Stars of the original Good Times are sharing their thoughts following the release of the trailer for Netflix's upcoming animated reboot. The original series, which premiered in 1974 and celebrated its 50th anniversary this year, focused on the Evans family in Chicago, portraying a realistic depiction of a working-class Black family over six seasons.
After the debut of the first promo for Netflix's animated reimagining of the Evans family, some fans expressed concerns about the portrayal of stereotypes, such as a drug-dealing infant, diverging from the positive themes of the original show.
