those weren’t good times. Listen to it again with some more thought
I grew up watching the originql show, and I've never heard anyone say it was sarcasm. Im not saying you aren't right, im saying I've never heard anyone attached to the show say that or known anyone who heard it that way.
@@coreybbuckner it’s obvious. After each refrain they say “good times!” With aplomb. Then the last line in the chorus is “ain’t we lucky we got ‘em” got what..”good times!” Pretty genius if you ask me
Good job, you are a very good reporter. I enjoy listening. I just subscribed
Thank you, I appreciate that👊🏾
I’m gonna check this show out, but it kinda gave me a bit of a vibe from the trailer. I’m gonna give it a chance, that’s all I can just say rn.
I respect that, maybe you can let me know how it was because I won't be watching.
@@coreybbuckner 👍🏾
Not defending but Seth is just a name same way Steph is. Idk why everyone calling her hispanic lol, but black lady created this show
So she's a idiot regardless?
Ill wait to see it myself before i let someone tell me how to feel about it. Im not going to compare it to anything. Ill see what life elements they bring to it. Appreciate your opinion tho
Honestly if you watch this garbage your mindset is a problem. Respectfully.✊🏿
Insulting, trash and ridiculous! Is that show supposed to be entertaining or funny? It’s neither! The person or persons working for Netlix that gave this show the green light should be fired!
Agreed, and that's the thing. We can put up with being offended if it's actually funny and in good taste. This seems to be none of those things.
Black folks are religious, Seth McFarlane hates God. If you watch "Family Guy"', you'll see from a few episodes.....
That's an interesting point.
The animation is mid looking. it's running on 4s or 5s. It's choppy and ugly and doesn't look like it has a budget coming from netflix.
Yeah, I've heard a lot of people not liking the style. It definitely ain't for everyone
Subbed due to str8 facts spat.
Thank you, I appreciate it👊🏾
I saw that trailer earlier this week and I kinda wish the Cleveland show was still around compared to whatever the hell this was 😂
😂😂😂 right!
Oh my Lord people just looking to get offended. It looks entertaining, it looks funny. If you were around back in the early nineties you would have thought in living color was disrespectful.
This comment is funny for a number of reasons starting with the fact that I was born in 1978 & watch every episode of In Living Color when they first aired & Kenan Ivory Wayans is still one of my favorite writer/directors along side his partner Robert Townshend... you know, who I reference multiple times in this video. This isn't In Living Color, and if you understand the specific history of that show and the actors and writers in it, you would have known that both the original Good Times and this reboot are the antithesis of what they stood for and are the reasons WHY those black men did their own "black" shows written by "black" writers.
I bet you THOUGHT you were slick name dropping In Living Color to a black man who was born in 1978 tho.
This show is MOCKING black people. If you like these vulgar stereotypes, it's safe to say you aren't black.
It is just a modern goodtimes U will be watching it
Nah, I legitimately have no interest in it. If it was "offensive" but funny I may have given it a try. But, this just looks stupid to me.
🤮
My mom and grandpa used to be liking Good Times I didn't they made a reboot and shit B. 😂
I think we would all be better off not knowing that this reboot exists
😂🤪😝😝😝
How is the show trash if it’s not out yet?
He’s capable of smelling rotten food and throwing it out without tasting it. He saw the trailer. He smelled the rot. No need to lick it.
Cats got to try to be the first to get content out🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️....
Trailers show the best of a movie / series to draw an audience. If that trailer was the "best" of the show, no one should watch the rest!
The trailer tells us what they want to know about the show... and what they want us to know about the show is trash.
