‘Good Times’ is a disaster
Good Times cartoon wicked.

HOLLYWOOD — Not even Black Jesus can save this. Seth MacFarlane’s “Good Times: Black Again” cartoon is out on Netflix and to call it defamation of black culture would be a vast understatement. It’s so impertinent, the producers deserve jail time. For starters, there’s no James Evans. No Florida Evans. No J.J. Evans. No Thelma Evans. And, no Michael Evans. Like the ’70s sitcom, the animated series takes place in a Chicago housing project. But it’s anchored by a whole new cast two generations later. Now we have Reggie Evans (a corpulent cab driver with high blood pressure), Beverly Evans (a Peggy Bundy wannabe), Reggie Evans Jr. (an illiterate artist), Grey Evans (a feminist) and Dalvin Evans (a drug dealing neonate). Jimmie Walker contacted Norman Lear’s office four years ago to pitch the cartoon. And it was supposed to be a progressive conception that featured all the original cast members sans Esther Rolle. That’s obviously not the case. The reboot is a minstrel show.
You’ll see cockroaches everywhere. You’ll hear ample profanity. You’ll descry scantily clad black vixens with hair weave, fake eyelashes and voluptuous derrières twerking at a strip club. You’ll see suburban white folks driving to the hood to purchase narcotics from Dalvin. You’ll see gangbanging. You’ll see Pookie & Ray Ray shooting’ craps on street corners. You’ll see a slothful Black Jesus ignoring prayers. You’ll see Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates plotting to conduct genetic experiments on blacks.
And you’ll see a Caucasian woman named “All White Men” who takes credit for systematic destruction of the black community.
The entire installment is a hot ghetto mess.
Hell, you could make a strong argument Satan is the director.
Bern Nadette Stanis, who played Thelma in the live-action version, lambasted the producers during a chinwag with TMZ.
“When you see something that actually is not progressive… it kind of brings you back into the projects two generations later,” she said.
“So Thelma had a baby. What happened to that baby? Um, I wanted to be a surgeon. I guess I was. Uh, J.J. was a famous artist. So you have positive images generations before that and then all of a sudden you see this?”
Social media reaction was vicious.
One commenter wrote, “I lasted 5 minutes.”
Another chimed in with, “They got the baby selling drugs…wtf?”
A third viewer added, “The moment they said Seth MacFarlane was part of this, I knew where the show was headed.”
John Amos, who played James, recently revealed he was fired in 1976 after threatening physical violence against the show’s white producers for disseminating negative stereotypes of black people.
Nearly 50 years later, nothing has changed.
Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry is listed as one of the producers.
But it’s window dressing.
Steph is a token for damage control.
“Good Times: Black Again” is definitely MacFarlane’s work.
Steph is on record saying he won’t let his kids watch the show.
Ain’t that a bitch?
Do you hate the reboot?
Are you sick and tired of white producers controlling black content?
Watch Bern Nadette give her two cents.

Take that cartoon down ️
This is why not everything needs a reboot, revamped, or remake. Just leave well enough alone. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Boycott this mess. get it canceled.
A baby drug dealer is a hard no for me! You can’t come back from that.
So basically, they stole Jimmy Walker’s idea for an animated version of the show. Then, they decided to leave him and the rest of the original cast out of the creative process so that they could do whatever they wanted to do with it. Diabolical.
This show is like a slap in the face to any black person who has ever lived……It’s like a production company looked at all possible black stereotypes & said lets use them all.
They rebooted “Bebe’s Kids,” bruh
They WANTED to be OFFENSIVE to BLK PPL
I’m not even black and it bothered/annoyed me….
Good Times Without The Original Recipe. Boo I Ain’t Wasting My Time.
Salute to Bernadette for speaking out about the bafoonery that they’re doing to this Iconic sitcom.
To all you fools who kept saying, “We need a Good Times reboot,” THIS MESS is why there was pushback.
Leave the classics alone!
When we leave it up to THOSE folks, they will screw it up every time. No surprises here!
Looks like they got what they wanted 50 years later!
They wanted a clown black family 50 years ago! Esther Rolle and John Amos fought very hard to portray a whole, positive and dignified black family growing up in Chicago projects of the 1970s. And 50 years later, these bastards got their wish!
They can’t help but portray us in a negative light, so the rest of world and next generation will believe that’s all we can be. It is a insult and travesty to all the actors that have worked on the original show!
This is about the most ignorant BS…..️
Stephen A. Curry, now an executive producer? Does he even have executive producing experience? I think it was just another paycheck for him and he was not truly involved in developing any episode ideas. I think he attended the producer meetings and just sat in the room and said NOTHING to the contrary (laughed along with the rest) due to intimidation, lack of experience or something! He was not in the writer room, but he definitely received the storyline and the script and therefore read the dialogue. He should have never attached his name to this project (nor should anyone else have done so). Shame on Hollywood for creating this animated buffoonery project.
That cartoon is literally a minstrel show. I’m ashamed that my skin color is associated with that trash in real life.
@Santana Braxton: I find it hard to believe Curry had any input in this, he probably was just used to fund this. Blame whoever wrote the script/ story concept, not Curry
The nerve to call it Good Times “ Black Again” they let Seth McFarland of all people touch it
I’m white and was raised up on , The Jeffersons , All in the Family , Good Times , Sanford and Son and all Norman Lear sitcoms but this is just millennial bullshit , there’s no values here just stupid shit .
Apparently JIMMIE WALKER signed off on it
Seth McFarlane needs therapy and to be STOPPED
It’s even more offensive that Steph Curry won’t even allow his kids to watch this trash that he produced! The people that are involved in this show, especially the black actors and actresses should be ashamed of themselves for being involved in this pathetic, foolish, buffoonish, idiotic, stereotypical horrible trash.
Should’ve never of called it Good Times. This has nothing to do with the original IMHO. How many black people were in the room because someone should’ve spoke up about it not being a good idea.
Velma: im the worst modern animated show
Good Times reboot: hold ma minstrel
This show is the kind of shit the Boondocks would make fun of…
People losing their ish over the reboot for the wrong reasons. Just say the show is trash, but playing the race card is rubbish. People upset over a drug dealing baby, yet Stewie was homicidal baby hell bent on world domination while trying to off his own mother.
? Who else was on Bernadette’s side when she was addressing the issues of the show but then started scratching your head when you saw her name pop up in the credits???️ Lol .. She done collected that check now all of ah sudden she’s acting shocked, like she didn’t know the show was gonna make a mockery of the original️ …
Seth ain’t beating the racism allegations bro
They would never do this to any other race.
Thelma still look good
LETS BE REAL IF YOU WANNA CANCEL THIS TV SHOW… LETS CANCEL ALL BLACK BEHAVIOR LIKE THIS THATS WORSHIPPED & PRAISED
CANCEL Every black actor/actress and Steph Curry for this shit. They clearly don’t care about us or our children. This show is Despicable!!
How else can one express the plight of black people other than making them cartoonish stereotypes. Might as well just remake Amos and Andy.
First Color Purple now Good Times. It’s clear the objective.
I love the good times cartoon it’s funny
I used to watch that show, with What’s Happeneing, The Jeffersons, etc…..THE ABSOLUTE NERVE OF THESE WOKESTERS TO TOUCH THIS
The problem with a white man voicing a black man is that it has the potential to become sterotypical. The reason the original Good Times was wholesome is because the black actors continuously fought back against Norman Lear wanting to push stereotypical portrayals.
Lost me at the drug dealing baby. Let my Netflix go because of this.
Nobody is more racist than radical lefties
Seth macfarlane made a cartoon that’s spiteful and ugly? Nooooooo i’m shocked
Ain’t no way good times turned into a drug dealing baby and bunch a whole other shit we don’t want
How did they end up back in the projects? Didn’t they all move into a luxury apartment at the series finale??
This is the most disturbing thing I’ve ever seen. Absolutely horrendous
Initially I gave YNB, Wanda Sykes, Cree Summer, J SMoove a pass, but really, even as veteran actors, how can they defend this?
Episode 3 hate is real
Theres literally people out here defending this show and comparing it too the boondocks. Ive came too the conclusion that most people ignored social commentary the boondocks had and focused on the sterotypes. Cause this show is what you would get if you ignored all the social commentary of the boondocks and combined with early south park animation
Netflix, remove this shit 💩
Here’s the thing, I’m glad they made this. Let the black community see what they think of them. For all the fools that just laugh and love it, there will be some that look at this and start seeing the matrix
Good Times reboot funded by BET (Black Evil Television)
