Petition calling for a boycott the New Good Times animation show on Netflix

Alistair Fannell has started a petition at Change.org calling for a boycott the New Good Times animation show on Netflix.

His petition reads:

The New Good Times animated series on Netflix is a glorified stereotypical show that has damaged the image of the original Good Times family show that started in 1974 through 1979. The New Good Times animated series promotes violence, culture destruction of the Black community and alcohol abuse. It’s time to put a stop to this nonsense that is portraying Black Americans in a negative light through these shows; could lead to bad outcomes towards our youth potential Police brutalities and an increase of the prison population industry. Against I ask everyone to please sign this petition to have the New Good Times animated show to be banned on Netflix.

Will you be watching the new Good Times Netflix reboot?

I made the mistake of actually watching the trailer for the reboot, reimagining, update, or whatever BS they want to call it of Good Times as an adult comedy. If the trailer is any indication the show will be a ghetto @ss minstrel show that features a baby as a drug dealer. Yeah you read that right, a baby as a drug dealer. I was disgusted and surprised by some of the "jokes" beacuse of some of the names behind the show such as showrunner Ranada Shepard Executive Producer Stephen Curry.

You can watch the trailer below, but be warned it is straight trash! After watching the trailer please scroll down and take the poll.

‘Sugar Shack’ Painting Featured In ‘Good Times’ Sitcom Sells For $15.3 Million

Ernie Barnes’ 1976 painting The Sugar Shack, familiar to millions of TV viewers for its use during the closing credits of the ’70s sitcom Good Times as well as serving as the album cover of Marvin Gaye’s 1976 release I Want You, sold at auction in New York City last night for $15.3 million.

According to Christie’s auction house, the sale set an auction record for Barnes’ work by more than 27 times the artist’s previous record, and was 76 times the high estimate of $200,000. The 10-minute auction drew 22 bidders before Houston-based energy trader Bill Perkins.

“I would have paid a lot more,” Perkins told The New York Times following the auction. “For certain segments of America, it’s more famous than the Mona Lisa.”

During the fourth season (1976-77) of the smash Norman Lear-produced sitcom Good Times, The Sugar Shack was used during both the show’s opening and closing credits, and in subsequent seasons was featured in either opening or closing credits. During the show’s fifth and sixth seasons, the painting appeared in the family apartment of the Evans family, suggesting it was the work of eldest son and aspiring painter “J.J. Evans,” played by Jimmie Walker.
