As you all may have heard, legendary hit sitcom ‘Good Times’ is coming back to the television screen in a live holiday edition.
When ABC aired remakes of the ’70s sitcoms “All in the Family” and “The Jeffersons” back in May, it created a lot of talk both on and off line.
Not to mention it received three Emmy nominations, won the award for outstanding variety special and scored an average of 14.29 million total viewers, according to Deadline.
And just like those two sitcoms, “Good Times” was developed by Norman Lear, who infused a lot of the political talk of the day into the script.
The show starred Jimmie Walker, Esther Rolle, John Amos, Bern Nadette Stanis, Ralph Carter and Ja’net Dubois, and it’s where many saw Janet Jackson act for the first time as the character Penny.
The cast hasn’t been announced yet but Bern Nadette Stanis, who played Thelma Evans, had a suggestion that made sense.
Bern Nadette daughters really do look like her, maybe they even act alike. Who knows!
The live remake will air on ABC on Dec. 18.
Do y’all think one of Bern Nadette’s daughters will make a great Thelma on the show?
