The title of Eric Monte and Mike Evans’ Norman Lear-produced sitcom Good Times was designed to be welcoming and inclusive. The theme song was a litany of poverty-driven adversity — temporary layoffs, easy credit rip-offs, etc. — interjected with the chorus of “Good Times!,” setting up the story of the Evans family weathering the travails of the Chicago projects with a mix of pride, determination and a whole lot of dysfunctional domestic affection.
The title of Netflix’s new 10-episode animated Good Times has taken on an almost antagonistic quality, since the first trailer was released and devotees of the original blasted those two minutes for being a violation of said original’s style and spirit.

Where In The World Is Wendy Williams?
One Reddit user took to the platform to ask the question that everyone seems to be wondering since the release of the Lifetime doc: where in the world is Wendy Williams?
“I know the public is not owed anything, but this is almost starting to get a Shelly Miscavige vibe, right? As far as we know, her family still doesn’t know where she is. We never see a photo of her (unlike other celebrities who were under guardianships/conservatorships and/or were diagnosed with dementia). It’s like she disappeared,” they started the discussion.

A+E Networks fought for the docuseries called Where Is Wendy Williams? to air and they cited Britney Spears’ conservatorship as a good reason why it should. When Sabrina Morrissey, the guardian of the former talk show host tried to prevent Lifetime from airing it, she lost, and it premiered as planned. In fact, the ratings from the show that aired on February 24 and 25 were excellent.
Where Is Wendy Williams? Aired But It Was Disturbing
An initial court order seemed promising for the guardian but it was overturned. Many people believed that she only decided against it because it showed her in a poor light. However, the court-appointed guardian also felt that A & E Networks only showed the bad side of the former star’s life, making it a “cruel’ documentary on Lifetime.

Newly unsealed documents shed light on A+E Networks’ successful appeal of a last-minute effort to halt the airing of the Lifetime documentary Where Is Wendy Williams? last month.
A temporary guardian, Sabrina Morrissey, had sought a court order to stop the project, arguing in a lawsuit filed last month that the documentary was a “blatant exploitation of a vulnerable woman with a serious medical condition,” and that the talk host had lacked mental capacity to enter a contract to do the show.
A New York judge initially granted the order to prevent the airing of Where Is Wendy Williams?, but that was quickly reversed on appeal.
In arguing against a temporary restraining order to stop the project, A+E Networks’ attorney Rachel Strom wrote that Morrissey’s effort was an unconstitutional prior restraint, and on a topic that was in the public interest.
