The Wonder Years Season 1 Trailer | Rotten Tomatoes TV

Yes... it was called "All in the Family". Think of this new Wonder Years as the "Jeffersons" to the original. It focuses on a new family that isn't the Arnolds.

@karatemaster1144
Lol that backwards logic. It was a spinoff and had preexisting characters.

they got that 90s show

the movie "mid90s"

Claire Danes starred in the TV show My So Called Life. A timeless classic.

Everything Sucks on Netflix was short lived but really fantastic I think! I totally agree with you though.

I was gonna say, the 60s are no longer marketable. 90s would have been much better

No because then everybody would say this show is copying The Wonder Years

I think they should’ve updated it and set it in the 80s or 90s and really go for something different.

@@shelbyvillerules9962 Well, what you think they should have done and what they wanted to and chose to do are different things! Should people who do their own creative projects consult with you, whoever you are?

@@adipsous My point is that it’s really not their own creative project when it’s just a remake. I’m just saying that by setting it in a different decade they could better differentiate it from the original.

If you watched the first episode it would explain what ‘The wonder years” means… it’s not trying to copy or make you forget the original… it’s basically the same time as the original… you know the wonder years for kids. The name doesn’t make me ever forget about the original… I think people are so soft these days and always think of the negatives… both shows are great, but the original is the original..

Or at least make them white like the original show. This is Wonder Years Woke.

Nailed it!! Imagine the Chaos, would see Jesse, Al and possibly Ben Crump ALL OVER IT!!

Friends is literally Living Single rebooted.

​@@mosl2teno it's not. Friends and Living Single were two different types of shows. So tired of that lame argument. Living Single was not the first show about friends living together in an Apartment bldg!

@@meghanmisaliar Please enlighten me and tell me about the shows with a cast of 6, living on the island of Manhattan, with young adults, pursuing romantic relationships? Thanks

@@mosl2te the concept of friends living together is not an originall idea. It's like saying ANY show about a family is a ripoff of the Cosby Show. STG yawll just love trying to take credit for everything. 🙄

Yep, I think this was a bad decision. It originally sounded like they were senselessly rehashing the original by replacing them with a black family but now that I’ve actually seen the trailer and heard more about it, the similarities are minimal (as they should be) and I’m excited to see this show. I still don’t get what the point of calling it a “reimagination of The Wonder Years” was when they have little to nothing in common and this concept is good in its own right.

Totally agree

In one of the first episodes the narrator states that the “wonder years” is a specific time in a child’s life where to they still believe in the wonders of the world. So if we are following a new child through his “wonder years” then I think the title fits.

@@DanielBowens if that were so, even “Malcom in the middle” could be part of “The wonder years”.

horrible decision,,, just terrible

True, they've been full of it for years

More like a lobotomy.

Their heads are stuck up their own asses, either one would work.

Thats an understatement

Yeap

🤣🤣🤣🤣. If it happened ut be offensive, thats how it goes

@thomas brunn Its like they are calling for a black James Bond - whats next a white John Shaft???

@@QuantumOfSolace1 shieeeeet

The elves work all year round, every year. They've gone unnoticed for about 70 years, but they went too far last Christmas and it cost us the dislike button.

Hmmmm i wonder whats the big difference?? Something about the new little mermaid movie seems different about Ariel also just cant put my finger on what..

😂

Like a darker place in time .

Reeeeee

The original show was placed growing up in the 60s buddy lol ..I just learned that to in an interview they all did...I thought no way it was the 80s...so I went back to look and yup all the cars are 60s the clothes, glasses ECT, one episode winni gets to wear gogo boots and a miniskirt when she was 12 she thought it was cool in the interview

that would make me feel old then lol

@@breakingames7772 I think he meant they should have made this iteration of the show set in the 80s-from what I understand it’s pretty much common knowledge that the original show was set in the 60s. No offense, lol

They did make a show like that, called Everybody hates Chris

THATS WHAT I ALWAYS THOUGHT THEY SHOULD DO

Never

That would just be El Chapo narrating his childhood

Go watch re-runs of the George Lopez show, problem solved

It is already out, It's called "el Chavo del 8".

You have to cry, yell, whine, and protest a lot first.

yeah we need a wayne

The brother is off fighting in Vietnam

I had to look up for "Escepeillay" because I tough I was missing a new word but...nevermind

Absolutely

This show better

@@M._mkid not even close lol

@@M._mkid Yes, it’s about as good as your grammar. 🙄

@@chrisjenkins203 Lol

Because society has brainwashed people to think that being feminine means your weak. Which is absolutely not true. In many ways the feminity of a women is exactly why women are strong, Kind and gentle. Every time a women is protrayed as strong now. she has to have masculine qualities it's stupid.

right

It is so tired to see the more masculine women now

@@minxxd Really great contribution to the discussion.

@@willywonka00 First, we need to see men as "kind and gentle" without thinking that they're weak. Who is to say that being kind and gentle are feminine qualities? Hmm?

I can see that!

Right 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Really.

I would watch it

Nope. Only one group gets the full pander at all times

Too bad

Over they head! But it would of surpassed the original anyway it already was. That's why white ppl killed it.

They did it's called Everybody Hates Chris and it was awesome show that they made from the heart

nope Hollywoos is fukin done

@@MegaKamandi Agreed.

Looks a new show, has a new name only

Its intentional if you havent guessed

Because it takes place in the same exact timeframe and it just so happens to have a small connection to the original. They referenced it in the most episode concerning Winnie Cooper’s brother in Vietnam.
Aside from that…. it has some of the same creative team that were involved with the original. Most noticeably Fred Savage as the director of this new version. So it’s not a knock off, a remake, or a bastardization of the original show. It’s simply a different take. A different take that some of the original series’ team is on board with.

@@victorrodriguez6608 Fair enough dude… I just grow wiry of these companies trying to cash in on nostalgia. It at first glance appeared to be nothing more than a quick cash grab. However, I may be wrong on this one. I haven’t watched it to be honest. Don’t really want to… But, if you say it’s good I suppose it’s worth a second look. The first series is so near and dear to my heart, I just don’t know if I can even give it a fair assessment. But I will give it a try.

@@dppatters Absolutely, like most shows nowadays, noone can come up with anything new on their own so they rely on others hard work, same with lots of music sadly too

@@victorrodriguez6608 after watching the title i was thinking maybe is a continuation, but after you explained now I get it.. wojder years. Same era different families going througj similar things.. man I miss that show growing up.. still remember that Winnie Cooper kiss. Hahahahaha

@@MYCHANNEL-on1cp the truth of the matter is there are many new original ideas out there but unlike years past, hollywood isnt interested in taking a "risk" to create something new. Instead they try to go the "easy" route by rehashing an older previously successful franchise while trying to pander to the market. Funny thing is more often than not, these "safe" franchises end up flopping and only pissed off fans of the original and dont gain a sizable following with the new generation of fans.

seas mamon

I could get into watching The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air with a Latino cast!

Fred Savage (Kevin Arnold) is the executive producer of this...

Or an all White cast!

Fresh*

Lets see YOU write better- what are your credits? Have you complained about Shakespeare with a black cast??? No. Madama Butterfly- black cast-- No!
Folks like you remind me when people see modern art like Picasso or Pollack say..." "Oh, I could do that!" But of course, they never do. If you want something new, lets see you do it. People who do, DO. People who complain, just complain.

@@bmccarthy3333 Let me get this right! By your reconning, only those that can clearly demonstrate that they can do better are allowed to have an opinion or be critical of another's work? Are you equally damming of people that review movies, games, books and art for a living, but clearly are not as talented as those they are passing comment on. I would be as critical if someone had taken the Cosby Show and did the same thing. It is lazy writing and production, more so given that Fred Savage has only found fame as '..that kid from the wonder years!'. It seems also that you are trying create an additional race argument where there is none. Am I not allowed to be critical of work that has black actors? Should I only be critical and judgemental if they were white only? Should only certain people play certain parts or should it be a free for all - that depends on the writer, the setting, the period, whether it adds to the art or becomes a distraction because of the zeitgeist. Oddly, it does seem that your focus in your argument is that I mentioned black actors and not the simple fact that it is lazy production and writing to just swap the actors around. My only hope with this new adaptation, is the historical aspects of the time and not looked or swayed by the racial aspects as viewed through optics and division that is being promoted and leaned on today.

@@BitsBytesBobs People who are paid to critique, if they have any worth, critique after they see, experience, or read the work in question. However, you let your prejudices get ahead of that. You don't have the ability to DO...so you complain--how American! There is nothing like American laziness of thought....you prove it.

@@ava165 You mean like they DONT with Shakespeare's plays? 1000s of adaptations. Same title, different casts, different races, different languages? You don't know much about the Arts and adaptation I see, huh, Ava?

After watching the pilot last night- that’s exactly what this reboot is. It has very weak writing

With comments like that maybe it's even better shows like this are being made.

@@L.Spencer no way it’s like a part two to any movie ….they usually suck!

Catering or pandering and it’s so over the top right now

Ya, but who wants to see 2001? Those were seriously some boring years! The year of Enimem!

@@neilolsen342 The 2000s was one of the best decades in recent history. Technology and society were in harmony, and music, fashion, and TV was incredible.

@@neilolsen342 There was a lot going on, actually-it was all negative, but it was still going on

I think you could do that and have a Muslim family be the focus in a post 9/11 world. That was my childhood

@@neilolsen342 You clearly weren’t even around then because there was a lot going on

WHy the negativity? The use of the wonder years franchise provides a preexisting structure for presenting the viewpoint of people of color of the time in a familiar way.

Cry more

@@jch13213 Sick of hearing about it, the democrats have driven it into the ground,

@@bluemouse5039 Well I mean people of color have had 400 years of dealing with it so I think you getting annoyed a little bit doesn't quite pay that back

@@jch13213 oh, show me someone who's lived 400 years.

. . . both this one and the old one, trading episodes, i mean.

original never acknowledged racism. Looks like this one will

Seeing as the 60s were exponentially more transforming and different for people of color than for white folks, yes.. this will be amazingly creative.

I liked watching the original “Wonder Years” growing up but other than being in the same time period, this will be different. I’m here for it! Can’t wait to watch it.

It disrespectful to the original I won’t watch it
Why can’t they leave the original alone

@@christiphergarmendia8196 What’s disrespectful? Are all spin offs bad? Do you own the rights to the show? Of course, what you watch is your own business. I, for one, don’t mind.

@@alaaji2 they said they would never do a reboot leave it the way it is

@@sandrafernandez3839 Absolutely, it’s like why would you use the “The Wonder Years” of all shows. It’s white suburban as hell. I seriously question the logic of who thought this would be bright idea.

@@rock85cool You're right, it wasn't a good idea, the whole cast should have been white.

they paint cherries black, apples black, oranges black and so on

@@georgbonil7932 lmaoo you said it good

Actually it isn't, if it were it be copying everything the original did.

I was about to say the same thing. If he thinks the idea of this show is parasitic, then I wonder how he thinks the ppl growing up in that time frame felt, who were finally allowed to sit on the bus where they want, go in restaurants and stand on the sidewalk if White ppl were on it, felt.... 🤔

@@c2g1980 What does he feel about Elvis or Benny Goodman? Twerking, braids? Black culture in general. They are always projecting.

@@wiseguy240Winston They literally copied the original format, idiot. It is just an excuse to make it about black people. They need to leave the Wonder Years alone if they are going to pull this. This would have been just as much of a travesty if they had remade the Fresh Prince and made it about a white family.

It looks good. I’m gonna give a try. But I hope the entire show isn’t about racism. It’s like, damn, can’t y’all ever just make a show or a movie about black people without constantly adding oppression to it? Like we get it, now give us other movies/shows to watch

I will be blown away if this is all happy go fun times of being a black kid in that era. I would give that about a 0.01% chance of being how they play it.

@@monopoman ofcourse everything isn’t going to be “happy go lucky” but there were black cities and towns back in those days where black people lived and were happy. They stuck together as a community and built together (supported black businesses, had their own schools, worked together etc). I want to see that part of black life in the 60s displayed on screen for once. Like, show other facets of black life. Instead focusing so much on the oppression, focus more on the bond and the strength of the community during that time

Im sure it won’t be all sunshine and rainbows. But i dont think being a black family in 60s was either. They’re gonna have to deal with racism and the civil right movement. But im sure there were also many things for black families to be proud of in their community that dont get talked about. So along with the problems that a black family had to deal with i hope we also see the things that Kevin had to deal with in the original. Like your first love, or trying to make sense of young men dying in an unpopular war, or even just being the kid thats not really sure what to think of anything and just trying to figure it all out. Thats why im looking forward to it.

@@albusdd2241 exactly! You took the words right outta my mouth

The cute and funny show was the original from the late 80's and 90's

That just made me puke

why can’t they make new shows omg

Great! I'm definitely going to watch! I'm excited to see these shows from a different perspective!

It’s all about perspective. If you can’t understand the demand for a new and different perspective, you’re living way too deeply in the past

We should reboot black comedies with whites. Can't there would be riots.

Sorry for commenting one year late, but these are original characters. It isn't the Arnold family, it's the Williams family.
It simply takes place in the same universe as the original Wonder Years.

@RENSA80 I agree..

Because they are black huh

@@andheardstudios8089 No because maybe they’re shoehorning racism in there for the trillionth time

. . . . 8 months later . . . .

Literally EVERY SINGLE show from the 60's on up.

What are you really offended by? I can guess.

You can have a reboot of Family Matters with a Caucasian family, they just wouldn't be the Winslow family.
The original Wonder Years dealt with Kevin ARNOLD and his family, the reboot deals with the WILLIAMS family.
See the difference?

You mean Big Bang Theory? 😂

@@janellejulianajoy Williams? Should have been the Kang Family.

It’s because W is beautiful and B is not.

Hmmm, I wonder why?

Billy Badazz you’re gross, btw.

Yelezi ding ding ding, that is the correct answer!

Yep. Me too. I remember when my dad and my older sister would watch the original Wonder Years when I was in elementary and middle school. I watched the first episode of the new series tonight, and I can’t believe they didn’t even use the original theme song at the beginning of the show! It was very different than what I had expected. Was hoping they would play more songs from the 60s in the episode. The original series was great!

Explain, please.

Lol I would love to be a fly on the wall so I could hear their answer's 😉

@@adipsousif you need an explanation you are simply trying to pull someone into a pointless argument. So, figure it out and pout.

Do you not hear Don Cheadle’s voice through the entire narration?

Fred Savage is directing and producing this show, which is lovely, but Don Cheadle (♡!) is the narrator. I don't like or understand the reuse of the title either, but it probably makes marketing it easier.

@@krystal1722 I read Fred was doing narration for first episode. We'll see though, it airs tonight so pretty hyped

Sure, we can call it the Trumps

@@LBell67 shiettttt

Da Kangz of Bel Air yafeelme?

“Officer, i wuz borrowing it n shiet”

Yep. I watched the first episode last night and it was different than what I was expecting. Thought it was going to kind of be more like the original and have more music from the 60s. I’ll watch a couple more episodes of the new series and see if I like it or not.

Agree. I watched last night and it was meh . None of the characters are hitting at all. It seems like an exact reboot .. only with race issues thrown in .. meh

I like the Intent. I love the cast. But... This should not be called The Wonder Years.
I will be watching more, I like the Show. Needs a new name though, It has a different vibe, a good vibe, This show can stand out + stand alone with a new name

@@tinakaannelewis8432 yep. I watched two more episodes and the show is pretty good. I agree, they should have used a different name instead of The Wonder Years.

@@ava165 agreed 👍

funny how we can like the original and be willing to give the new one a chance but judging from the comments the palm pippo think otherwise.

I'm going to watch it. I believe it will be a great series but majority of the shows sharing people of color end up getting canceled for unknown reasons which I think is bs.

@@tiffanywashington1785 very true 👍

I was just thinking they should do a remake of some old black movie that black people mainly like. I bet they wouldn’t like boys n the hood or menace to society swapped to an all white cast

​@@double0nine73 menace to society and boys n the hood surrounded american ghettos in the 90s, replacing the cast with white people wouldn't be accurate. the wonder years surrounded 60s culture as a whole, having a cast with black people would be accurate.

Bull,, I’m sure there were plenty of white urban gangbangers that wore Raiders caps in the late 80s and early 90s,,I want to see it portrayed on film God dammit

I didn’t know they had a black version of this. It gotta be way better with drive-bys, some gangs, twerking and what not

​@@mr.anderson3288 so basically everything you know about black people comes from stereotypes and music videos😂

Well, you're right. But the truth is america was a different place last wonder years show. The demographics are changed and soon enough, give it a few generations and this is who the majority will not be people that 'look like you'.

@@acengland82 yup, then America will officially become a 3rd world country and all the forefathers and the millions of lives lost by men in battle will be for nothing because weak republicans and evil democrats wanted to virtue signal. Can't wait

Look at Telemundo

Watch “Pen1s” it has amazing 90s nostalgia for those born in the late 80s!

@@soccermommyNPC I love the title lol I'll check it out, thank you!

I’d love a realistic 90s show. Goldbergs and Schooled are way too cheeky. Pen1s is good but its more on the cheeky side as well. Freaks and Geeks was ahead of its time.

I think the 80s have been done more than the 60s

Looks like you got your wish. “That 70s Show” is getting a 90s spinoff with the daughter of Eric and Donna staying with Red and Kitty on summer vacation.

yeah if they had called it my hometown nobody would have a problem.

I was so pissed when I saw this crap. I was expecting what they did with Fuller House or something. This is not the Wonder Years. They literally just copied the format and made a completely different story with black actors. This isn't the Wonder Years in any sense of the title.

I know, its insulting..

Seriously, F you Disney! "Wonder Years" is sacred territory, create a new show to shove you social "message" in. Well, they destroyed Star Wars, a Marvel is heading that way fast, so I guest it fits the agenda.

Wym it is about the wonder years

Just think about why they did it. It's not that hard.
Answer: Because it was a good idea. Wonder Years from a black perspective. And the original show's people - Fred Savage - agreed, and produced it.

What a lousy joke.

soon I hope

Yup let's do white reboots of black series omg that would be a crime. Can you say rioting if this happened.

I'm black, this is so irritating. First how about we don't reboot the damn show in the first place, it's perfect how it is? Secondly if I want to watch a Black boy grow up, I go and watch Everybody hates Chris....A damn good show I might add...If it's not broken, don't fix it!!
