“Good times are coming to the big screen. Black-ish creator Kenya Barris has been set to write the screenplay for a Good Times film based on the hit ’70s sitcom, his manager confirmed to The Associated Press.
“Good Times, which aired on CBS from 1974 to 1979, was about an African-American family living in a poor neighborhood in Chicago.”
To be specific, an African-American family living in Cabrini-Green, where writer Eric Monte had lived (Monte also wrote the screenplay for Cooley High, the inspiration for What’s Happening!!; he attended the real Cooley Vocational here in Chicago.)
Let’s take a look.
