The trailer for the Netflix series “Good Times,” an animated revival of the 1970s sitcom, is out:
@Phil_Lewis_ Hard pass. The essence of Good Times was a solid family working hard to make their lives better in the system of inequality. Nobody needs Bebe’s kids mixed in with a hood rat mom, bad ass kids, and a fat sloppy dad.
@HenriettaSnacks @Phil_Lewis_ it's been modernized to be more relatable to the vast majority of black americans.
@HenriettaSnacks @Phil_Lewis_ Whew! They threw in every stereotype they could. Meanwhile the original was just a regular family at that time.
@HenriettaSnacks @Phil_Lewis_ It feels like a key and Peele sketch or something. "What IF they remade Good Times but..."
@HenriettaSnacks @Phil_Lewis_ LITERALLY thought of Bebe's Kids watching parts of this
@HenriettaSnacks @Phil_Lewis_ why did everyone involved feel like THIS was the right vibe
@HenriettaSnacks @Phil_Lewis_ To be honest, I don't care to watch the reruns of the original. It is nothing nostalgic about watching a comedy show on our struggle to survive in America. It holds no value for me. The same with gangsta rap. It never spoke for me and never will.
