"Good Times" was downright ridiculous at times

[mastermind]

Insecure wasn't bourgeois. Issa is working class. In fact, all of her work went towards improving her community.

Now Black-ish, that's a bourgeoisie show.

Ehhh, Issa wasn’t working class in the traditional sense. She worked a lower class person in the professional managerial class space, which is different than someone working at Amazon warehouse.

She wasn't even that... I think the person who said bourgeois was right.

"of or characteristic of the middle class, typically with reference to its perceived materialistic values or conventional attitudes.



It was definitely that. No matter what her paycheck was supposed to represent, the clothing, setting and the interactions seemed way above the working class people. It was almost Sex and the City... Carrie running around all high class and shyt but in reality a writer in NYC would be a fukking bum

I was told by some old Chicago people that good times was a decent representation of the 70s in Chicago

I couldn’t really fukk with it after I watched the black Jesus episode and it really made me analyze Florida and how she was fukking every lic up James had

Thats how older black people were/are. Florida was a real representation

The episode when Penny's mama came back and Willonia was throwing a Diddy, freak off party. 2 cops did a raid on a whole apartment. How in the world did they arrest all those people and put them in cop cars? On the 17th floor?

Florida being on that with black Jesus

That’s how you know majority of the writers were white

I'd be willing to relent and say she was middle class. She was essentially a community organizer and a landlord in the latter seasons. But she was broke at times, and while educated definitely not bourgeois.

Black card revoked confession: I’ve never watched this show nor Sanford and Son, and I have no desire to

Damn, no interest seeing at least an episode of both and how most black sitcoms thereafter referenced them . Both shows are in the top ten black sitcoms of all time rankings by us. A lot of people have Sanford and Son in the Top 3/Top 5. My fam on both sides love both shows, especially Sanford and Son and we watch them both (in syndication for me, of course).
