Exactly! The 'Good Times' title is a decoy and/or a marketing tactic. So glad it's backfiring! Unanimously, people are over this debacle of an animated series. Thank you Miss Stanis for your straightforward and sincere honesty! ❤
It's not all of Seth McFarland fault. Stephen Curry is the 1st executive producer named. Mr. 3 points need to be held accountable for his actions also. If we're going to point fingers Stephen Curry needs to be pointed at TOO !
She right..the first scene in the TV Show is the daddy in the shower singing the theme song with a cockroach 🤦 and that's the first 4 minutes.. ay this shit soul plane, leprechaun in the hood level..and I hate how they throw Carl Jones name in the beginning credits of the show when he disassociated hisself with the show waaayyyy before it even came out!
@kidd66, Ms. BernNadette Stanis has always had a sweet demeanor about her that pretty much wasn't much a stretch to playing her character on the sitcom back in the 1970's.
@samiam6065, I have always been taught beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It's when one spends a significant amount of time with another is when one finds about the other along the way.
She probably signed a nondisclosure agreement with the production company, so if so, she is bound to that. This is the most publicity she has had in a long time, ironically.
She's right, there's a HUGE disconnect. This reboot exudes being black and poor is funny and comical. That insulting! The orinigsl Good Times was about pushing through and finding the humor in being black and poor in America. Major distinction between what 'funny' between the two.....
Steph Curry is attached to the show as well- executive producer. Some more names attached to the show: Seth MacFarlane, Ranada Shepard, Carl Jones, Jay Pharoah, Marsai Martin, Gerald 'Slink' Johnson, Yvette Nicole Brown, JB Smoove, Cree Summer, Rashida Olayiwola, Godfrey, Ego Nwodim, Lil Rel Howery, Heidi Gardner, Salli Saffioti, Affion Crockett, Tisha Campbell, Demetrius 'Lil Meech' Flenory, Wanda Sykes, Da Brat...
Sony owns the rights. Sony is Japanese. Japan barely has any black people in it. They had nothing to do with making the OG because it was long since off the air when Lear sold his studio to Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola was founded by an ex-Confederate soldier trying to wean himself off morphine.
When interviewed about this, he said he wouldn't let his kids watch it as it wasn't show for kids. Also said people should give it a chance. Sometimes, you just need to admit you made a mistake. Shame on him.
Well we know money talks cause all the ones who took a part n this disgraceful cartoon must have gotten paid cause it sure wasn't for the truth and what Good Times was about ..it's so disgraceful .shame on the writers n voice over people for this mess.
Man I watched all 10 episodes and that shit was ass🤷 it was a few cool lil funny moments..I ain't gone lie, but outta 10 episodes I will never get my time back..
Ms. BernNadette Stanis was being interviewed on the entertainment newsmagazine "TMZ" while trying to explain her involvement along with that of Mr. Jimmie Walker regarding the atrocious animated take on the old school television show from the 1970's. It was hard for her to find the right words to explain the intense ghetto take on the program. I'm sure the show creator the late Mr. Norman Lear & the show female lead the late Ms. Esther Rolle wouldn't approve of such a travesty for the purpose of continuing the legacy of the sitcom from the past. 📺
Norman Lear let them use his name on this. He is still screwing over Eric Monte from beyond the grave. The funniest thing about all these reboots of his shows is how the one time they actually tried to get original cast members back is the one show that left the biggest stain on Lear's entire legacy, such as it was to begin with: *wh's th bss.* The only actress on that show who was any good in anything else was Katherine Helmond, and she died to avoid having to relive eight years of embarrassment. That one show did more to harm race relations because it undermined everything the other shows tried to do to be part of the solution. They also ripped off Nell Carter's show, and what they didn't steal from her show, they stole from Ted Danson's.
The thing that got me was that after 40 years, they are still in the projects..... even though that's TRUE for lots of black folks that live in the projects and impoverished neighborhoods.. if we are so embarrassed, we have to do better as a collective to change the narrative.....😅😮😢
That explains the closing credits theme about "watching the asphalt grow, thinking how it all looks hand-me-down." Lyricists Alan and Marilyn Bergman grew up in Brooklyn during the depression, like my grandfather did. It's not like they had no idea what poverty looked like.
Just like How High 2..I wouldn't have been so critical on it had it not had that title. Name it part or a reboot and it will ALWAYS be compared to the original
Did they decide to go in the creative direction they went in before or after Norman Lear's death? How much more grave robbing of his legacy are we going to get? It takes months to finish an episode of an animated series, so it is likely that they might have still been throwing around a bunch of different ideas for how it was going to look before they decided on this when they were recording the voices. Between Norman Lear dying (face it: we all knew that day was going to come), and Carl Jones quitting and Seth MacFarlane getting virtually no scrutiny whatsoever over it to his face.
They should’ve LEFT “GOOD TIMES” ALONE! I watched the new animated series & it’s really AWFUL! The creators, producers, all the actors & actresses that voiced those characters, only did it for THE MONEY! They just need to be honest and say “LOOK, WE WAS BROKE & NEEDED THE MONEY” cause they all knew, we the fans “GOOD TIMES”, would NOT approved it! Honestly; I don’t think Norma Lear approved it either! The writers & creators should’ve at least gave the animated series a NEW NAME! The ONLY episode I really liked was the PERIOD episode, when Grace got her period and even with THAT EPISODE, IT COULD’VE BEEN WRITTEN IN A MORE BETTER WAY & THEY COULD’VE WENT MORE IN DEPTH WITH THAT EPISODE! But overall, the ANIMATED “Good Times” is AWFUL & HORRIBLE!
When you demand, be specific. This is the visibility people demanded 🤷🏽♀️…the behavior came from somewhere right? We’ve all seen it. It’s embarrassing!
Jimmie Walker was correct in saying that it would be hard to have a sitcom showing black people living in poverty. Animation was the only way you could get around it.
This animation depicts the struggle of black people as a joke... slapped with the title "Good Times". It makes you wonder, Good Times for who? The original series offered inspiration to keep pressing forward in the midst of struggle accompanied with a side of humor. What's most noticeably missing is the progression of doing better. Some things are best when left completely alone.
Wow I didn't know her real name was Ms. BernNadette, I am so used to calling her the woman who played Thelma from the Good Times show! She still looks beautiful. I hate to say this, but the Good Times animation looks horrible, but I still love the original Good Times show.
This makes me think about All in The Family. The absurd attitudes and ideas that Archie and his friends portrayed were hysterically wrong and absurd. Now, most of those are part of "this world's" acceptable, normal, fully-practiced, everyday life. Completely regressive and very sad.
This is embarrassing. It should’ve never been named good times. It sounds like buyers remorse after she was offered a part. The answer should’ve been NO and protested from the beginning and she could’ve tried to get a reunion special with the surviving cars members. Just my thoughts.
And the thing is this minstrel show isnt even the only problem with Black entertainment today. Most shows featuring Black casts are either crime shows, Tyler Perry shows or just unfunny laugh track blasting shitcoms. We have nothing on par with classics like Good Times, Sanford and Son, The Jeffersons, The Cosby Show, Martin, Fresh Prince, The Steve Harvey Show, Living Single etc.
I got lost. Sometimes I understand how a novice may not understand. She and Jimmy been in the business for decades. So now you can’t take the check. Than say?” Oh….that was That how it was supposed to be, hahaha. The why didn’t you get a lawyer and demand a cease no desist. Ester Rolles and if JohnnAmos was well would have never let this travesty hit the screen
*Velma* was better. At least that took a show that represented everything wrong with western animation over the last five decades and made it funny. If anything, it's more successful as a faux-Norman Lear-type show than this authorized reboot of the real deal.
This can't hold a candle to the classic Disney and Warner Bros. cartoons or the early years of *The Simpsons* and *Family Guy.* Even pre-1970s Hanna-Barbera was better than this!
We watched about 30 seconds of this show!! EFFFFFFINNNN TERRRIBLE!!!! WHo in the world thought this was gonna be funny or even watchable!? Since when do babies sell drugs..?! SMH

Carl Jones is good dude...Glad he left that "project"
And steph Curry picked it right up
This cartoon has made Good Times, Hood Times. Failed Miserably!!!
I watched one episode that was more than enough
I like the song in the intro tho 😶
Carl Jones didn't do his research as the Evans left the projects in the very last episode of the series
AS FAR AS THE ROACHES GO:
J.J. DID SAY THAT TIME, IF PENNY ATE THELMA'S PIECE OF CAKE, HE WAS LOOKING FOR DEAD ROACHES!!!...LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Not wasting time viewing it another way to dumb everyone down again
It appears to me some one wants to replace the phenomical legacy of the original show. Why give the animation the same name if its not the same show.
Uhhhh yeeeauh! That's the whole point. Our people need to open our eyes.
It's a travesty and it's OBVIOUS without even looking at the cartoon. The trailer reflected EVERYTHING. ..nuff said.
1.) shouldn’t have been called good times
2.) it was the minstrel show
3.) they should have made it totally based off the original story instead.
That sucker Steph Curry cosigned for this shhhh lets put him on blast. He grew up living well with plenty of money and food and resources 👀
