Everybody Hates Chris man. Crews’ character just wanted the best for his family and to teach them how to get good stuff for lower prices, and how to take care of yourself. My favorite though, he was a loving father. “You ever lay hands on my boy again, you ain’t goin to jail.” Then he pulls up a bat. “I’M goin to jail!” Hell yea!
Great show. I think Crews is a national treasure. I loved Good Times as a kid, with Sanford and Son. And despite not having DEI, I completely related to that show as a poor. Except his family was sweet, and that is what I like about it.This is offensive.
I feel like we have a Velma situation, in that, this was supposed to be an original show but it needed to be hooked with an established name to get green lit.
Velma, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, the I Am NOT Starfire comic, the canceled before it was published Marvel New Warriors comic, Disney Star Wars, the current state of Dungeons and Dragons. This has been happening for years. And these are just SOME examples. I can only hope that this will be a tipping point for people to get it together.
I disagree. This is Norman Lear's original vision for the show that he was unable to implement with the integrity of the original actors. There's a reason why his 101 year old, on his deathbed ass was, as the crew said, "in the writers meetings" and made a cameo.

Why would you define yourself as what your not when you should be defining yourself as what you are?
I swear sometimes black activists either forget or ignore the fact that other PoC exist. Saw someone insist a darker skinned comic book character was a black woman who "needed to put down the straightener" and drew her in the most stereotypical way possible with a fro undercut, a huge ass and Afrocentric features, none of which she has in the comics. The hell of it is she's the love interest of a non black Latino character, and it never occurs that she is also non black Latina. Or Indian. Or native. Or Middle Eastern. It's immediately "her skin is a bit dark, therefore she must be black and her straight hair can't be natural."

Thank you, I'm glad to see other people remember too that Bebe's Kids is the original that someone once saw and thought they could recreate a comedy classic. Tone Loc doing the voice was funny for the baby because it was intentionally satirical, this rips directly off it and lost all the humor entirely. I seriously wonder of the family of Robbin Harris could bring a lawsuit for intellectual property theft of the late comedy writer's work. The whole movie was totally inspired by his stand-up comedy act, which you even see at the start of it. I want to see what Ruined Leon's reaction would be to seeing it for the first time, if he hasn't already.

Just like with Velma, I knew this “show” was going to be bad, but not this SPECTACULARLY bad. Hollywood is so desperate for attention and are so lazy that we’ve now been getting shows that are just “In Name Only”.
I would’ve been all over a show that looked like his paintings come to life. This barely qualifies as animation. Even the “banned” cartoons from the 1940s at least moved like real cartoons.
This is like the evil alternate universe PJs making a highly unwelcome intrusion into any semblance of peace we enjoyed with Black struggle narratives played as comedy, actually being comedy and not mean spirited digs at our "culture" because "Yall niqqaz 🅱️rAzY!"
This literally has me on the verge of crying. I was young young when my grandparents used to watch this. I still remembering my mom with a red shirt that said "dynomite" this is literally my childhood they're messing up. Why can't they make new stuff? Not take old and rip it to pieces to where it's no where near the original anyways!?
The white women screaming for more black representation also happen to hate masculinity. Every black male in comic books is either pushed aside for a women, or made to be effeminate and harmless.
@narutogen13 bro, they were in my head when I typed that! They fucking destroyed what I loved about static too. Not sure about GL Jhon he might be the same more or less. Cyborg is ok sometimes.
The sad thing about this is that John Amos who played the dad in the original sitcom was let go and his character killed off after 3 seasons because he and Ester Rolle wanted to have a more positive reflection of a black family. Rolle hated the minstrel caricature of JJ with his “Dynomite!” catch phrase. This “modern” version seems way more embarrassing. Yikes 🙃
The just put Seth McFarlands name on it for credentials and name recognition. But for real I liked OG Good Times and feel bad that they did y'all like this. You backed us up Leon so yt folks got your back on this my friend
My wife and I made it to about 15 minutes. She found the Jesus jokes blasphemous. I was bored the entire time. These black stereotypes stopped being funny a long time ago because of how much they have used.
I have been watching shows from the 70's and 80's lately I legitimately have been avoiding most modern shit because of this type of shit and Hollywood has went creatively bankrupt nothing but reboots and remakes
I'm white English 64 year old. My family used to watch the Beverly hillbillies.Anybody who doesn't like the Beverly hillbillies has no sense of humour. Hilarious
It perpetuates the stereotype Hillbillies are ignorant. Jethro was repeating the 4th grade, Ellie didn’t attend school. As hillbillie adjacent I’m offended sir.
I don't look at the original "Good Times" as a black show. It has black actors but every episode was fun, funny, and resonates. Maybe because i grew up in southern California race wasn't really an issue. Our "gang" of friends was basically the 90s demographics. Leon would have immediately been hanging out with our group. This show is great, get shitfaced and go Mystery Science 3000 on it. All kinds of fun to be had. I've never experienced black culture like this, it's such a terrible stereotype.
It's not shocking. Hollywood now lives in a reality where stereotypes and generalizations are reality. As an hispanic, I wouldn't be surprised if they released an animated show where all the hispanics were portrayed as either lazy, or just a bunch of land workers, or any other stereotype we're known for. I mean, I thought Blue Beetle was stretching it already. To this dying dystopia, I bet they'd make it and then call everyone racist for not watching it. My condolences Leon.
The problem with representation is that every box ticking character has to be representative of ALL the community they're a part of. It's literally the opposite of diversity. Forget there being diversity within groups, it's come full circle now where everyone is just a stereotype.
It feels like they were trying to recreate Stewie from Family Guy, but missed the fact that his existence is so hilarious because, no matter what he does, he's always treated like a baby by everyone but the DOG.
Watch them get on us as self-hating or someshit because even the hoodiest Hood Black person knows how to pronounce "criteria" and they really did way too much in so many [dis]respects
@@TerminaUltima And people was trying to cancel fat Albert and the crew. Saying that it was racial stereotype characters. Now here we are with the most racial stereotype character and people are legitimately trying to defend it.
I was sad when he left. I loved that show. In my opinion I think the Evans were a good family. I’m sure Esther Rolle is rolling in her grave. So help me god they better not reboot Sanford and son.
It is but it's still hilarious how much the perception of typical Seth McFarlane and his typical stereotyping changes suddenly when it's not featuring an Irish family.
@@rustyshackleford1062idk, it was pretty transparent to me in Family Guy and American Dad. Seth seems to have something against the people far south...
@garuelx8627 Not far South, the South as a whole. It's typical for writers not from the South, especially ones from the East and West coast (the superiority complex is obvious). The country never really healed and came together after the Civil War, we just pretend we did.
Huh?! 4:19 - 'She was mixed too, so have fun with that'. Woah g, Miles Morales is mixed too, you can't claim him in one sentence then send strays at us mixed people's way. Now now. You tryna start something
I grew up with "Good Times." I had no black people in my neighborhood and school. I didn't know any. But We loved "Good Times." I could relate . Times were hard, money and food was short. Except their family got along better, and I wished I had a dad like " James." Did It matter that they were a different color than me? Not one Damn bit! How dare they mess with "Good Times"!!!
To say I was a fan of Good times is the mother of ALLLLL understatements!!! It was my favorite of all favorites and considering I'm 54 years old and I watched it every single day at 4:40 and when asked what my favorite show was and I told the teacher her black jaw bout hit the floor and when I told her I wished Florida was my Mama she gave me a look I've never seen before or after because here's my little mudkracker butt, with blond hair, light green purple eyes and considered a Heinz 57, because I lived in a time, when we're just Americans and I loved it!!! FuC the WoKE they've ruined EvErYtHiNg!!! So needless to say I'm not watching the remake because I would be trapped with that forever burned in my brain!. 🙏🏻4 ✌🏼 AlWaYs ❣️
Everybody wanted to shit on Cleveland show but it was actually really good. I bet you'd watch all of Cleveland show before another episode of this lmao.
Yeah, this made me want to go back and watch reruns of the original "Good Times", which led to "What's Happening" and, ironically ... "Bebe's Kids". . Damn ... I'm officially "OLD".
As a grown white man, I used to watch 'Good Times' all the time as a kid, along with 'Fat Albert' (Saturday morning, don'cha know...). I suspect I won't be watching this. I'll probably binge 'Fallout' for the third time (yeah, it's that good...). Watching you guys' reactions: 🤣🤣🤣
37:15 If they like something that was made to appeal to them but others don't, then those people must be . But also if they don't like something that was made to appeal to them, then it must be the fault of big bad "oppressors". Mofos can never take any accountability, it's always someone else's fault.
You guys remember a couple of years ago when Netflix fired actors because they weren’t the same race as the characters they played on Animated shows? Only to have them green light this show which arguably did more to set a whole race back than what ever could have transpired if they let those initial actors keep their jobs.
31:59 Fairly certain if they made a Static Shock movie, there is a strong likely hood it would have ended up like this. The Static Shock cartoon is an iconic part of my childhood, so it would be hard to make anything to stand up to it.
So this is fine...but Disney goes above and beyond to erase Splash Mountain/Song of The South and how James Baskett was the first black person to win a movie award, which the very white Walt Disney fought like hell for him to get? I said this before, and I'll say it again. This makes me want fo put on a trench coat, use full body pale make-up, put on a blonde wig and add in blue contacts while talking with a European accent. Forget being invited to the cook out. Crap like this makes more black people put a sweater around their neck in the summer and join the country club. Utterly ridiculous.
It's wild because a regular broadcast station called Dabl was recently changed to a channel that plays only black sitcoms (Sister, Sister, The Game, One on One, Half and Half, Moesha etc.) from the 90s-00s and they are actually funny and don't portray their characters as borderline racist stereotypes. What the fuck happened?
@LunaMane, What are you talking about? Splash Mountain was removed, because the ride portrayed racist stereotypes. Sounds like we are getting a Tiana ride in place of it.
@@sexy1018 So you're going to act like Disney only did this because it's cheaper to re-skin Splash Mountain as a Princess & the Frog ride rather than build a new ride, the fact that things were a product of their time, how many people especially black folks like me petitioned for that ride to be left alone and the historical significance of Song Of the South as I pointed out about James Baskett? Disney won't give you a cookie, kid.
Yea seen the trailer and my god this has to be one of the worst proportions show I have seen. They messed up a side table in one of the backgrounds making it look like a U10 person drew it.
Blame the success of shows like gum ball and stephen universe. Thanks to that most studios now believe the only way any cartoon or animation can possibly succeed is if it copies the same art style. Not realizing animation is a blend of good art and good writing that come together seemlessly to make something incredible. Essentially, they are trying to capture lightning in a bottle for a second time.And that's never going to happen.
Why does the Mom have blonde hair? That's not a natural hair color for her She looks like Joyless Reid from MSNBC 😂 I ain't ever seen nor heard of this show until now. Thank you for telling me about a show I will never watch 😂
WesSideLive did a reaction to this. Just... w h y? Gimme The Boondocks, Cannon Busters, Michiko & Hatchin, anything like that please. Not this trash. Edit: Showed my Mom the trailer; she grew up watching the original and it's one of her favorite shows. The absolute disgust on her face when I told her this was a reboot.
Same, I'm glad he called out that shitty The Root article. Black and White "creators" and "execs" were on this. Let everyone catch the appropriate smoke lmao. Update: Ah! I spoke too soon, my bad. They addressed that both parties contributed to this shit.
70’s Black TV was a better parent to me than my own. As a poor white girl in the 70’s (with black friends and enemies. ) Black Family TV shows were the the only ones depicting the struggle of impoverished Americans. So being a street fighter, (yes fought the boys) it seemed that every conflict in my life , including my family’s, ended in violence. But black TV taught better ways to handle conflict. I loved it! To think there was a place where poor people wouldn’t beat each other down and instead lift one another up sounded really awesome. Thank you for warning about this “Shush Show” before I started shouting and hitting the TV in my own home! This makes me cry :.( What a shame to lower that status. It was such a wonderful era in television!
I saw the trailer for good times and I felt sick at how choppy the animation was. how does someone put animation this bad in the trailer? the style looks it ripped off rocket power and the proud family with shoestring budget the themes in the trailer looked like they were going for a tired cliche checklist. and when it comes to rebooting a franchise that was live action, they shouldn't go too cartoony like having a drug dealing baby because it doesn't fit the flexible reality of the source material. the boondocks is a good example of a show with a flexible reality.
Now it's been decades but I watched Good Times when it came out. It was a great show and it did deal with serious issues. And the family loved each other. All this cartoon took was the name of the show, in no way is it a reboot.😢
I come to you humble. I was born and raised in Mexico. All I ever saw was other Mexican people. There was zero diversity from where I am from. All I "knew" of black people was what was shown in the media. That's it. There was no internet, no outside commentary such as this channel, and no independent critics. We have been fed this type of stereotyping for decades. Fast forward many years, and my family and I moved to the U.S. I clearly remember when we moved into our new apartment, I saw that our neighbors were a black two-parent, three teenage (two boys, one girl) family. My first reaction was fear. I thought one of the boys will rob me and the girl will kick my butt. So I kept my distance and did not even look their way. Months passed. My sister who is around the same age as the eldest teen neighbor, started a friendship. Little by little he came over, my sister with our parent's permission, would invite him to stay with all of us for dinner. Then the sister started talking to me. It was hard to have a conversation due to the language barrier. She didn't know Spanish, I didn't know English. It didn't matter. Somehow we were able to communicate. Eventually, my parents became friends with the neighbors. The mom wanted to learn how to cook traditional Mexican food, and vice-versa, so they thought each other's their cultural food. My dad also became close friends with the dad because they both love the same football team. After a while, we were all good friends. One day my mother informed us, the kids, that our cousin from L.A. was going to stay the whole summer with us. He was seventeen. It was a nightmare. I have never felt more insecure and afraid of being in my own home alone with a family member. He was a cholo with cholo friends. Both my parents worked two jobs so they rarely were home. Due to the situation, I kept spending more time in my friend's apartment. I only felt safe being next door in their apartment. Two years passed, and my sister married one of the sons! Now I have four beautiful nieces and nephews! My oldest niece is now twenty-four and my youngest nephew is seventeen. Those neighbors whom I felt fear towards (it shames me to admit to this) are now my family! I have no reason to lie, so when I say that when I am with my nieces and nephews, my brother-in-law, and his extended family, I no longer see them as black people. They are my family who happened to be black. I trust more that side of my family than my cholo cousins! I say all of that to say this, the media wants to segregate us. The media, news, TV shows, movies, etc.. need us to fight. Racism is profitable. The media poisons and programs our thinking. They lump each race, play all the stereotypes stir the pot, then sit back and wait for shit to hit the fan. Yes, we have cultural differences, of course we do! But we are more alike than not. It pains me to see an animated show such as this. I know what it does to a child's mind. It plants the seed of thinking all black people must be that way. Some people do act that way but not, I repeat not all! Why do they concentrate on the ratchet people? Why can't they make entertainment putting us in a better light without labeling it as "Latino" or "black" entertainment? Let the work speak for itself! In all my years in the U.S. I have never been more insulted than now. Being told by our government that we don't know how to use a computer, not to show an ID to vote because we are too ignorant to feeble-minded to be able to apply for one, to lower the academic bar so we can graduate. They have no positive high intellectual expectations of us. They are calling us inferior, and they (whoever the real "they" are) hide their hate and racism in plain sight under the banner of "equality" and "representation" "They" are mocking us in our face. This is how they see all of us, and this is the way they want the world to see all of us.

Just like with Velma, I knew this “show” was going to be bad, but not this SPECTACULARLY bad. Hollywood is so desperate for attention and are so lazy that we’ve now been getting shows that are just “In Name Only”.
This is so much worse than Velma that they shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence.
so did I
They didn't even have the respect to use the same art style that JJ used in the show
I would’ve been all over a show that looked like his paintings come to life. This barely qualifies as animation. Even the “banned” cartoons from the 1940s at least moved like real cartoons.

The PJs was amazing
This is like the evil alternate universe PJs making a highly unwelcome intrusion into any semblance of peace we enjoyed with Black struggle narratives played as comedy, actually being comedy and not mean spirited digs at our "culture" because "Yall niqqaz 🅱️rAzY!"
The PJs is on RUclips i watch episodes still.
Omg the PJs was hilarious.
No leave that show alone. They will butcher it
Why is the Dad drawn so differently from the rest of the family? It's so jarring.

What timestamp

LOL
If you send this to Gothix, she’s gonna have a stroke.
This literally has me on the verge of crying. I was young young when my grandparents used to watch this. I still remembering my mom with a red shirt that said "dynomite" this is literally my childhood they're messing up. Why can't they make new stuff? Not take old and rip it to pieces to where it's no where near the original anyways!?
Sad part is we had great black characters in the past live action or cartoons, comics from the 70s up to maybe arguably 2004.
Static shock and JL John stewart cyborg from TeenTitens are biggest one's I can think of
The white women screaming for more black representation also happen to hate masculinity. Every black male in comic books is either pushed aside for a women, or made to be effeminate and harmless.
@narutogen13 bro, they were in my head when I typed that! They fucking destroyed what I loved about static too. Not sure about GL Jhon he might be the same more or less. Cyborg is ok sometimes.
@@narutogen13 JL Animated Series John Stewart is my favorite one ngl.
@flarestriker2005 Same here, man.I was devastated with how they treated him in suicide squad
The sad thing about this is that John Amos who played the dad in the original sitcom was let go and his character killed off after 3 seasons because he and Ester Rolle wanted to have a more positive reflection of a black family. Rolle hated the minstrel caricature of JJ with his “Dynomite!” catch phrase. This “modern” version seems way more embarrassing. Yikes 🙃

Aint that something.
The PJs did it FAR better and will always be the better show.
I’ll still get nostalgic for the PJs and just watch it they even do 24 hour reruns on RUclips.

I don't look at the original "Good Times" as a black show. It has black actors but every episode was fun, funny, and resonates. Maybe because i grew up in southern California race wasn't really an issue. Our "gang" of friends was basically the 90s demographics. Leon would have immediately been hanging out with our group. This show is great, get shitfaced and go Mystery Science 3000 on it. All kinds of fun to be had. I've never experienced black culture like this, it's such a terrible stereotype.
It's not shocking. Hollywood now lives in a reality where stereotypes and generalizations are reality. As an hispanic, I wouldn't be surprised if they released an animated show where all the hispanics were portrayed as either lazy, or just a bunch of land workers, or any other stereotype we're known for. I mean, I thought Blue Beetle was stretching it already. To this dying dystopia, I bet they'd make it and then call everyone racist for not watching it.
My condolences Leon.
The problem with representation is that every box ticking character has to be representative of ALL the community they're a part of. It's literally the opposite of diversity. Forget there being diversity within groups, it's come full circle now where everyone is just a stereotype.
Duuude, for real.
When I finished the bum ass trailer I thought: "Ooooh, this is the Black version of Primos. 🤢"
Leon's sanity is audibly slipping away, sending thoughts and prayers to him 🙏
It feels like they were trying to recreate Stewie from Family Guy, but missed the fact that his existence is so hilarious because, no matter what he does, he's always treated like a baby by everyone but the DOG.
The same people: “You’re stereotyping us!”
Watch them get on us as self-hating or someshit because even the hoodiest Hood Black person knows how to pronounce "criteria" and they really did way too much in so many [dis]respects
They get mad at the stereotype but still proceed to do it anyway. You can't have it both ways!
@@takeoasylum1775that's the same with any race

This is the reason John left. He wasn’t feeling the “normalization” of the downtrodden black family.

@@kimseiberling5263Don't give them ideas.
Exactly, communities are HARDER to change if you keep making money off and promoting stereotypes.
JJ had a major hand in John leaving the show.
If I'm remembering correctly, he really disliked how popular JJ's character had become, because he saw it as a bad stereotype.

Seth Macfarlane is an executive producer. Let that sink in…
I’m not surprised by that.
Not eating causes ketoacidosis which leads to a fruity or acetone (nail polish remover) smell of the breath.

Couldn't agree more.
If you look at Seth MacFarlane's past work, this is par for the course for him...
It is but it's still hilarious how much the perception of typical Seth McFarlane and his typical stereotyping changes suddenly when it's not featuring an Irish family.
A black woman created this show.
@@rustyshackleford1062idk, it was pretty transparent to me in Family Guy and American Dad. Seth seems to have something against the people far south...
@garuelx8627 Not far South, the South as a whole. It's typical for writers not from the South, especially ones from the East and West coast (the superiority complex is obvious). The country never really healed and came together after the Civil War, we just pretend we did.

I grew up with "Good Times." I had no black people in my neighborhood and school. I didn't know any. But We loved "Good Times." I could relate . Times were hard, money and food was short.
Except their family got along better, and I wished I had a dad like " James."
Did It matter that they were a different color than me?
Not one Damn bit!
How dare they mess with "Good Times"!!!
To say I was a fan of Good times is the mother of ALLLLL understatements!!!
It was my favorite of all favorites and considering I'm 54 years old and I watched it every single day at 4:40 and when asked what my favorite show was and I told the teacher her black jaw bout hit the floor and when I told her I wished Florida was my Mama she gave me a look I've never seen before or after because here's my little mudkracker butt, with blond hair, light green purple eyes and considered a Heinz 57, because I lived in a time, when we're just Americans and I loved it!!!

What's Happening was my favorite. Rerun was so cool.

I bet you'd watch all of Cleveland show before another episode of this lmao.
I didn't love it, but way better than this.
Yeah, this made me want to go back and watch reruns of the original "Good Times", which led to "What's Happening" and, ironically ... "Bebe's Kids".

What's Happening was the greatest show.
I loved Rerun, and Shirley Hemphill.
I forgot all about Bebe's Kids. That was a good movie

As a grown white man, I used to watch 'Good Times' all the time as a kid, along with 'Fat Albert' (Saturday morning, don'cha know...). I suspect I won't be watching this. I'll probably binge 'Fallout' for the third time (yeah, it's that good...). Watching you guys' reactions: 🤣🤣🤣
37:15 If they like something that was made to appeal to them but others don't, then those people must be . But also if they don't like something that was made to appeal to them, then it must be the fault of big bad "oppressors". Mofos can never take any accountability, it's always someone else's fault.
You guys remember a couple of years ago when Netflix fired actors because they weren’t the same race as the characters they played on Animated shows? Only to have them green light this show which arguably did more to set a whole race back than what ever could have transpired if they let those initial actors keep their jobs.
31:59 Fairly certain if they made a Static Shock movie, there is a strong likely hood it would have ended up like this. The Static Shock cartoon is an iconic part of my childhood, so it would be hard to make anything to stand up to it.
So this is fine...but Disney goes above and beyond to erase Splash Mountain/Song of The South and how James Baskett was the first black person to win a movie award, which the very white Walt Disney fought like hell for him to get?
I said this before, and I'll say it again. This makes me want fo put on a trench coat, use full body pale make-up, put on a blonde wig and add in blue contacts while talking with a European accent. Forget being invited to the cook out. Crap like this makes more black people put a sweater around their neck in the summer and join the country club.
Utterly ridiculous.
It's wild because a regular broadcast station called Dabl was recently changed to a channel that plays only black sitcoms (Sister, Sister, The Game, One on One, Half and Half, Moesha etc.) from the 90s-00s and they are actually funny and don't portray their characters as borderline racist stereotypes. What the fuck happened?
@@nightmarefanatic1819Best times for Black representation TV. I’m 49 and grew up watching all them shows , they were great!
@LunaMane, What are you talking about? Splash Mountain was removed, because the ride portrayed racist stereotypes. Sounds like we are getting a Tiana ride in place of it.
God Rest Walt
@@sexy1018 So you're going to act like Disney only did this because it's cheaper to re-skin Splash Mountain as a Princess & the Frog ride rather than build a new ride, the fact that things were a product of their time, how many people especially black folks like me petitioned for that ride to be left alone and the historical significance of Song Of the South as I pointed out about James Baskett?
Disney won't give you a cookie, kid.

Lack of creativity. They are hiring based on diversity checkboxes instead of talent and merit.
Aside from how stereotypical it is, is there some sort of rule that all cartoons have to be ugly and poorly-drawn? I hate that CalArts sh*t.
Yea seen the trailer and my god this has to be one of the worst proportions show I have seen. They messed up a side table in one of the backgrounds making it look like a U10 person drew it.
Blame the success of shows like gum ball and stephen universe. Thanks to that most studios now believe the only way any cartoon or animation can possibly succeed is if it copies the same art style. Not realizing animation is a blend of good art and good writing that come together seemlessly to make something incredible. Essentially, they are trying to capture lightning in a bottle for a second time.And that's never going to happen.
I looked for this comment. It is terrible in so many different ways. I also can’t help but be unsettled by it…as if talentless evil tried to make art.

70’s Black TV was a better parent to me than my own. As a poor white girl in the 70’s (with black friends and enemies. ) Black Family TV shows were the the only ones depicting the struggle of impoverished Americans.
So being a street fighter, (yes fought the boys) it seemed that every conflict in my life , including my family’s, ended in violence.
But black TV taught better ways to handle conflict.
I loved it!
To think there was a place where poor people wouldn’t beat each other down and instead lift one another up sounded really awesome.
Thank you for warning about this “Shush Show” before I started shouting and hitting the TV in my own home!

Yeah not to nit pick but not eating can cause bad breath. Learned this the hard way when I decided to fast a few years back.
I saw the trailer for good times and I felt sick at how choppy the animation was. how does someone put animation this bad in the trailer? the style looks it ripped off rocket power and the proud family with shoestring budget the themes in the trailer looked like they were going for a tired cliche checklist. and when it comes to rebooting a franchise that was live action, they shouldn't go too cartoony like having a drug dealing baby because it doesn't fit the flexible reality of the source material. the boondocks is a good example of a show with a flexible reality.
I loved Good Times...but it lost a little when John Amos left
Now it's been decades but I watched Good Times when it came out. It was a great show and it did deal with serious issues. And the family loved each other.
All this cartoon took was the name of the show, in no way is it a reboot.😢

This is why i don't trust anyone to reboot the boondocks keep Seth Macfarlane the hell away from that show
Aww man. I grew up on that show :(
I come to you humble. I was born and raised in Mexico. All I ever saw was other Mexican people. There was zero diversity from where I am from. All I "knew" of black people was what was shown in the media. That's it. There was no internet, no outside commentary such as this channel, and no independent critics. We have been fed this type of stereotyping for decades. Fast forward many years, and my family and I moved to the U.S. I clearly remember when we moved into our new apartment, I saw that our neighbors were a black two-parent, three teenage (two boys, one girl) family. My first reaction was fear. I thought one of the boys will rob me and the girl will kick my butt. So I kept my distance and did not even look their way. Months passed. My sister who is around the same age as the eldest teen neighbor, started a friendship. Little by little he came over, my sister with our parent's permission, would invite him to stay with all of us for dinner. Then the sister started talking to me. It was hard to have a conversation due to the language barrier. She didn't know Spanish, I didn't know English. It didn't matter. Somehow we were able to communicate. Eventually, my parents became friends with the neighbors. The mom wanted to learn how to cook traditional Mexican food, and vice-versa, so they thought each other's their cultural food. My dad also became close friends with the dad because they both love the same football team. After a while, we were all good friends. One day my mother informed us, the kids, that our cousin from L.A. was going to stay the whole summer with us. He was seventeen. It was a nightmare. I have never felt more insecure and afraid of being in my own home alone with a family member. He was a cholo with cholo friends. Both my parents worked two jobs so they rarely were home. Due to the situation, I kept spending more time in my friend's apartment. I only felt safe being next door in their apartment. Two years passed, and my sister married one of the sons! Now I have four beautiful nieces and nephews! My oldest niece is now twenty-four and my youngest nephew is seventeen. Those neighbors whom I felt fear towards (it shames me to admit to this) are now my family! I have no reason to lie, so when I say that when I am with my nieces and nephews, my brother-in-law, and his extended family, I no longer see them as black people. They are my family who happened to be black. I trust more that side of my family than my cholo cousins! I say all of that to say this, the media wants to segregate us. The media, news, TV shows, movies, etc.. need us to fight. Racism is profitable. The media poisons and programs our thinking. They lump each race, play all the stereotypes stir the pot, then sit back and wait for shit to hit the fan. Yes, we have cultural differences, of course we do! But we are more alike than not. It pains me to see an animated show such as this. I know what it does to a child's mind. It plants the seed of thinking all black people must be that way. Some people do act that way but not, I repeat not all! Why do they concentrate on the ratchet people? Why can't they make entertainment putting us in a better light without labeling it as "Latino" or "black" entertainment? Let the work speak for itself! In all my years in the U.S. I have never been more insulted than now. Being told by our government that we don't know how to use a computer, not to show an ID to vote because we are too ignorant to feeble-minded to be able to apply for one, to lower the academic bar so we can graduate. They have no positive high intellectual expectations of us. They are calling us inferior, and they (whoever the real "they" are) hide their hate and racism in plain sight under the banner of "equality" and "representation" "They" are mocking us in our face. This is how they see all of us, and this is the way they want the world to see all of us.
