I loved watching the original back then.

I was thinking maybe it should be set to the same interval prior to the current times as the original. I was thinking maybe it should be set in the 80s but then I looked it up and did the math.

as a middle-class suburban teenager growing up during the late 1960s and early '70s.

Being in the late 80s and early 90s, the original was based on a time 20 years prior. So the new one would be set in the year 2000.

I'm sure you don't mean that the way it came out.

I don't see what the problem is. Look at what they did with One Day At A Time. They redid it using a Cuban-American family and I think they did it VERY well. In fact, in many ways I like the newer version better. (Well, it does have Rita Moreno so that is definitely a major bonus.)

As for Wonder Years, I am willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. It could be OUTSTANDING or it could be a total dud-all depends on the writing, acting, etc. I just hope that they don't recycle the old scripts. I think if they just recycle the old scripts, it will be a total dud.

Sorry if it came out the way you thought I do apologize but I'll give it a shot like I gave The all new One Day At A Time at first, some reboots I hated at first but then I warmed up to it later on.

I just checked it’s set in the same time period as the original(Late 60s). Except this time it’s with a Black family

I wish they kept the interval and set it in the Late 90s/Early 2000s.  :-[ kinda bummed they didn’t go in that direction

It's good to something from 1988 coming back. I've been nostalgic for that year lately.

Just show the old episodes again?


Are they shown anywhere?  ???

The new One Day At A Time had a daughter who was a lesbian and the original from 1979-1984 never had daughters who were lesbians, the new one gave me mixed feelings.

Time Life released a DVD box set in 2014 (and cheaper season sets) after managing to clear virtually every song the show ever used.

Yep. We're that old.

Actually, a show about going from the Bush years to the Obama years could be interesting.

Will Joe Cocker sing the original for the new reboot?  ???

Joe bit it six years ago. Time to mix things up, maybe with a cover version by Snoop Dogg or Eminem.
