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.

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.

I can't believe what I just watched. Saw someone post a screenshot of this and thought I'd give it a shot. Wow. Thinks actually embarrassing. Why as black people do we want to perpetuate stereotypes that have harmed our communities and our own well-being. We've come so far and now this????? Whatever intelligent comedy there may be here is lost because we have to sit through gun violence by children (literal babies!), roaches in the apartment, glorifying "hoes"...when it first started and they referenced the "white Jesus" episode of the original show I though we were going somewhere empowering, but no. Just another act of self-hatred billed as art. We have to do better.

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 understand the reboot and the concept but the stereotypes are killing me I couldn't get pass the first episode its actually embarrassing. I can't believe the actors went along with a 1 year old selling drugs, then they say he's a mirror to stewie from family guy naww. I honestly believe they felt the show was funny and they would get the best response from it. Being from Chicago we try to stay away from stereotypes but as a whole this set us back like 50 years. This is not why we work hard to be portrayed like this on TV I didnt find this show funny at all, it actually looked like a good a watch but i couldnt continue.
