The thumbnail is my exact reaction when I first heard of this.

2 good episodes didn't save the season.

A lot of the side plots did nothing for the bigger arc nor did it provide the enjoyable slice of life moments like previous seasons. This show could've wrapped up in 3 x 10 episode seasons. A-train's arc was nice. I didn't care either for butcher's hallucinations and the writer's really leaned into their political flavor and if you didn't watch Gen V like me the ending was okay at best. Can't wait for Jensen next season

Look, The Boys has never been great. Never. It has always had shitty and unfunny writing, shallow characters. Eric Kripke is a total hack. The ONLY redeeming quality is that Anthony Starr is amazing as homelander, and he was barely used this season. The most mid season of a very mid show.

You nailed it when you said “What’re we doing?” What ARE we doing? There was no story. It’s like an outline was made but they didn’t write what goes in the middle. It’s sad too. I was SO looking forward to this, and it just didn’t hit it. Carmy was so mean to everyone too. They’re trying so hard to make his dream come true and he’s treating them like he was treated. That seemed to be the point of the story. Meh.

This feels more dated than the 70s sitcom with it's Dubya era edginess

agreed

Good job, on the video.

This was horrible when I seen the singing roach it was a wrap for me

I really just thought that talking baby and everything else makes it familiar to family guy and now i see why......

I hear ya. I feel like this season was pretty pointless.

Whaaat?? I usually never comment, but what?! Sometimes you have to go back in order to go forward. We learned how Tina and what made her show up the way she initially did. We get to see the mom trying to push past her former self and show up differently as a matriarch. We get to see Sugar boldly assert herself and her fears of becoming her mother. We see Sidney struggle deciding in investing in chaos or peace. We get to see the development of The Cousin as he has to come to terms with his ex wife moving along as he embraces his expertise under the rigid thumb of a numbed out Carmy. Carmy opening up a business as he tries failingly not to become the chef he hates. This was an awesome season. With that being said, your video production is nicely configured.

I swear to goodness that i didn't know that it existed until now😭😂, why they done my show like that.

A drug-dealing baby is something that has to have come from the mind of Seth McFarlane.

I like the show

No wonder it's awful, it's got Velma animation.

Thelma wouldn't be Reggie's mother because her husband, Keith got signed to play pro football again, so they wouldn't have lived in the ghetto. Unless something happened and she had to return there. If I had to bet money, I'd say that JJ was his father.

I seriously cannot believe the showrunner was a black woman.....

How many negative stereotypes have they put in this?

The show is hot garbage!

At least the art style is different from Family Guy and Rick and Morty.

I’m late but. One of the most fucked up part’s is when this show fails Netflix is gonna go “see animation just doesn’t work”. And I actually kinda like the animation on this show. It’s at least stylistic.

Blacks' entire identity is being black

I think the art and style of the show is actually really good, and it's unfortunate that the Animation itself couldn't match it

The Freudian/perverted relationship between the damn baby and the mother. I didn't like it.

It feels like someone made this series, then some studio executives re-wrote some parts and renamed it to give it brand recognition. Just soulless.

Incredible video, continue to make more! ❤

I really like the art style and animation. I just wish all the characters weren't so ugly too look at. But like, the background, lighting, and a lot of the shots look really good. I legit didn't even know this was a reboot though, this has nothing to do with the original. More than most "reboots" do

The animation style was also just sloppy too. I feel like shows like the Boondocks/even the Proud Family set the bar for black animated shows, and this show had REALLY silted/lazy animation

In the series finale of the original Good Times, the Evans family leave the ghetto and everyone goes their separate ways. So how did the new generation of the Evans family end up back in the ghetto?

It's like they missed the point of the original

Some of the "animation" kinda just looks like they added color to the animatics.

They would not let this show even leave the drawing board if it was any other race ! But they know who to play with cause we as a whole not serious bout our culture

It’s made for hate-watching. We live in a reality where it’s actually profitable to make shows that are supposed to be hated by people, because people watch it and then tell everyone how bad it is, and so more people check it out.

Good shows like The Boondocks, the Venture Bros and Morel Orel should have shown animators that you need to do better.

I can’t even lie, watching this video made me really want to watch this show. I saw that a reboot of some show that I never watched came out on Netflix and I started seeing videos come out about it saying it was bad (I didn’t watch any videos, but it says that it was bad in the thumbnail). When I got to this video I finally cracked and wanted to find out what was so bad about this new show. Nothing apparently? Ok, let me backtrack a little because I don’t want to undermine your video as I did enjoy it a ton and can understand some of your points. This is not a good reboot, period. Without even watching good times I can say that this is very obviously not a good reboot, and I assume it was an original show that the network forced the good times IP onto. That being said, when you said that you didn’t know who this ow was for I would massively have to disagree with your sentiment that it is for no one, for it seems to be aiming for a demographic that wants a more raunchy proud family. You were describing the episode premises and when I heard them it sounded, well, interesting? It sounds like a good idea to have a modern day show tackle some of the struggles of lower class families. Why listening to you talk I was also watching the footage. I know that you said that the animation wasn’t good (and maybe as an animator myself and I’m a little biased) but this show looks genuinely incredible! All the character designs are visually appealing and give out a lot of personality. Like, I don’t even know what to say more about it, it’s like a spiderverse take on the animation style of rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles, and I’m kind of in awe? In conclusion, I liked your video, but I guess it kind of convinced me the opposite of what you were trying to convey. Sorry

Can I just say that I've never actually seen the original. Watched this and just went "what the fuck is going on anywhere" like nothing is related to anything. They do a fucking Elon musk episode and I just stared like.. does Elon have anything to do with what the premise of the show is

The fact 99% of the critics are Black gives me hope, ngl

Y’all really taking this to heart I like it I was going to say the same shit cuz the real good times I like just was depressing as hell still just hate watching it for long the animation I loved it they struggle but they don’t make it depressing. It’s funny as hell, love the voice actors they picked and to be it was better than that Velma bulshit . Like I said I gave it a chance and I’m waiting for a season 2 TBH

Surprisingly pool halls are still around. Theres one by a vape coffee lounge where i live. They have good coffee that they also put CBD in.

Man I am Hispanic but grew up watch TVLand only and fuvking loved Goodtimes and definitely JJ was my all time favorite!

I don't know about this show. I watched the entire series and I kind of see why people think it's bad. It is bad, trust me. And they shouldn't have did that to original Good Times. But as I was watching it, I noticed this: The show is bad to let the bad know how bad they are doing. They referring to the black community. The show actually has some good messages like the tampon girlies vs the pads girlies. And how past generations stick to the rules which are different in a new generation. I don't know how to interpret this show but I took a quick analysis on it and I can actually see why the show is bad. It's to let the community know how bad these stereotypes are and how we're living up to them without even knowing.

Sometimes a show gets made that you can’t figure out how it gets that far into production. Especially with animation, where it takes a while to make. The tone doesn’t fit. It’d be one thing to put tomfoolery and minstrelsy like this into a reboot of the PJ’s, but Good Times was never about absurdist high concept. Even if it were done well these would be odd choices.

Good times wasnt just a bad show bro in general i think they just tried WAYYYY to hard to be edgy comedy like boondocks

Dude the show sucks dick but don’t spend the first five minutes talking about how you didn’t even watch the whole thing because of how bad it was.

The characters and animation style are so ugly.

Seth MacFarlane is probably the reason for the baby and we still have pool halls in Sweden but they are often part of a restaurant/bar

1:28 just hearing that premise alone is sad. Two generations and this family line couldn't pull themselves out of the "ghetto" and poverty? That's real racism. It reinforces the prejudiced idea that the African American community belong in poverty and that they are fine staying there. Thats the type of racism akin to Song of The South. Absolutely disgusting

The show wasn't perfect from the start. You can tell its made by the same people as power. I noticed you didn't talk about Meech's stripper girlfriend. She was forgettable but still lol great video! Temu tupac is hilarious 🤣

Mind you the people who greenlit this (Netflix) can’t stop shoving 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ stuff down peoples
