    I think Netflix saw the hate-watch numbers that Velma pulled, and now they're milking Good Times for ragebait. It doesn't matter if people are watching from anger - views are views. But this is WAY worse than Velma. Good Times was one of the first widely popular cable shows to depict issues facing Black communities, including racism and structurally enforced poverty. Yet it didn't sensationalize or exploit its subject matter. Good Times was about family, resilience, and hope. It relevant when it came out in the 70's and it's still deeply relevant today. Netflix ripping Good Times off for shock value and cheap laughs is just criminal. Horrible.

      Norman Lear stole a lot of his shows from black creator's, from "Good Times" to Sanford and Son he even stole "all in the family", FUN FACT: Eric Monte the true creator of Good Times also wrote Cooley High a black American staple and that movie was actually based on his life.

      Eric Monte sued and was paid $ 1 million dollars settlement and a small percentage of residuals from Good Times and one percentage ownership of the show. Eric made the mistake of not getting his creations written into a contract so he could get his proper payments,then started crying-FOUL-when he didn't recieve credit or payments for his ideals. Mean while Norman Lear was worth $ 300 million before he died.

    Also, I love how the NAACP said that choices were made with the marketing and I would say the same for the whole show. As it's mostly black talent behind this that should know better 🤨.

I was stunned they got top voice actors to be involved along with having Steph Curry and Seth McFarlane produce this. I get maybe the fact Norman Leer was involved before he passed but did noone watch the pilot before airing??
    I'm not as offended by shows mentioned on Adult Swim featuring black characters like Korey seems to be especially Boondocks. To me the show was making fun of the stereotypes.

I know it's supposed to be a comedy, but it appears that some parts of it are trying to make a statement about life in the "Hood" and be social commentary. For example, the part where they imply that the "powers that be" are putting guns into their community, but in the same light, they present a school official whose name is "Ms. Likeigiveashit", and when the mom is there to discuss her son's education, this school administrator suggest he consider doing "Only Fans"?
