Good Times

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.

I couldn't get past the Dad talking to a roach. The Dad coming out naked in front of his daughter. The baby being a drug dealer. This show is not needed...so many stereotypes in this series . It is a slap in the face of the Orginal show ...Ester Rolle wouldn't have any part of this show...this is the reason she left during the taping of the next to last season...I'm hoping they pull this or rename the series at least. I'm not watching it I hope they pull it off of Netflix or I just might unplug Netflix for even thinking that this show would be ok. We are the only race a people in this country that they want to keep down.

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 the past year, Netflix has shifted gears, abandoning the pursuit of quality in favor of becoming a mere content aggregator. Nowhere is this more evident than in their treatment of Black Stories-shallow, tokenistic offerings that scream, "Here's something we think the community will tolerate," devoid of any genuine effort to deliver quality entertainment.

Take, for instance, their recent Shirley Chisholm Movie debacle. It looked as though they threw spare change at it and managed to get everything about Chisholm wrong.

Now Good Times. This insulting portrayal, steeped in old stereotypes, is just the tip of the iceberg. And I highly doubt this poorly executed, offensive mess will win them any new audience.

Netflix originals have become increasingly unbearable. From the disaster that was the Zack Snyder debacle to the mishandling of "3 Body Problem," it's evident that Netflix's enthusiasm for new creators and bold ideas has waned, replaced by tired clichés and a race to the bottom.

We may be witnessing the twilight of the streaming golden age, but I never imagined quality would plummet to such depths in a business model reliant on subscriber retention.

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.
