Good Times to be revived on Netflix by Seth MacFamilyGuy, Steph Curry and the late Norman Lear

Good Times is back—in animated form. Netflix has released the first trailer for its reboot of Norman Lear’s beloved sitcom classic, featuring the voices of Yvette Nicole Brown and JB Smoove.

Ranada Shepard (Born Again Virgin) is the showrunner of the Good Times reboot, which counts Steph Curry and the late Norman Lear among its executive producers. Based on the trailer, Shepard is taking full advantage of the animated format, which allows for more surreal (and salacious) gags. And since it’s on Netflix and not network television, Good Times can push more boundaries than its groundbreaking predecessor—in terms of both profanity and subject matter.

That trailer was so painfully unfunny. I cringed multiple times.

The trailer gave me cancer holy crap the original 70’s show (made by a white guy who’s most famous work was a show about a lovable bigot) treated black people with more dignity than the trailer did

Never even heard of this show, but if Seth MacFarlane is involved then I'm down!

That surprises you?

No I am not

That trailer, though. I haven’t laughed that hard since the bridge collapse.

Uhh, you mean All in the Family.

Archie Bunker was not supposed to be loveable. For good and ill actor Carol O'Connor found the humanity in Archie Bunker.

Were we watching the same trailer? I was definitely laughing hard.

There's even a character who is basically Black Stewie! Amazing!

I'll definitely be binging all of this once it drops, just like the Ted series.

The trailer wasn't promising at all.

[Progressive Pessimist]

Yeah, because 'The Cleveland Show' was such a hit.

Oof! This looks...bad...and problematic to say the least. The animation framerate is also a very odd choice.

I think they should just bring back 'The Boondocks'...as long as it isn't with the staff from season four...

Lovable might not be the right term I was looking for

The rest of you please tell me you wouldn't rather watch The Rise of Skywalker or any post-Endgame Marvels movies than this!

'Guardians of the Galaxy 3' was pretty good.

For 0.5 seconds I thought Seth MacFarlane was making an animated show that was a sequel to Good Time (Safdie Brothers) and audibly groaned.

People hate it on the comments, but the idea of a black Stewie is kind of interesting.
