    �In the case of Good Times there is going to be a comparison, but it�s
    not an infringement of copyright,� said Shaun Weiss, who is the
    attorney for both BernNadette Stanis (who played Thelma in the TV
    show) and the project. Kevin Fontana is her manager. �What we are
    doing is bringing a new era into the cast. The characters have never
    been copyrighted or trademarked,� said Weiss.

    Call them "racist"; That'll shut them up.
