Nothing Good about Good Times Reboot on Netflix

Two vocabulary words to describe my review of the newly released Netflix series.

[@KBee924]

Regression is absolutely corret. If viewers can recall the last episode of the original series: JJ began selling his artwork and was able to sign for a nice bachelor pad, Keith's knee healed and he moved both a pregnant Thelma and Florida into a mansion, and Michael moved on campus at his college. Technically, they had already made it out. It made absolutely no sense to take them back!

[@BlackLuv17]

Exactly... that Dead white man was just trying to smear the names of Eric Monte and Mike Evans from the grave!!! It was said that Jimmy JJ Walker a while ago wanted to recreate good times via an animated series and I guess that THIEF stole thst idea as well but turned it into garbage just because he could.

​@@BlackLuv17This was the most insulting TV show ever

[@mufasa1794]

EVERYBODY THUMB DOWN THE VIDEO ON NETFLIX

[@crystalsthefutureempress]

I did that the first day they put it on there. After I finish my series I'm cancelling Netflix for good.

[@Katherine24246]

We all have to cancel, that's the only way to make a difference.

[@2KGrind09]

I refuse to watch it, I went on Netflix to thumb it down

[@jasm5213]

Great idea. I'm gonna do the same.

[@PhilosopherWR]

Same.

[@BlackLuv17]

Awesome idea 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾

[@sanalawhorn2113]

Slave making netflix lower case !

[@molly2frodo222]

That is what I want to do

[@BusinessMan1619]

I watched a couple of episodes to be sure it was awful and it absolutely was. Unfunny, dated, degrading, and racist.

[@hicksa1]

I actually was horrified! They truly don't want us to have any dignity.

[@mec2806]

I've never seen my father's feet, let alone him exposed. I couldn't make it past the first minute, so I appreciate you not only enduring but thoroughly combing and reviewing this travesty of cartoon.

[@ADadSupreme]

I'm 59, and I couldn't get past the trailer for this show.

[@atiaaustin4180]

F.A.C.T.S!!! I UNSUBSCRIBED MY NETFLIX ACCOUNT PERIOD ✊🏾 THANKS FOR YOUR INSIGHT AUNTIE BEV 👑❤🖤💚

[@crystalsthefutureempress]

Good job.

[@mz.punkin7669]

I'm thinking of unsubscribing also this was a tipping point remember when cable first came out there were alot of new releases then as time went on the movies became repeated over and over and 10yrs old, just not worth it anymore and the rates continue to increase

[@yolandamiltona3561]

This is what some black people do, put their own people down for the love of money. SMH

[@TewasaSonko]

Just sad! They don’t realize that “those people” are laughing AT THEM and NOT WITH THEM.

[@mantenna1077]

This lady is cool i like how she uses words I haven’t heard and then says the meaning of the words I hope she does more videos like this in the future! Loved this video I might even rewatch it a few times more to get her words regularly in my vocabulary 😊

[@SheniceSays214]

I learned the meaning of the words umbrage and ignominy. This is an embarrassment and all I’ve seen were the pictures and let KZbinrs tell me about it. I’ll be back for the word of the day. We have enough regressive shows on television as it is. The original GOOD TIMES show was about showing how black folks might be in the ghetto, but not of the ghetto.

[@AngelAPAVLOVSCornDog]

Learn a new word every day and practice using it. I need to get back to it myself 💯

[@kandystorressantiago8865]

Unfortunately I've met people who love watching stuff like this because it confirms a stereotype that lives rent free in their minds and keeps them happy thinking it's funny. I know from personal experience because my mom use to date a racist.

[@dboi4952]

Yeah, I can imagine most of its viewers being a certain kind of person.

[@Anttweezy]

Agreed. It’s garbage and I canceled my account.

[@Heirllionaire]

Either Seth MacFarlane or Stephen curry got catch hands for this show

[@JB-js4xi]

Wow! I grew up in the 70s and Good Times was such a beloved show. I even had the blue denim bucket hat with Dyn-o-mite written on it. I knew every character like a family member! And still often remember scenes and lessons like it was real life for me. This is disgusting they have done this to Good Times.

[@natefrmbklyn]

I really liked your delivery of the situation. Umbrage and Ignominy is crazy, had no clue Steph Curry and Seth McFarlane were involved.

[@curt349]

If you saw the trailer, their names were there

[@CarsonDouglas]

Somebody said, the roaches have actual roles in the parody 🤣

[@sashanoel167]

Auntie, you are so right, there is nothing good about it💌

[@jmannii]

How do we rate Netflix shows? We need to crash the ratings.

[@burritosforlater]

This is a great video. Love the vocabulary. I also think this speaks volumes about our current culture and how people play the fool by acting as if taking offense to something is irrational. You just dispelled that in the best way.

[@nevernumber2alwaysno164]

Thanks for the new words and the narrative on "bad times" bcoz Good Times was truly a staple in our homes and discussed real isaues for working families And parental love 😍😍😍😍 #legendary

[@Loveyourself6350-l6c]

@auntiebev Thank you for covering this Yes my grandfather Eric Monte is the one he stole it from and you can check our his interview on Comedy Hype

[@BlackLuv17]

Dear sister your interview was spot on. I do not know your grandpa but I stand with him ..Mike Evans and Jimmy JJ Walker about this issue. It is disgusting how that dead white man turned your grandpa's life upside down just because he could.

[@myautumnishaunted]

It’s such a letdown. What a shame Netflix allowed another awful reboot 😔

[@user-qy5jm4gy8x]

Umbrage: to take offense, find offense

[@xandercrew6088]

To hear someone give your takes and add incredible vocabulary words in the process, I’m so grateful for your channel -- KEEP BRINGING THOSE PERSPECTIVES and that VOCABBBB LESSONS we need themnmm haha

[@earlsmith2524]

Eric Monte was the created Good times

[@Dustin_Frost]

The fact that they're "the Evans of new" makes me think they were deliberately trying to box out Eric Monte.

[@BlackLuv17]

Or trying to smear his name Because he let the world know that dead white man was racist a liar and a THIEF.

[@sazonsongs]

The show is an abomination and an affront. The first and main difference I noticed when I watched it (for ten minutes before I disliked it and turned it off) was that the original Evans family lived in the projects, while this iteration (how’s that for a word, Aunty Bev? 😏) of the Evans family has a project/ghetto mentality. The drug dealing baby trope is from a bit stolen from Dave Chappelle’s ‘Killing ‘Em Softly’ Special, which, by the way, was told with a completely different tone and in a completely different context.

[@autobotdiva9268]

This looks like "children of the corn" gone wrong.

[@executivewoman678]

In the famous words of Ice Cube..."here's what they think about you"! 🤢🤮

[@MarcieHill]

Yeah, it was so low class I couldn't watch it. And I was looking forward to it. Your comment about the the mom having the same name was hilarious!😅😅

[@lisanicholas2433]

Much thanks for the info and the education, Auntie Bev! ❤🙏🏾

[@captm9025]

It has occurred to me that the intended audience is NOT Black people. If that is true, then we must ask , “who is the intended audience?”

[@matxalenc8410]

I've noticed that a very long time ago - especially with our music.

[@Thisisjustname]

The reason why i think the audience isnt black people, is because you would never see a similar show about Asian people, Jewish people, the various Muslims communities, or even Hispanic people with such negative stereotypes. And the vast majority of the most popular entertain created by black people is sold to white people.

[@BlackLuv17]

I saw in some comment sections that they are having this go international so they're trying to let people in other countries think this is how the black community is.. That dead white man did this on purpose because Eric Monte told the world that he is racist a liar and a THIEF.

[@GEMof72]

Racists are the intended audience. They love pandering to their insecurities & ignorance.

[@mstif26]

I won’t be watching the GoodTimes cartoon but I will continue to watch m reruns of the original Good Times

[@PositiveVibesByAlan]

Thank you so much for speaking on this🙏🏿!

[@paulhitsonjr4471]

I agree with everything you’ve said. This was my favorite review because of the new vocabulary words I learned. Thank you! 😃

[@richardlisiura3025]

Bev, family morals were much better in the 1930 & 40's unless you are talking about the gangster influence that this early period holds in popular culture. Glad to see more people creating their own channels and representing the good values most want to see. It's something hollywood left behind a long time ago.

[@cynthiawilliams9880]

Exactly! I think I could only get through the first couple of minutes of that show! 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@user-ew1zh2lh9j]

Thank you. Yes educated elegant Auntie elevate us! I'm sick of the foolishness.

[@thecommentsection4725]

They needed Steph Curry ( chile, he bright skinned) or any type of black-ish person to even do this. Seth MacFarlane is known for this new agenda of 'aging' children. Notice, the babies ( this child and Stewie -Family Guy) always do mature things and talk with an adult voice. It's the subliminal agendas for me.

[@terrencebenjamin7241]

I have watched it and before I saw the reviews the first episode had me scratching my head. A 2 year old drug dealer. This has Seth McFarlane all over it when you compare it to family guy and the Cleveland Show. The more I watch, the more I think that Netflix has to remove the show from its catalog.

[@saeedmsimmons333]

Love this break down!

[@audreysweezer246]

I'm not surprised this is just done for their satisfaction.

[@come_on_barbie_123]

Omg... I love your voice!

[@retrovaldosta9545]

Well Said Auntie!! 👑💎

[@tashareed6627]

HORRIBLE REBOOT!!!!!

[@richarddeleon8601]

Got to watch this tonight!

[@expressomixed7558]

The whole pitiful remake was absolutely beyond disgusting.

[@Mechum22]

I’ve heard some cast and crew talk about how they intended to send a meaningful message through the show’s provocative, satirical comedy. And perhaps there is something substantive there, but all I know is that the show is NOT for me.

[@aarondixon7]

Good content👏🏾

[@JT-fq2bl]

The dad was twerking in the shower with his bussy hair poking out. The first few minutes of the first episode already started off to a bad start.

[@marniebell5617]

Thank you on your take of the show. I totally agree with you. I saw the trailer, and it is a mess, pure garbage in my eyes.

[@afire2818]

Netflix needs to stop showing this show!

[@mz.punkin7669]

Omg i walked in on my dad in the bathroom in error i could not look at my dad in the face for months i felt so bad and so did he for forgetting to lock the door. Seth McFarland needs to take sensitivity courses and Steph 😅Curry think he's white lets keep it real. Thank you Auntie Bev for this enlightening review you must have been a educator.

[@angelaroby543]

The baby a big tip drug dealer and get kick at the house😮😮

[@curt349]

Netflix has the audacity to raise and keep raising prices and they put this junk on. Jimmie Walker is behind this, his idea he took to Sony according to Bernadette Stanis. Maybe because he heard of the rumored Married with Children reboot cartoon

[@leeverse9741]

The first scene..

[@lewisjones4130]

SOME THINGS ARE BETTER LEFT ALONE

[@tamaracharese]

The showrunner is a Black woman. She deleted her instagram I believe. The Credits on IMDB are mixing the original creators, creators that signed on but left for creative differences, with the new writers to confuse the audience. YNB put this show on her back and they let her carry it all by herself. I hope she's learned her lesson.

[@JAWrightonline]

Who is YNB?

[@tamaracharese]

@@JAWrightonline Yvette Nicole Brown. She voices the mom.

[@JAWrightonline]

@@tamaracharese Aw, DAMN! I like her.

[@luckyking42]

😔 sad But at the same time I was able to learn some new words.

[@msopinionated4374]

I told an associate of mines about the show and how we should boycott it and he said I was going on one person opinion looks like more than one to me.

[@DeemanThomas-bn9qi]

We gone stay with the real witch is the real sitcom good times on tv

[@curt349]

Norman Lear did still this idea from Eric Monte and Mike Evans. There are several videos here on KZbin about that

[@MsCassie272]

Who are the writers?

[@TewasaSonko]

That Cuban woman Ranada Shepard.

[@Mendyshahan]

I’m so glad I don’t have Netflix. If I did, I would cancel my subscription. Netflix has nothing I would pay for.

[@nicholaspitts9561]

Yes maam. Preach. I'd rather them reboot the p.j's vs this garbage.

[@rwwdzzm5608]

Netflix should do an All in the family instead a true American classic

[@jesusnodal8948]

Not wasting my time with garbage!!

[@nameuser4406]

Good times was a family that most of us didn't have. They lived morally and stuck together to figure things out. The whole point of the show to me was, just cause they lived in the Ghetto, doesn't mean they had to act that way. I learned a lot from the problem solving. I saw all i needed from the trailer. Stephen never grew up in the ghetto. He doesn't understand how most families live in the ghetto. It's the small groups that ruin it for everyone. The ghetto/hood doesn't have to be violent, or trashy. Good times, was about having good times. That show is an abomination to the purpose of Good Tmes. James, and Florida was hard working parents, and they wanted there kids to be the same. That show will never be replaced, but some people will only hear about that evil show on Netflix.

[@acrabbylionesspride5739]

This disappointed me so much. I❤ season 1-3 of Good Times.

[@orilocs]

Exactly, it is dreadful

[@FalconsFanForever]

I refuse to see this show too I don't care anything for it

[@HamonGong]

I forced myself to keep watching because I thought it was just me being wrong for disliking it and feelin uncomfortable

[@bluntdavinci2139]

I'm a 90s kid who has watched the entirety of the original and this was so heartbreaking to see

[@Docmananoff]

I’m not gonna watch it since EVERYONE I see is bashing the show, I don’t engage in lowlife stuff. And yes, Norman Lear STOLE the idea for the original show from Eric Monte: who wrote and directed the movie Cooley High, that’s why it’s set in the Cabrini Green projects in Chicago (where Monte grew up) and Lear also stole the Jefferson’s from Monte as well along with the co- creator Michael Evans (“Lionel” from the show…and the name of the Good Times character) But yeah, thanks for this video. I’m not watching the show.

[@BlackLuv17]

THANK you for letting Others know The Truth about that Dead white man..who turned out to be racist.. a liar and a THIEF as told by Eric Monte!!!

[@SisterREIGN]

Did anyone sign the petition to take it off the air?

[@lishajohnson1958]

Trust me I canceled my netflix already it's a dame shame ...she got on my nerves she's a sell out to trying to claim norman was a dear friend of hers I'm like norman the one that stole monte ideas...smh

Good evening. I couldn't get through the first episode smh

[@mauriceb.7391]

I just seen a vid of Stephen a smith and he said stef curry his behind this? Wow?

[@Funkyjunkmail]

It is 2024, we are well past these egregious caricatures and stereotypes. This iteration of Good Times is a complete mockery of the original show and everyone involved needs to be ashamed.

[@djsixfoota]

This is Gaaaar-Baaaag-Jaaaah! It's purely insulting. I was in total "Umbrage" myself. My new word for the month. UMBRAGE. 😊

[@happygirl864]

[@LSqwr]

[@414Chevy]

I never pull out my race card, but, Damn!!!!!!! A drug dealing baby???????

[@miriskab]

It's not a "Claim". He really did still the original show smh

[@GEMof72]

No surprises about Steph because he think he’s above us anyways. And Norman Lear stole the idea from Eric Monte & Mike Evans. (from Jefferson’s fame).

[@razzyp]

The show was a mess!!! I just spent the greater part of two days apologizing to myself for wasting time I won’t get back. The fact that a black woman is the showrunner is nauseating. Steph Curry can’t relate and is completely detached. I have no reason why he would tap into this. He doesn’t need money or clout so idk. His entire family are examples of all skin folk ain’t kin folk. I’m(or was) a HUGE Seth fan however my eyes went on a sideways cruise and hasn’t returned from vacation when I saw him put his name on this …..as for Norman Lear….history repeats itself. Just saying. Mad respect for how he put black people on back in the day but he didn’t just let us bake in his bakery, he took the cakes and devoured them too leaving nothing but crumbs.

[@MrJoshinJosh]

Good Grief Times is more like it.

[@JayMoney81178]

I couldn’t make it past the first episode.

[@lorettalacy5507]

Auntie. why don't you tell us how you reeeealy feel???

[@AveryBlackman]

There's a lot of shady stuff shown on Netflix that even so-called Christians watch.

[@cristeanhightower2635]

I saw only a few minutes of this cartoon. I thought that it seemed to be one of the most egregiously stereotypical monstrosities that I have seen in a while.

[@brianrecinos3914]

I may not have watched the original Good Times (though I was aware of it through other means), I still found the trailer to this piss-poor reboot nothing less than a bastardization of a Norman Lear original. My only hope is when this garbage gets cancelled, they will not do the same to another great Lear show, All In The Family because we know how much poppycock wankers today would love to corrupt that great piece of media entertainment.

[@Katherine24246]

Grandson how? Why won't the producers address which child ended up with a son back in the ghetto AFTER the whole Evans family FINALLY got out of the ghetto on the final episode of the original Good Times show. Offensive is putting it mildly. Thanks for this video calling this reboot out for introducing this filth under the Good Times legacy. Not only did they not elevate the family, instead it's a complete regression.

[@come_on_barbie_123]

Were u or are u a teacher? I get big teacher vibes from you! Lol

[@kevinreese8224]

I couldn’t get past the trailer but all I can think was disgusting, trashy, indignant, crappy (the s word), sellout insanity, and downright stupid! I’m giving Netflix one week to take it down or I’ll end my subscription, and as for Curry he’s a disgrace and a poor role model for this hot mess 👌🏽

[@BrightAmbition]

Stephen Curry is showing his white side with this mess, wtf. The jokes just seem out of place. Also Seth MacFarlane is a huge MAGA Republican racist is why the jokes became weird on this show. I saw a Family Guy episode that gave me nightmares about a squirrel and I usually like Family Guy but the new comedies aren't even funny they are stupid and the story half of the time is all over the place and just has fillers and one line zingers left. Most comedy is just either dry lately or wanting to be so controversial that it takes away from the jokes it just becomes attention seeking or boring.

[@russm4391]

Idk where it was stated he was a Maga republican but he is a Democrat btw. He regularly calls out the republican party and Trump

[@lishajohnson1958]

That's ok cuz his nappy hair confirms his blackness...I cant stand seth ....

[@michaelle8384]

Don’t forget comedy today they take you pain and make fun of it think it’s funny I prefer show like married with children and I love Lucy any time those are my favorite comedy show and I’m black I said what I said

[@jmannii]

Seth McFarlane gives to the Democratic Party. And that's the same party that holds low values for Black people. The party supports single parent families, living off the government, and fighting against those who are paid to protect us. Their solution to all of our social problems is "more money, more programs" - as if Black culture doesn't need strong community and family relationships (in other words, kids need parents not programs). So, this show fits in line with his Democratic values.

[@Misscarter86]

Netflix needs to take the show off it was so racist and stereotyped horribly

[@mrp9507]

She used behoove incorrect smh

[@PhoenixEden]

Extremes were used to make the truths they were sharing digestible, in my opinion. Westernized culture loves to emblish a story. There was a method to the bufoonery. This Good Times represents now. Young boys at this day and age the girls'age, have seen a lot of women naked this is not the first show where a teenager saw their parent naked. We've seen black people leave poverty on TV. That's been happening since The Jefferson's moved on up to the East Side. The Evens wouldn't be the Evens if they ever left the Projects . There are families that never leave the project physically or mentally. The Evens are not representing Black excellence.. The truth is that while they had aspirations , they were not willing to break laws or go against a faith that was never designed with them in mind . So they remained in struggle.This makes absolute since. The Evens tom foolery in both the old and new are examples of surviving, endurance, and resilience, and while navigating the modern-day wild .

[@DRaquascapes]

Its satire...a mirror.
