Good Times

The original "Good Times" series was the first black family series before many others made their debut. It was relatable to many within the black community because it depicted the daily struggles families faced while trying to survive living in the projects. I can't define sensibly what this new generation of Good Times is trying to depict. It was extremely difficult to follow each episode. The scenes were too busy, the characters movements were lacking fluidity, the language and subject matter was obscene. It's really a shame. I expected more to pay homage to the original Good Times. No good.

Other than the characters names this show has absolutely nothing to do with the message that the original tv show was trying to get across, and what idiot thought a baby selling Crack was going to be funny? Black people have come to far for this BS and need to let Netflix know it, don't know why in the year 2024 anyone would make such garbage, it is embarrassing and an insult to all black people, except Tim Scott and Byron Donald's who think we act this way in real life, I really wonder what audience was this actually made for, was it made for an African American family or was it made to further the racism being brought about in politics.

In 1974, lear, Monte and others, created one of the greatest tv shows of all time, good times, it had humor, laughs and great performances throughout, even, The catchphrase dynomite was cool as well, as for this new one and it is total garbage, there is only some chuckle or two, the performances are horrible, the animation is worthless, the teleplay is pathetic and the writing is just b.s. Throughout, let's just say that I hated every inch of this reboot, even more offensive than the grotesque splatter is the use of a baby as a drug dealer, now I found that to be completely cynical and truly dreadful, this is yet another reason why I turned the TV off, the first in 12 years, this new good times is just truly pathetic and it's heading on my list of the worst television of 2024 and it deserves to be

I gave good times a big fat f.

Representation matters and this is not what represents Black people in 2024. Sadly, those defending this show as funny do not realize that these same creators and producers would NEVER make a show with stereotypes like this for non-Black people. Saying this baby is comparable to Stewie is the definition of Playing in our faces. One baby is a drug dealer and the other is a witty genius. This is a 2024 minstrel show and Netflix should be ashamed for airing it. This show is not Boondocks and it's definitely is not a reboot of Good Times. The live show ended with the Evans family getting out of the projects and moving toward creating generational wealth. Seth and Steph's show has the family five generations later in a situation that is absolutely 100 levels worse and no improvement or inspiration to be had. This show Is the definition of Blaxploitation and I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired of how Black Americans are represented, even when it is supposed to be satire. This is not satire, it is just sad and tired.

This is an insult in all shapes and sizes. How dare they desecrate my youthful television favorite with this racist characterizations. The people of color who signed up for and are behind this atrocity should be deeply ashamed to have their name associated with this crap. Talk about two steps back. J. B should know better but I guess the money was good. WTH Curry got to do with movies, stay in your lane dude. I am sure his dad watched the original as I did in Staunton but obviously he never shared the it with Stephan. Wonder what Dale thinks of this. Netflix should remove this as soon as possible. Absolutely nothing to see here! 👎🏿
