Black people aren't interesting.
Schlomo would like a word with you
You know what? I actually like this.
I was gonna say, I genuinely laughed at the first interaction. Seems like a fun stupid family.
The high rise projects Good Times took place in got knocked down and turned into townhouses and condos. Show looks pretty terrible but I can already tell the dad will be the funniest one and the baby is going to run out anything resembling funny jokes the fastest.
Speak for yourself, I found all the baby jokes funny in the trailer. Rallo's been discontinued so this makes up for it I guess
I just realize FG has three talking baby characters
Three?
Joe and Bonnie’s daughter has an inner monologue voiced by Patrick Stewart
Stewie has a frienemy now who is voiced by Chris Parnell
There was Bertram too I guess but he’s been dead for years at this point
>Stewie has a frienemy now who is voiced by Chris Parnell
Had*
he's dead now
rallo isn't even supposed to be a baby, he's 5 years old
Family Guy cannot draw characters to scale
Is this made or has any input from the Lascars crew? The designs and some of the animation is very similar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tMkAnHYsZA&ab_channel=Lascars
Probably not, but it does seem like they took inspiration from it. I think the show looks fun, I just hate that it's tied to The Good Times Brand™ when it very easily could've been its own thing. Why can't we ever get original projects that are visually interesting?
>Why can't we ever get original projects that are visually interesting?
There was Inside Job, but we all saw what happened to THAT show
>Inside Job
>Visually Interesting
Pull the other one mate. It looked like every other bento box production.
Hmm, the ending of good times was that they had a windfall that resulted in them being able to move out of the ghetto and the show itself was the story of the childhood of one of the creators. He was literally Michael Evans, the actor that played Lionel in The Jefferson’s and by which Mike Evans in good times was loosely based upon.
My issue is that good times ended with the Evans family getting a big break but this looks like they didn’t and still live in a. Similar high rise. That’s kinda fricked up since it has been literally decades and they don’t seem to have made any progress. It would have been better to just do a reboot but then you couldn’t have the father being a cursing buffoon.
It does seem to have that Lascars energy at least. It looks like it might be ok. I just wish that it wasn’t specifically the current generation of the Evans family. Just make it about another family that’s trying to get out of the ghetto.
This is absolutely nothing like the original Good Times series. Very weird use of an IP.
It's a total opposite tone. 70s Good Times was the family still trying to do the best they could and still getting along. This one is all about leaning into ghetto life and how shit everything is.
Why make this a good times reboot? It seems like it has enough style to be its own thing. Good times isn't really much of a nostalgia pull either.
Why does seth like talking babies so much?
Good Times is a huge nostalgia pull, just not for you. It was the first sitcom to star a broke black family living in the projects that dealt with ghetto-ass issues like gang violence and drug peddlers. It wasn't rich black people in a deluxe apartment or suburban blacks in a nice two-decker home, it was still TV magic but closer to a mirror than other sitcoms for black folks.
For me and seemingly you, it's the black comedy featuring the dumb ugly guy that says DYN-O-MITE! For others, it was the first time they felt represented in pop culture.
You got any clips of the original show dealing with hood shit? Because everybody remembers it as being a whole family type of program.
These clips are taking a very strong stance against gang behavior. The reboot has the baby as a drug dealer. These are very different approaches to dealing with hood subject matter.
NTA, but one of the first episodes I think of when I think about the show is the one where Michael gets forced into a gang and Florida comes running out to the streetfight with a baseball bat, ready to beat the entire neighborhood to death.
There was an episode where J.J gets forced into a gang and gets shot. If that's not hood shit then I don't know what is
It wasn't embracing it though like this show is. It was saying ghetto shit is dangerous, do your best to stay away.
Yeah but it ran in the 70s. Its not like some millennial or zoomer is gonna be like "wow good times, that will really take be back."
That show got reran a lot throughout the 2000s
If you’re black and grew up with BET and TV Land you’ve seen this show a lot.
I still catch reruns of it on my local tv station that plays old sitcoms and I used to watch it alot as a kid. I'm 23.
Finally, they're letting them act like animals again.
This should not be called Good Times. It doesn't feel like Good Times. If they just changed Walker to Wilson and changed the show name, it would be able to stand on its own two feet. But now it will sink or swim based solely on how the audience feels about Good Times.
It has its own decent art style, I like it a lot
This reminds me a lot of MFKZ or Aachi & Ssipak for some reason
>Good Times if Family Guy
If I were black and liked Good Times I'd be actively pissed.
Black people don’t like good times. It’s actually a very bad show with bad morals
I’m sure it depends on which black person you ask. There are those who view commitment to this lifestyle to be degenerate and something successful people avoid, and there are those who say ‘frick it this is my life. I want someone to show it like it is’
Same thing with the Simpsons. Pleeeeenty of white people hated it for depicting and therefore encouraging, in their eyes, low class behavior
Simpsons was still made in an era when they just did not make shows about low class losers being low class losers. Simpsons and Married with Children were Fox being totally different from the other networks and grab attention for their new network. It shocked people since the alternatives at the time were Cosby Show, Growing Pains, and Family Ties, shows about perfect middle class families being perfect.
That’s true. Either way I still think there’s still a class divide on some of these things.
We had Cheers and that's about a bunch of drinks who spend every night in the same bar. But yeah, they weren't like the broke Bundys or the openly dysfunctional Simpsons. In fact, I'm really surprised there wasn't a wave of "offensive lower middle class idiots" after All In the Family was a hit and it took 20 years for the inspired shows to come out (including South Park and the Boondocks having their own answer to "How to get away with Archie Bunker today": one made him a child and the other made him black.)
It kind of seems like the 80s was more of a lash back against the more lewd shows of the 70s. Even Cheers was a 70s show that stuck around throughout the decade. Even then everyone in Cheers was not that bad of a person, they were kind of low class but not like the Bundys who were actually awful to each other and backstabbed each other regularly. Simpsons was like that at first too but then transformed into a more typical wacky comedy by the 4th or 5th season. The show stopped focusing on how much of a low class trashy group they were and jut leaned into weird situations.
But 80s sitcoms really were the blandest thing ever with the want to portray the perfect family being the perfect family. To the point they had to add gimmicks like Alf or Small Wonder.
>Simpsons and Married with Children were Fox being totally different from the other networks
Rosanne aired on a major network less than a month after the first episode of Married with Children and before the Simpsons became an actual series.
Roseanne Barr was the original casting for Peggy Bundy until ABC got wind of it and offered her her own show with a starring role more directly feeding off her standup routine at which point she quit
This is why The Conners in its last days teased putting Katey Sagal in guest appearances as if to say "anything Roseanne can do, Katey does better"
>This is why The Conners in its last days teased putting Katey Sagal in guest appearances as if to say "anything Roseanne can do, Katey does better"
Katey Segal is still in the currently running Conners. It's not in it's last days it's still going, season six just started. Six years without Roseanne and it's doing just fine.
Most of the people I see shitting on this show are black people.
Frick off.
Wtf were the bad morals in good times?
Geezeranon here who remembers the show's first run. Most of the complaints about morals centered around JJ's bad behavior. Dad is a sometimes gambler and pool hustler.
Positive portrayal of that pimp dude, Sweet Daddy.
I’m old too tho. JJ’s bad behavior usually got straightened out by his parents by the end of the episode with him saying “You’re right dad…Next time, I’ll say NO and GO”
James was a pool hustler and gambler but he only resorted to that when he had to in order to pay the bills and he knows he’ll win because he’s just that good. That’s just being real. Parents sone times have to do things that they aren’t proud of to make a way for their family and their options are pretty set by their condition in society. What’s bad morally about that? What’s morally wrong about doing something that’s not really harming anyone to keep your family from being evicted? It’s not like he resorted to robbing gas stations or selling drugs
Bootstrapperism is the belief that every accomplishment you have is through your own hard work. Christianity and a belief that an almighty god determines your success is the opposite if thst. Tho the show does show that praying over things doesn’t work, like when the father had to hit up the pool hall to pay the rent while his wife tried praying over the problem. He came back and pretended to have gotten the money through luck by the grace of god rather than his skills playing pool to not shake her faith.
My statement was just refering to what people complained about. And while you're correct in that JJ was constanly being corrected, he ALSO was seen as the coolest dude that some people thought it was a good idea to model after.
You ever been around someone like that? It's like being around a modern Johnny Somali fan.
Bootstrapperism via christianity
could they not afford more than 2 frames?
>Seth MacFarlane
I was expecting something like this:
Seems great, reminds me of Lascars
Black Family Guy again?
Who gives a shit
Hey, at least there's more cartoons aimed at adults.
Same sitcom slop just with the Good Times label like if it even means anything.
This has absolutely nothing to do with the 1970 show. Garbage
Not the worst shit I've ever seen, but who the hell chose to make the animation this fricking choppy
>cartoon centered around black people
>hiring Seth Macfarlane as an executive producer
Didn't they learn anything from the Cleaveland Show?
i'm honestly surprised its an animated version of the Good Times show from the 70s and that Norman Lear produced this before he died, what the frick is this. i know he was old before he passed but what the frick, it doesn't feel like any of his shows.
It's highly unlikely that this is anything other than a credit because they're using the IP
He was producing shows even up to the end but his heart was still in live action sitcoms
But then why even use the IP?
Is Seth McFarlane able to come up with an original idea that isn't just references and homages to boomer television?
This show is actually made by Carl Jones, one of the writers of The Boondocks, and all-around hack. He's more than likely the reason the show went from nuanced social commentary to ooga-booga nig-surdist humor
It's more than likely Seth put his name on it to get it greenlit, which he is known to do.
>Norman Lear produced this before he died
Now this is interesting, is there any source for this?
>It's more than likely Seth put his name on it to get it greenlit, which he is known to do.
Adult animation has a huge problem with shitty producers just slapping their name on shit to get it greenlit. Dan Harmon and Lord/Miller have also gotten some pretty garbage shit on air just through their name power.
Honestly it looks pretty good in stills.
In MOTION though, it is choppy as hell. And yeah, it definitely seems really hit or miss comedically, that baby should be erased.
I don't know how true this is but I remember reading somewhere that Aaron and Carl Jones had a falling out and haven't been on speaking terms in like 10 years.
From what I remember, Aaron was mad Carl went to go make Black Dynamite instead of help work on Black Jesus
Well good on Carl then, Black Dynamite was the shit.
wellllll shit.
The cocreator of the original Good Times wound up homeless, guess he's not gearing any royalties from this.
knock down the sound quality and you got yourself an old Newgrounds cartoon.
It's sad how The Boondocks already predicted this 10 years ago
It took me half a second to get this and I'm ashamed it was that long
>boondocks lite
>jb smoove
Didn't hate it
Heh, Good Times? More like...
BAD TIMES!
More like Hood Crimes
I can't tell if this looks like a low-budget Boondocks, a high-budget Nutshack, or both.
I love how black people are tearing this to fricking shreds everywhere.
Drawn together did this better with 15 sec gag. Frick you Netflix!!!
Embarrassing POV of black culture. Narcissitically, aggrandizingly embracing being trashy and stupid.
Why is the family cast basically the same as Cleveland Brown? You got:
>Silly fat dad
>Big bottom mom
>Rebel teen daughter
>Dimwitted son
>Talking baby
I'm assuming the roaches or crickets whatever in the poster is going to be the talking animal of the show like the bear.
Because that’s just the family guy formula which was an evolution of The Simpsons formula which is an evolution of those old shitty domestic sitcoms. Actually it’s best that Seth is making this because he literally spent 90% of his career making edgy The Flintstones
Family Guy already had a decent parody on Good Times though.
This reeks of genxer/boomer studio executives who mostly work in live-action trying to foray into animation through cheapass (probably outsourced) shit.
Also lol at this shit probably being the last thing Norman Lear has his name attached to.
This has nothing to do with Good Times, what the frick? And why does the animation look like that fricking NFT monkey movie/ad?
Boondocks and South Park will always be the best comedic shows for this kind of direction they are trying to say with this.
>Seth MacFarlane
Oh hell nah it's hot ass confirmed. Modern Family Guy is trash.
>HBO Max made Velma
>Now Nexflix does this slop
What's next, Hulu revives another 1900s show belovedby all then ruins with a """revival""" like PJs? Martin? Or another cartoon like Johnny Quest?
Venture bros was a Johnny quest parody. I say fresh prince would probably be the next thing
Fresh Prince already got that weird drama reboot that's going for a third season.
The HELL is this? Why do they look Ai generated?
>The HELL is this?
It was based on a fan trailer someone made and Will Smith liked enough to push for a full series.
I saw the trailer and that was enough for me to know it was shit. The only other thing I looked for was the adaption of the scene with his dad and despite being a drama it does not hit the same at all.
Though the ego wanking of Will Smith the original had was still there, only now it’s ego wanking a Will Smith who is much older and the one pushing the show.
I can't believe the Nick show that was dumped on New Year's eve has better looking Black characters
What's with all the Black girl cartoons these days?
They ran out of Thai girls like Molly and Anne and hispanics like Luz and Luz Lane I mean Lois Lane, who was actually phillipino.
This is a rant only other homies would get, but I hate the Atlanta-fication of black culture in modern media. Chicago women do not dye their hair blonde and cut it skull short like that. Chicago men do not walk and talk like that either.
It's the same shit with Miles. If you're going to pander to us, at least be accurate to whatever bullshit ghetto you set your show in. Believe it or not, the culture changes based on state and county
Hollyweird never step foot in Detroit, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Mississippi. Why even trust media depicting race at this point when all their doing is for the money.
The white people version is that everyone uses SoCal slang no matter where the show is set. Highways have names in Chicago, there is no "The 94."
>Chicago women do not dye their hair blonde and cut it skull short like that. Chicago men do not walk and talk like that either.
What part of Chicago do you live in? I want to move there, because where I'm at I see 5 women with those ugly ass blonde pixie cuts just walking down the street.
Hi, worked in a studio before
I can guarantee 100% of the people writing and character designing this has never once hung out or ever had a black friend before. They only ever know of black people as someone who worked at a Starbucks they frequent and that's about it. And we can range this back to their whole lives. We are talking about 2nd or third generation Hollywood fricks that went to cushy private schools and then private art colleges. Which may have had a grand total of 3 black people in it the entire time. They don;t know shit and never will...
...but they are convinced they are ten times more worldly and know more than everyone else combined
Don't hold back Luke
Hi Luke
I’m getting creepy schizo vibes from the shitty ass art style, roaches on the floating soda cans and the floating fire extinguisher.
Too bad Filmation isn't around
They could pull off a faithful "Good Times"
Stupid Hanna bara ripoff art style on Bill rapist Cosby show Fat Albert has more soul than any Netflix animated show.
Bill did nothing wrong
Fight for the Cos.
Quāāludes were a party sex drug women requested, the problem being as a hypnotic it also tends to erase the memory of requesting it which was poorly understood at the time (if it hadn't been it would have been far more popular as an intentional date rape drug)
Bill did genuinely want to make something uplifting and inspiring, he fricking hated making ghetto culture stuff and anything that praised how cool ghetto shit is.
Everyone on twitter hates it.
Especially black people.
if this was done in Boondocks style and still played the same way, is it better? I can't get over how stiff and ugly the animation is style and the baby being a drugdealer is stupid but the "family trying to live in bad black neighborhood" part is interesting
The art style looks nice, glad they aren’t going to the generic R&M look, sorta reminds of Klasky Csupo a bit. But yeah no idea why they decided to tie it to good times when they have nothing in common but black people. I don’t think there is a single fan of the original who will check this out because they liked the original. Doesn’t really look that funny either. I hope Jimmie Walker gets a cameo, he looks like he needs the money after those weird shady commercials he did
I find it weird that so many of the comments are about how "Hollywood needs to stop with these negative stereotypes of black people!". It's a fricking comedy, of course it's going to use stereotypes. The issue is not caricaturized comedy, but lack of options. Something outrageous and racist should be allowed to exist alongside something modest and grounded. But because there aren't many shows now-a-days of the latter, people think that removing the former is the solution when all that means is you get neither.
I should have the option to watch My Name is Earl or Fuller House if I choose to and so should every group of people. The worst thing about OP's trailer is that it uses Good Times brand name for no reason. I'm starting to think these usage of brand names is less to attract the original audience and more because when people Google it, they'll accidentally stumble upon it in search of the original.
>It's a fricking comedy, of course it's going to use stereotypes. The issue is not caricaturized comedy, but lack of options.
No, the issues is that it's plain and simply not funny here. There was nothing high brow about this, it was just lazy to the point it sounded even preachy to me, especially the "white people are the reason drugs and guns are planted in black communities!". I'm not laughing, there's nothing here to make it entertaining like in other examples like in Boondocks or even South Park.
There's just no nuance to it. It just sounds like what a biased AI would think would be good writing, in fact I honestly think that's exactly what they did.
>There was nothing high brow about this
That's the point, why the frick does there need to be? Why do people compare this shit to The Boondocks as if it's even trying to be that? There's room for low-brow and high-brow shit, but it sucks that the high-brow shit gets canned or has their pitch bibles passed up in favor of ONLY cheap low-brow shit.
>The Boondocks as if it's even trying to be that?
Because it was funny. That's why. I genuinely have a cultural impact being "real" but being funny about it.
This is just being "real" to a degree it seems like it's saying message. Almost to a "woke"ish degree/
Not every show is going to have cultural impact. Some shows are just going to be trash that is another person's treasure. Saying it's trash because it's unfunny is one thing, but saying it's trash because Hollywood needs to "stop with these stereotypes" is weird virtue signaling that I don't agree with. You aren't doing that, but that's the general reception online outside of this thread.
It's trash because it's leeching off a legitimately good show while smearing it's name through the mud. If this was its own thing no one would care about this shit.
>Hollywood needs to stop with these negative stereotypes of black people!
>okay, lets see what they create when they have complete freedom
>literally the exact same shit
Any mention of Hollywood or the culture being co-opted are complete cope.
What was wrong with My Name is Earl? That show was great.
Nothing, it just has a bunch of white trash stereotypes. But stereotypes in comedy seem to not be okay for anyone else without it being some political stance.
you could actually see the change in that show too as it went on.Crabman was a low class wee d dealer that lived with his grandma in the first couple seasons then was retconned into some ultra smart super spy hiding out in season 3.
Do every adult show needs to be fricking ugly nowadays?
I'm going to give this a shot. It's at least different.
>It's at least different
Dude, this is LITERALLY every adult "animation" of the last 5 years.
The writing. High energy. Ghetto shit. Not quite boondocks, maybe more PJ's.
It's the exact same badly animated "whacky shit happens, sex, drugs, weed lmao" shit we've been seeing. It's Velma, The Freak Bros. and every other shitty adult cartoon with a ghetto coat of paint. Comparing this to the PJ's it an utter insult to that show.
If it's what you describe, I'll drop it of course. But I'm optimistic enough to give it a shot.
Hold up. I bet they dont' have COMPLETE freedom. You aren't going to see a NOI show for reasons that belong on pol.
shut the frick up
if you can't deal with blacks making fun of themselves equaling having a main role in a cartoon movie then just shut the frick up
It just gets tiring to have almost every new cartoon with an African cast be all about "The Struggle" or "LOOK AT HOW BLICKITY BLACK WE IZ." Not saying these types of depictions can't happen at all, but it does become a problem when the few African shows we do have still resort to covering gang violence or dangerous neighborhoods or what have you. Yet another reason why we should be investing in more Original ideas rather than trying to modernize a show from the '70s that should've stayed in the '70s. This cartoon being tied to 'Good Times' really limited what kinds of themes they could tackle.
It's kind of similar to how Primos fell under scrutiny because with so few cartoons centering on Mexican families, it was bound to be compared to Casagrandes or held to the impossible standard of "representing ALL Mexicans" rather than pulling from the creator's own lived experiences and particular style. Why can't a Mexican cartoon or an African cartoon just BE?
Because israelites don't believe in black people as rational actors; they think they're a race of savages to use as a wrecking ball or for stories of regular southern lower-middle class life suffering. And since israelites run the media, everything is all about slavery or discrimination and nothing else is allowed. It's why the most interesting black stuff over the past 30 years has come out of people who crossed over into a more general appeal instead of just being made for israelite producers and executives to jerk themselves raw over the black holocaust.
>It just gets tiring to have almost every new cartoon with an African cast be all about "The Struggle" or "LOOK AT HOW BLICKITY BLACK WE IZ.
>but it does become a problem when the few African shows we do have still resort to covering gang violence or dangerous neighborhoods or what have you
That's because non blacks (at least in america) like this portrayal of blacks
It's a weird growing trend where a black character can't be normal. or like everyone else
Like they unironically can't relate to a black person unless it's about "the struggle"
If a black person is portrayed as a normal person, they'll think they're bland and boring
If they're portrayed as something like a nerd, they'll go "ugh another black nerd trope"
Just cause you have shit taste isn't going to magically make this show good frickwit.
>if you can't deal with blacks making fun of themselves
Anon, it's a Seth Rogen production.
>obligatory Egyptian we wuz episode
Probably going to be the only episode worth watching that is funny beyond all the preachy bs
I LITERALLY just got done watching a documentary on Esther Rolle and how she railed against an inspirational show turning into a showcase of foolishness, how she wanted the show to be good role models and shit. God damn she must be Esther Rolling in her grave.
Not that shows should teach morals or be role models or anything, but when you have a bunch of people acting like absolute savages, they need training. And the last guy who tried to do that got thrown under the bus for drug sex parties he went to in the 70s, so...
Does it still have the obnoxious theme song?
I think I’m going to have a stroke. Where Micheal to whoop some ass.

God I miss old FG
How old is the father? If James is his grandfather then who is his parent from the Evans family? JJ? Can’t be Thelma because her last name was Anderson. Can’t be michael, can it?
The official youtube netflix upload of the trailer has 2K likes to 8k dislikes so we all know what everyone thinks of it.
Come to think of it, any more trailers on youtube that have far more dislikes than likes? Cinemaphile or otherwise?
Where THE FRICK are the inbetween frames?
There's a part around 0:30 seconds in
>cmon that's my boyfriend! Daddy let him go
And the girl like... faints or some shit? Not only does the voice acting not really match with what the character is doing but it just looks terrible. It looks like a comedic aside in an otherwise serious anime.
Man this is just racist. And I say that as a racist.
This skit stays in my head. Like the only people who made that little girl say
>WHITE PEOPLE ARE BETTER THAN BLAAACK PEOPLE
were the cartoon network execs. and then they realised how corny the commercial was and decided to have a
>hi. We had a lot of fun here today. but this is for realsies!
fricking ay man.
Seth can make a better Star Trek show than actual modern Trek showrunners, yet somehow he continues to make garbage like this.
Cute
Very cute
Gross, dude. Even by Jungle Fever standards that's just pitiful
Shit
Very shit.
Not even trying to be racist. She looks like little bill
Why the frick is seth McFarlane doing so many comedies. He's like the Hiro Mashima of animated generic shit.
I figured Cinemaphile would love this because they get to see blacks and virtue-signalers seethe over how racist the show may or may not be.
The absolute state of american 'entertainment'
It looks bad, but I really like the art direction.

I would buy a console if I wanted that kind of quality.
The aesthetics look interesting.
Why does Seth love animated babies that are actually adults so much?

Not exactly anon, the example you're referring to is the gentle giant moron, like Lenny from Mice and Men which is what most of those giant baby characters are based on.
The hate for this is going around

The kind of programming that only white racists and really, REALLY ignorant black people would enjoy.
Considering the popularity of BET, then I expect to see it do well?
ngl I kind of like it
Why?
The stewie effect. Others that fall in the category include boss baby. baby but acts like an eccentric 30+ year old.
I present the last and only time this kind of thing worked.
Hey. I get the joke. Okay? I've seen the old cartoons with Baby Huey. I've seen the one where a midget criminal pretends to be a real baby and Bugs Bunny fricks him up. Hell. I saw little man. But why in 2024 do we reject crossdressing jokes but gladly accept
>NORMAL WORDS BUT A BABY GUY
humor? OH THE STRUGGLE IS SO REAL So real that the baby is dealing crack!
I only saw the movie, so get off my back Anon, gosh!
You know, having this show MST3ked by Huey, Riley and Uncle Rukkus would probably improve it by 300 percent.
Weird thing is, this show is everything Aaron McGruder fricking hated and complained about in Boondocks. Just every fricking complaint he had about black media, Soul Plane, and BET.
It's basically PJs only animated worse.
The only black sitcom I can remember watching was 227 - and even then, only bits and pieces of it.
Was it any good?
The fact that black people are tearing this up a new one shows how much of a failure this is. Primos all over again.
Is this the black Velma? Are we supposed to hatewatch it?
Velma was Indian
I meant to say that it looks like Good Times is trying to be the black version of the Velma show.
Ignoring everything else, when the biggest names on a project are the executive producers, that is reason enough to be wary.
Moon Girl and Craig of the Creek depict one way of being black, this is a different take on it.
Lol what? In Moon Girl they're also a down on their luck black family.
Moon girl is down on their luck? I’ve only seen a couple episodes but they seem fine to me. They live in an apartment but living in an aI art ment isn’t really being down on your luck.
He literally just saw the first epi and checked out, that "plot point" was literally just bait to get Lunella to become a super hero to keep her community from getting their power drained by a electric themed villain and thus no customers to keep the roller derby from defuncting. They make enough income from it normal just fine, they were never suffering before that point.

Why?
What's next? Sanford and Son the animated series? What's Happening the animated series?
Well, Sanford and son is a ripoff of steptoe and son so if they want to do a cartoon then they can, imo. What’s happening is a tv take on Cooley high so they could do that as well.
Doesn't matter if it's a "ripoff', the thing is reviving something, especially something good for it's time just to bring it back to make a crude and tasteless animated series of it is just fricking stupid.
Did I just get sent back 15-20 years into the past? This shit reeks of 2000s animated black humor.
This isn't even in the same ballpark as shit like The PJ's.
That's because that show is almost 30 years old.

Jews must pay Kanye was right about them and Hollywood
>Cinemaphile is going to pretend to like this because it makes black people seethe
Calling it now
I want to watch it because of the art style. I feel like people would be overall ignoring it if it wasn't connected to Good Times, so it'll get by on name
I don't know much about Good Times, but this looks good for what they tend to do with 70s shows. If this is the closest we'll ever get to an animated All in the Family, I think that's fine. People respect the hell out of Lear, so I trust them to understand what makes his shows good especially now that he's passed.
Every episode I've seen of Good Times is basically a light comedy-drama with a veneer of a studio sitcom, it's like if every episode of Fresh Prince was the Dad episode.Though that might just be luck of the draw, I was also getting all the dark Jefferson episodes too, like....nobody told me about the episode where Florence was gonna kill herself and tries to give away her possessions......I came for Sherman Hemsley calling people Zebras and Honkeys.
So basically black lower-class Frasier plus the super hard hitting Canada-lite topics of Lear.
Why would it make black people seethe?
>Show revels in negative black stereotypes.
>Thicc ghetto b***hes with huge breasts.
>Twitter seething over it.
What gives Cinemaphile? I thought you'd love something like this.
How many times does "Cinemaphile is not a hivemind" need to be repeated before it sinks in?
Until it stops being true
homies saw this and thought 'we want our own version'
AYO' homieS
what is with that janky ass frame rate. could they only afford 3 frames a second? though I gotta say that it seems racist as hell, like hardcore southern racist view of blacks.
>the ominous N at the end
Perfect. That's the first letter of the first word that left my mouth after that final 15 seconds.
>it's racist to portray how black people act in the ghettos
>it's racist to not to show how black people act in the ghettos
I swear these black activists who claim to speak for blacks need to make up their damn mind
it's like the "natural hair" shit we had a few years ago
Anon, if you can't tell the difference between a creator writing about the ghetto from personal experience and some out of touch corporate goons writing a bastardized caricature to cash in on a nostalgic property, I don't know what to tell you.
There is no difference. Corporate or indie, black creators make the same media surrounding the same topics filled with coonery. It's selective outrage. Creators who make "muh personal experience" and "our stories" movies and shows are just as shit. This is what the culture loves and enjoys despite what twitter says.
>nonceflix
>Black folk
No thanks. Them airing Cuties turned me off from this shitty service forever.
I'm 32, and I grew up watching Good Times on a weekly basis on TV Land. I love the show, but every episode can be put into two buckets:
>Light Moral Debate, where the family discusses some sort of social topic
or
>Easy Come, Easy Go, where the family are given some opportunity for life to not be so terrible, and fate spits in their face near the end
The mother was very conservative, the youngest very liberal, and the rest ranged in-between, which led to great character moments, where they bounced off each other. Seeing this fricking slop absolutely pisses me off. There's not a single fricking thing that even links this to Good Times. The only thing close is the picture of Jesus broken in the promo art, as an episode revolves around the mother defending her White Jesus picture she hangs on the wall. There was an episode I watched recently where the father gives up a job that would pay him over a million dollars a year with a crooked mega-church, because it would make a bad example for his son. Now look at them. There's no fricking way the father here would deny the money. Shit feels like soulless The PJs, more than anything (which they hopefully leave dead.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRmFLxTxFNQ link and pic related is a moment from the show where the father is explaining to his son why his schooling is so important, as he doesn't want his hands to be as calloused and aching as his have become. Compare this clip to the fricking dogshit trailer for this slop-ass animated show. I'm sorry, man, but holy shit.
Wow.
This is like, confusingly bad. How is it possible that something this garbage could make it across the line?
Not in the usual bland "oh gee another bobs burgers/family guy ripoff" sort of way.
This is exceptionally terrible.
This feels like the creator wanted it to be Boondocks but without any of the nuance of boondocks
good fricking lord this is like the worst of PJs mixed with Cleveland show.
The PJs at least had the charm of being claymation.
>The PJs at least had the charm of being claymation.
yeah was going to mention that but decided not to give any praise since i was mentioning the bad parts
The PJs also felt more like King of the Hill, where it poked fun at a group, but did so with fondness toward the group, itself.
>This feels like the creator wanted it to be Boondocks but without any of the nuance of boondocks
About that…
fricking kek, yeah I bet.
This shit looks like it's going to be about glorifying it
