Bruh! The way you just started looking at the camera in disgust and disbelief is exactly how I felt watching this trailer. I can tell you one show I won’t be watching at all… this one
When I first saw the trailer I said there can not have been any black writers in the room when this script was put together. This is too offensive to any intelligent black person to give a pass. Then in this video I'm informed that it was CREATED by black creators .... I'm Effin' speachless! AND I'm even more disappointed with the voice actors like Jay Pharoah, JB Smooth, and Wanda Sykes. I understand things are hard in Hollywood right now and I'm not trying to be hating on any actors getting a paycheck while and when you can but how can you sleep at night attaching your name and brand to this project. SMFH 😑
i grew up watching the original and this trailer makes me equal parts sad and angry. John Amos was an amazing man and this show has no right being tied to his work in any way
When I first heard about this, it was 9th Wonder on IG announcing he’d be scoring the soundtrack. My first reaction was “why does it have the same name as the show from the 70’s?…..oh….Nope, nope, nope!” I wanted no parts of it because I didn’t understand what why and who. What could this be about? Why would they pick THIS show to turn into a cartoon? & Who is the target audience? I then caught wind of the negative press so i watched the trailer and saw norm, Seth & Steph. Still a hard pass but I didn’t think it was really real. Once I saw it go viral, I hoped they’d cancel it. It got released and I’m yet to watch an episode. We know what’s up if a season 2 gets greenlit.
I watched 5 episodes and reviewed them on my Twitter. It's as unfunny, dated, and degrading as you think it is. Yvette Nicole Brown one of the voice actors blocked me on Twitter when I gave her some feedback on the show.
Thank you for the confirmation @BusinessMan1619 ! I was thinking maybe it won't be as bad as I thought, it seems to try to have a message in the trailer. They should be ashamed of themselves.
I've been re-watching Good Times for the past year, and can't get enough! I enjoyed the show as a kid, and now am really appreciating the finer storylines, as well as finding it funnier than ever. ... I was as appalled as you looked. ... I'm speechless, except to totally agree with you. Whatever that was, is the complete opposite of Good Times. I was really willing to bend the rules for an updated version, but that's some kind of awful joke. Did I see Norman Lear's name somewhere in that intro, like wtaf?
That's the name I keep hearing "Lear" apparently he's no good. I feel bad for the actors involved in this, this is a bad stamp on their resume 😂. I'll probably watch the original to get this out my mind lol
I feel like this being made by all black creators makes you unable to call it full of stereotypes. Your aloud not to like something and it not be against a whole group of people you belong to.
It was "made" by black creators the same way a manager "runs" a business. The higher ups signed off on these racist stereotypes, and they don't look like us!
because it is made by black creators is the freaking problem....it is full of stereotypes and some black media artist are just capitalizing off of black ignorance...honestly it's sad...I will not watch it..I grew up watching the original good times....this was a wasted effort.
This is supposed to be reimagining of Good Times? I remember watching it as a kid and it was a lot more self respecting than this garbage I just witnessed.
You was on point when you said they merged Pj's in the Projects and Boondocks. And although they were funny then, Hood culture has got to clean up so this type of show would only appeal to people that have no goals.
Thanks willdot! In the past 4-5 years I've seen more and more ppl in our community talk about fixing and breaking cycles. This doesn't help at all! It's just showing others that we (as a community) are still in this 90s super Predator mindstate, and that not the case for most of us. Loved the comment ❣️
@@screenzenreviews Tru Tru. I made it out the hood with a different mind set and just hope my family and friends get the hood mentality out of their system and join me. Impressing each other with drip and garbage music but don't put money in savings to have a better future makes ZERO sense to me and all it took was for me to have a daughter and want her to have a better life and understanding than me. They making a mockery of black people, I have served in the Army and went to combat with good black people and even my career now, every black person there is top notch professional. The hood has no color. A white woman's food stamps don't carry more weight than a black woman's food stamps, and where I am from the projects and trailer parks are on every block in most neighborhoods. I am mixed so my opinion prolly don't matter.
The difference between The PJs and Good Times is The PJs poked harmless fun at the cultural aspects of the black community living in the projects, And this cartoon exploits it in the worst way.
I don’t think he was an active participant, since Good Times was his creation they have to acknowledge him ,just like anything that has the title Star Trek has to acknowledge Gene Roddenberry as the creator of the original
I literally don’t know what to say about whatever this is. Good times was good and moral, taught people to be good even through the struggle. This is pathetic.
At the time the original Good Times series was made it was made at least in part to make Society aware of prominent social issues that were prevalent in the Inner City Community, a black folks. This cartoonish show, to me, is more like Minstrelsy and buffoonery! it is an insult to those audiences, who watched the original series up and the intentions of the original series, which was to invite people about what it meant to live in the Inner City.
I was reminded of the later Cosby show, showing successful black families. Good times was more inspirational. No mater what happened they had the family. 📺
Listen, even without the Good Times name associated with this, it is offensive. It is fracking minstrel... AND I am just shocked that there are ANY black people associated with it. I wanted to peak in at the first episode to see if it as bad as this trailer... because... damn. It feels like a show that so purpose was to put us back in our pre-civil rights places. It feels that the powers that be (aka white people) were flexing their abilities to do whatever they want and make black people do it to other black people (hence JB Smooth, Wanda Sykes participation). And I see them in a different light as if they were Stephen from Django. As if we are willing to sell our dignity for the right price. I guess I had a lot to say.. in the end, the creators can bite my root.
@cafesmitty I feel like it was a test 😂. "Can WE fall for anything still" this was a disgrace, notice Netflix aint saying nothing about it, letting it die slowly as they should. Thanks for your opinion and taking a look!
i watched half of the first episode that was about all i could take nothing like the original as someone who was very young and watching the original when it first aired this show here is complete GARBAGE!
This is beyond disrespectful and if Black people made this it's even more shameful. In no way is this anything related to the original Good Times and I grew up watching the original broadcast with my family. This is just another put down of Black people. SMH 😳😦☹️🙁😠😡🤬
I have seen the trailer a couple of times and this is a complete NO WATCH for me. When they went to “drug dealing baby” that sent me out. It’s filed with more stereotypes than the TV show it’s supposed to be kind of based on. Shame on the Black performers who signed on for this. 🙄😡
This show is not fine , after decades we still can’t have shows depicting all blacks live in a poor area and act like this , this thought that all blacks walk around saying “N” this or that is false but the world see this as us and they some how got black writers to do this !,! There is no hope
This is an insult to the original and imo shouldn't exist in any form. The original was about a poor but proud black family who pushed through whatever 1970s life threw at them. They where charismatic, funny and relatable. It was an honest look at many issues they faced sadly due to them being black and often how much easier it was for those with money. I loved their show each week, they made me laugh so hard. But it was a product of it's time. If they where to redo it now, even with every original cast member as a real sitcom it wouldn't work. It wouldn't have worked in the 1980s or 90s either. Because it was a look at issues of the 1970s and Jay Jays "dynamite!" Was feeling faded by the end of the decade. It's a lot like trying to do "all in the family" today. It's a classic but that show was geared to the 70s like this one.
Absolutely! Yes its a product of its time, But what if they updated the characters to today's "standard" . Michael:BLM/ Politics. JJ:Artist/Hipster? etc..It can still be positive. I'm just glad not alot of ppl fell for this okey doke.
@@screenzenreviews personally I'd love to see a "facts of life" reboot but in today's world with all new characters. You can have a BLM girl, a bi sexual one, a RUclipsr girl and one who always protests when womens rights are ignored. There is definitely a place as that older show is still very relevant to teens today. The new Micheal of today would definitely be at that protests. I have no doubt he would get things done as well. He would be a great judge.
I didn’t know about this but I don’t like it all! I saw good times when it originally aired in the 70s. It was nothing like this. Will not watch it. I’m disappointed that it includes so many prominent black artists who signed onto this.
I wonder if they knew how bad it would be before signing on. I would imagine Good Times would be an ok bet in their eyes. Im happy to see the pushback, i'm going to pretend it doesn't exist 😀
Esther Rolle! A classic TV Mother! They took Michael out completely, made the Daughter Two rolls, Woman/Pro Black. This deserves everything its getting.
Bruh! The way you just started looking at the camera in disgust and disbelief is exactly how I felt watching this trailer. I can tell you one show I won’t be watching at all… this one
It's the audacity for me 😂
THANK YOU PjS AND BOONDOCKS, GOOD TIMES IS A CLASSIC. WHAT THE HELL THEY DONE WITH IT?
This is a head scratcher. An update to GT would have been great!
*It's a "NO!" for me on this assault on Black people.*
Cointelpro if you ask me! I'm not going to put this show in my mental space! Appreciate the comment!
An assault and a insult!

MLK didnt die for this 😂
Big facts! 😂
Thank you!!
This reminds me of the new Velma. Taking an old IP that holds a lot of nostalgia value and trying to make it edgy.
it's not even making it edgy. it's making it theirs and only theirs. I mean the new creators.
I grew up watching the original, and THIS IS THE REBOOT? NAAAAAAHHHH! No thanks, I'm good...
I don't EVER want to hear political complaints from the black actors who took this job!
i grew up watching the original and this trailer makes me equal parts sad and angry. John Amos was an amazing man and this show has no right being tied to his work in any way
A baby selling drugs??? Wtf!
It's like they took every chappelle skit and crammed it into this! Only way more disrespectful 😥

This hurts everyone involved 😭. The target audience is black ppl, and they really missed their mark.
Who is the targeted audience?
I'm old enough to know/have watched the original and this is a sad remake... It might be funny but it's also a slap in the face..
That's the truth!
It’s not funny, it’s a disgusting
I'm going to love this!!!😅

The fact she blocked you, means that YOU are right and she cannot say the opposite.
👍Thumbs up for you👍
Remind me again why we had a 3-month Writer's Strike.
Someone needs to get fired for this 😂
@@screenzenreviews What baffles me is how Norman Lear (developer of the original series) got involved to produce... whatever this is.

this is like PJs and Boondocks if they fuckin sucked
That's a more accurate statement! And I agree 😳
@@screenzenreviews wish I could hit like 20 more times
wow i just know Fredrick Douglas is so proud of this lol just wow
😂😂😂. He turning in his grave as we speak!
@@screenzenreviews lol you got that right lol
Did they get that baby from the Dave Chapelle stand up
Thats Exactly what i said! It sounds ripped right from his mouth, like he was in the writers room! 😂
I agree with you i want to protest
Norman Lear is involved with this?! They either put a gun to his head or gave him a bunch of money. I’m guessing the latter.
Money Talks! 😂
I don’t think he was an active participant, since Good Times was his creation they have to acknowledge him ,just like anything that has the title Star Trek has to acknowledge Gene Roddenberry as the creator of the original
That man is 100 years old....I doubt he knew or know what is going on
looks interesting, havnt heard about this one before
I have a sense of humor… I will be watching it… Life is too short to be woke about the little stuff
In some way i agree, life is too short to be bothered. But when they put a Minstrel show on my screen...I Gotta say Something! lol
😮 They dragged Wanda Sykes into this didn’t they
they sure did! I feel bad for all the actors, this will be a stain on their resume.
Trash
Nothing like Good Times. They really didn't even need to change much except a little updating
I’m going to give it a chance. It looks hilarious 😂😂😂
Did you grow up watching Good Times? It's hilarious if you're an idiot I guess.
OMG 😳
This show is just beyond "offensive", in fact I don't know if there's a word rude and ugly enough to describe it.
That is all
My sentiments exactly 😳😪
It's a modern day minstrel show
That's all this is, and very obvious. Can't belive they green lit this
Disrespectful.
It's so blatant, feels like it was done on purpose!
I only made it to watch the trailer after that I decided it was a NO for me
The trailer was so hard to watch, reminded me of a Minstrel show. Why in 2024 are they still "Giving" content like this!?
I literally don’t know what to say about whatever this is. Good times was good and moral, taught people to be good even through the struggle. This is pathetic.
It reminds me of bebe's kids
Yes very similar! Bebe's kids at least had a good ending. This seems to cram a little 'stereotype' from each popular black toon.
This is not good Times .
No. DOA.
They messed up out the gate!
This is so sad that they would put trash like this out. WOW just WOW

Cancel this sh before it comes out please!!
