White kid here (at least, I was a kid when Good Times was on). I used to watch Good Times and want to be a member of the family so bad. Mom and Dad were caring and strong, kids were fun. Yeah, they were poor but so was I and everyone seemed cared for and, yes, despite it all times were good. Was such a good and positive show. Sad to see the direction the new show is taking.
MS Ester Rolle is spinning in her grave! What a disrespectful spin off to hers & Mr John Amos's work and what they fought and stood for! I guess Norman Lear finally did what he wanted to do in the first place. I will not watch anymore episodes.

I watched the first 2 episodes last week. Absolute garbage. I'm a 90's baby, but I did grow up watching Good Times.
No one asked for this — at all. It is so cringey to watch. 2024 Blacksploitation
wow. I wish I could say that I am shocked thank you for writing about this because I really didn't know anything about the old show
this is about as enraging as it gets

Funny how the Obamas seem to hate both blacks and Jews! It is a traditional alliance, but this seems a strange way to get there.
