Good Times Still




Dynomite!


Netflix has unspooled the trailer for its upcoming animated reboot of Norman Lear’s beloved sitcom Good Times.


The raunchy R-rated trailer reveals a new look at the Evans family through the eyes of exec producer Seth MacFarlane and showrunner Ranada Shepard.


The series features a voice cast that includes J.B. Smoove (Reggie), Yvette Nicole Brown (Beverly), Jay Pharoah (Junior), Marsai Martin (Grey), Gerald “Slink” Johnson (Dalvin) and Rashida “Sheedz” Olayiwola (Lashes by Lisa).

Here’s the official logline, per Netflix: “An animated reboot of the Norman Lear series finds the latest generation of the Evans family, cab driver Reggie and his wife, the ever-aspirational Beverly, scratching and surviving in one of the last remaining housing projects in Chicago along with their teenage artist son, Junior, activist daughter Grey, and drug dealing infant son, Dalvin. It turns out the more things change the more they stay the same and keeping your head above water in a system with its knee on your neck is as challenging as ever. The only thing tougher than life is love, but in this family, there’s more than enough to go around.”


The late and great Lear blessed the series and remains credited as an exec producer on the animated take through his Act III Productions banner, which remains based at Sony Pictures Television. Exec producers also include Brent Miller (Act III Productions), Steph Curry, Erick Peyton and Jeron Smith (Unanimous Media) and MacFarlane and Erica Huggins (Fuzzy Door).


The 10-episode first season will debut April 12 on Netflix.

The trailer in question, 2:42. All sorts of content warnings for those easily offended.

Huh, wonder what that's a reference to.

You know, I was wondering the same thing when I sort-of watched the new Equilizer with Queen Latifa and it eended up with her in-show daughter singing with a choir at the Natl Mall or somewhere singing 'Hands up Don't Shoot!".
Guess it's sort of like that show ways back when about a Billionairre black guy adopting two white orphans...it was called 'Unlikely Strokes' cause it never happened.

Can't stand Seth MacFarland or Family Guy either. This does not surprise me coming from him. Its appallingly vile.

Seth obviously does not remember that they had a working father, an intact household though poor and a strong religious ethic trying to raise teens in the Chicago projects.

And that is ashamed, because the original 70s sitcom was good TV.

Reruns of "All in the Family" are on Youtube...

So are "Waltons."

I suspect it was "hit or miss" - much like today except today the hits seem confined to a certain source likewise the "miss."

Didn't watch the trailer, but I can tell from just the OP that the so-called reboot doesn't bear any resemblance to the original. Isn't that a requirement for a good reboot?

They're rebooting everything these days, and I don't think any of them have been able to approach the greatness of the originals.

Seth is a degenerate jew.
Not hating just stating.
He is proud of his degeneracy.
Others pay him to continue.

Edit...I mistakenly thought this was seth rogan....apologies.

The original Good Times as a good program. Wholesome lessons in every one. The differences in the poor/black community today from then show the extreme negative impact the war on poverty has had on the poor.

Exactly it was one of the few positive married black couples on tv then. He was gainfully employed.

What Seth has done to the memory of this show is inexcusable. If you want to trash modern black life, then create NEW characters. This was established canon they were originally the housekeeper and handyman on Maude, both shows spinoffs from All in the Family. Committed married couple, both employed. That they got bamboozled like so many others into public housing was easy to fall for in 1973.

Adding: if you were Maude's live in housekeeper in Tuckahoe NY you would probably have leapt at the chance to move to a brand new apt in Chicago just to escape from her strident, unhappy ass.

They were brand new construction, clean and functional, affordable housing so it was very tempting. And mostly became living hellholes by 1979. Cabrini was notable for the number of apt windows always boarded up with scorched smoke round the outside. Suggesting frequent kitchen fires/faulty wiring. Or gangs firebombing neighbors.

The show was trying desperately to be role models for turning lives around but the reality was a total disaster for the country. I don't fault the actors of the show, they had great chemistry as a couple and probably were the last vestiges of normalcy that Black America had. They were at least trying to uplift.

I get what Seth is doing, by showing the inevitable result of 5 decades of welfare but he should have created all new characters like Boondocks. The depictions in his cartoon are really outrageous. Esp the father as a 350 lb man. James was a fit healthy dad not obese at all. And agree it will crash & burn as you can't rewrite the past just as you can't turn Velma into a black lesbian on Scoobie Do. Its Idiocy.

Yeah, you should stop blaming Seth. He's just putting up some of the cash on this. Blame the "showrunner" instead; Seth's not doing any writing or direction on this one, last I heard.

The original Good Times was a show that grated on my nerves. At 9-10 years old I remember it was so cheesy it was pathetic.

This new Good Times looks like they're trying to hit every single dindu nuffin stereotype out there. They're nauseating in everyday life; being caricatured in a cartoon is insanity on top of insanity.

And with one particular demographic it's going to be a runaway hit.

The term for that is “producer.”

Actually, no.

From the CeltX blog:

What is the difference between a showrunner and producer?​

Showrunners have more overall creative control than producers; they are responsible for the general direction of the series in all aspects, while producers focus on the production side of things.

And then there's this. From the trailer:

That's where your blame should go. Not Seth MacFarlane, so much.
