Let’s get past the pilot and the title, because if you can do that, the series that Netflix’s Good Times grows into by the end of 10 episodes isn’t nearly so dire and so worthy of instant condemnation. The last three or four episodes of the season have enough funny and promising elements that you would give that show, with a different title, some credit for its potential, even if it never rises to the level of actual inspirations like The PJs, The Boondocks and Bebe’s Kids.

There is actual potential in the new animated version of Good Times, but Shepard and her writers are too busy pushing the envelope to take advantage of that potential.

The first three episodes of “Good Times,” which is when I stopped watching, are stuffed full of repetitive stereotypes, stale jokes and bizarre choices.
