At the time of publishing, the animated reboot of Good Times was just a day away, which is likely why the series ranks so high up on the IMDb MovieMeter. More pertinently, its popularity may not necessarily be a good thing as the series, which serves as a reboot of the beloved 1970s sitcom, has caught plenty of flack since it was first unveiled.

Created By: Steve Yockey
Genre: Action, Adventure, Comedy
Cast: Brian Cuoco, Caitlin Reilly, Max Jenkins, Yuyu Kitamura, Lindsey Gort
Netflix Release Date: April 25th, 2024
