I just saw the first episode and I can't believe it! I'm in awe, man! I want to follow this show, I want to support it, I want to know everything about it, every single solitary detail!
I know, I know, this is the Wonder Years for us, kids from the 80's, so there's nothing new in the formula, but... I guess that that's the fun of it, I mean, that's the point. To take every single element of a once beloved era and bring it to modern audiences in all it's old fashioned way. I could almost see the grains in the image, typical from movies from the 80's.
It has great characters, I mean, believable characters, the jokes are great, funny as hell, it has good acting and it's loaded with references that someone like me will immediately identify.
Seeing the characters, I was practically getting acquainted with them in lots of ways. And watching the "Kevin Arnold" from this show, the little nerdy kid, I could immediately see me there, because I was a nerd as well, I wasn't the kind of boy who was very popular or used to have many friends; I used to enjoy Star Wars, Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, electronic devices, Rock music, etc; while the regular bullies from that era were used to go after hot chicks, I used to be ignored by the hotties. Except that I used to experience most of what I said in Brazilian Portuguese, but other than that, it's the eighties, likewise! I was the boy who struggles to get some attention and has a better relationship with his gobots than with his friends, who's constantly seeking advice from old people.
I hope that they can keep up with this show, this first episode was amazing! I can't wait to see the Goldberg's TV pop out some 80's references, like Family Ties with some cereal commercial with it, or maybe Ferris Bueller screening in the local theaters, some Nintendo, geez, I'm totally looking forward to this!
Great job guys! Great job!!
