Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Black-ish, and Family Matters are iconic sitcoms centred around African American families. However, the show that pioneered this genre was Good Times back in 1974.
Good Times was the first sitcom to focus on an African American family who had pride in the face of adversity, featuring an all-African-American cast. With six seasons under its belt, reviving such an iconic series demands the utmost respect, as it holds a special place in the hearts of African Americans. Alternatively, 50 years later, you could follow Netflix's recent example and disregard that significance entirely.
