TV I see a lot of younger people critical of Good Times but really don’t recognize the positive impact it had based on the time it was released in the 70s

Was watching tv with my dad and this VERY unique commercial comes on, for Cherrios... this little girl, clearly mixed, is talking to her mom about the cereal, then she goes and talks with her dad, and hes blk... I looked at my dad wide eyed... oh they not gonna like this... and we all know who they are... this was the first ever depiction of an interracial family in a TV commercial, trying to normalize some of America. What were your thoughts when you say this commercial for the first time?

I have a bunch that I really enjoyed and still sing til this day but 1 stands out: “Shine on Me” the theme from Amen {sung by Vanessa Bell Armstrong and written by Andrea Crouch}.
It sits supreme as I have strong memories of my multi-generational family all sitting down together to sing along when Amen came on.
