Do you expect right-wing groups to cry foul and sjw when they hear about this?


60 y/o Lee Daniels, film and television creator of the hit series Empire is reviving The WONDER YEARS..with an all BLACK CAST!!

A Revival of the late 80's/early 90's prime time comedy awas given a pilot commitment from ABC as Fred Savage, who starred as the original teen Kevin Arnold will direct the pilot and serve as executive producer

The Wonder Years was a coming of age series of a young boy and his life in a middle class family living in the american suburb

Each episode was told through recollections of Kevin as an adult through narration of Daniel Stern

Fred was praised for his portryal as a young protagonist and became the youngest actor nominated for a Best Actor Emmy at 13 as the series won an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy in 1988

The revival was a sizeable commitment from ABC after they received a script approval from a small writers room and will be developed for the 2021-2022 season

Fred has a reputation in both in front and behind teh camera as he directed more shows as opposed to starring in them

Do you expect right-wing groups to cry foul and sjw when they hear about this?

I'm not sure if the people who whine about this sort of stuff can actually pretend to care about The Wonder Years.

Then again I've been proven wrong before.

I guess I was too young to appreciate the show. I never found it funny when I watched.

tbh, when stuff like this happens, I don't really care just because I doubt that anything else would have been done with the property otherwise, and it does nothing to hurt the original's legacy.

if it turns out to be good, then great; that means I can enjoy a re-imagining of a series that I really liked.

if it turns out to be bad, then I can just ignore it.

So it will set in the same time period, right? I think it could be really good if they actually do something with it. The Wonder Years was a pretty good look back during those times, but it never really got into the race issue all that much. At least not that I can remember.

So I'm interested in this. I hope it's good

Is it going to be set in the same time period? Either way I don't get why it's being called a reboot. I imagine it's going to be drastically different. Only thing they will be able to keep is the tone from the original. Which is really dated in today standards.

I wanted it to be changed for a new time period. sometime in the 2010's was the perfect time that they could have done a reboot of Wonder Years about a man recalling his childhood in the 80's. but they didn't do it.

I liked that show, way back in the 90s when it came on Nick at Nite or something like that.

Kind of a weird show to reboot all of a sudden.

Seriously, is it that hard to come up with a new title? I get reboots of things very specific and noticeable in plot, but it's such a generic idea. It's like rebooting Columbo just turns it into a different detective show leeching the name.

I think it's because Fred Savage is working on it.

yes. that is exactly right. the intended audience was people who were kids or teens in the 60's

that's why I wanted a reboot set in the 80's or possibly 90s

I know pretty every episode left me bawling.

But, and maybe I'm wrong, but a show set in this time period with this vibe, the cast had to be white. If they want to change the setting, fine, but then I really don't get calling it the same name.
