I really wasn't planning on watching the new show, as I only watched the original show because of a lack of options at the time.
But I am a big fan of Dulé Hill from The West Wing and Psych. He also made HBO Max's Locked Down more watchable.
So as I was waiting for the new episode of Only Murders In The Building To Drop, I decided to try the new Wonder Years.
First, Hill isn't playing the same curmudgeon that Dan Lauria (Sullivan & Son) played. He's a musician who says, "Be Cool." And that montage absolutely works.
The kids stuff is a lot like the original Wonder Years or Everybody Hates Chris.
And then there's everything about the civil rights issues of that era and how they reverberate in our current era of out racists in powerful positions of influence.
The show is quite impressive.
And it's obvious why racists would hate the show. The people who are trying to ban the teaching of history in school. I'm sure this sticks in their craw, but they claim it's because it's a reboot.
