‘The Wonder Years,’ which aired from 1988 to 1993, is set to see its name added to the list of classic TV shows getting a modern day reboot.
Unlike its predecessors though, the revamped series is coming back with a twist so significant it will likely change the entire dynamic of the plot.
Details inside:
“ABC is making a pilot for an updated version of The Wonder Years – the 1988 coming-of-age dramedy that ran for six seasons and starred Fred Savage as a middle-class suburban teenager growing up during the late 1960s and early ’70s.
The revival will be set during the same time period, except it will focus on a Black family in Montgomery, Ala.
The show will be executive produced by Empire co-creator Lee Daniels, while Saladin K. Patterson (The Big Bang Theory) is the showrunner and original series co-creator Neal Marlens will be a consultant. Savage is on board as well, as a director and executive producer.”

As of time reported, no official premiere dates have been revealed.

I love The Wonder Years! 🥰🤳🏽
I swear they think lee Daniels, Tyler Perry and Kenya Barris are the only ones capable
After what lee Daniels did with empire, I’m good. His writing is worse than Tyler Perry’s…and that’s bad. Good luck to people he casts…
I Loved that show.
BUT
If Daniels has anything to do with this revamp then you already know that he is going to make one of the characters g**…
When it is not necessary nor will it be a reflection of the original show
I do nit like Daniels at all
Never have
Never will
He is a poison to the Black community
Cause there weren’t Black LGBTQ people in the 60s, right? Calm down and suck a d*** ho
@ Paulo
So because you are g** that gives you a right yo disrespect me ???
LGBT are blatant hypocrites
For the people who actually watched this show, there were No g@ys on the show, that was my point…
Daniels will change that and make one of the sons g** just to support his personal agenda.
Lgbt tries to insert themselves in everything and force their ideals onto everyone else.
Put that crap on g** channels for your viewing pleasure instead of disgusting everybody else.
News Flash most people do not want to see 2 men kissing.
That is reality.
If that is what you “prefer” then go where you are celebrated
Not tolerated.
Just about every show that pushes that crap onto viewers ends up cancelled.
This is a fact.
I have a right to disagree eith Lgbt
And I do. Deal with it.
Blablabla. You don’t get to erase folks you don’t like so just like I have to skip this crap on this site you’ll have to see LGBTQ people on TV or turn it off. Deal with it
Paulo,
I never said that i don’t like LGBT people. But as usual you guys try to twist the narrative to play victim.
I simply disagree with your ideals and sexual behavior….
By virtue of you being so defensive, it is a clear sign that you know it’s wrong.
If the whole world became g**
The human species would cease to exist.
You have no counter argument
Just foolish childish talk.
Do you.
P.S. I GLADLY change channels to avoid viewing abominable behavior.
You cannot force your ideals onto society and make people think it’s normal. LGBT is tolerated for political reasons only.
No hate, just honesty
Deal
With
It
Adios
no no, Justmeeee is on to something here! and he is absolutely correct!
I was semi-excited about this until I saw Lee Daniels named attached to it. Is this go be another Empire level of creativity? Ugh!
Loved Wonder Years as a kid. But… can we NOT have another reboot!? Especially “The Black Version of _____” I’m over it. Throw it in the garbage. Original content only, please.
If they do it in historical accuracy then it’s gonna be a whole other show. They should call it something else but it seems like a great project
I swear they think lee Daniels, Tyler Perry and Kenya Barris are the only ones capable
Everybody Hates Chris has already been done.. no thanks!!
^This.
I wish we could come up with our own ideas.
@Clarkson, Did you watch the documentary about your people? 😂
