Crap TV Flashbacks: The Wonder Years
Comments(2)
A show with a theme song that is a remake of a Beatles song by Joe Cocker can’t be bad can it? Only if you like things that suck it can’t.
The Wonder Years ran for six seasons on ABC, from 1988 through 1993. It starred the forgettable Fred Savage, who literally has done nothing of note since he was on this show.
This kind of show is what you call one of those that doesn’t really have anything interesting going on, but does a lot of things that aesthetically make you somehow like it if you grew up in this era. It’s kind of a really terrible version of A Christmas Story going on over and over again every week. They take Vietnam, some Beatles tunes, and other current events of the time to cover up the fact that everyone on the show is a terrible actor, and that the story is retarded. Just read the plot of this show. Horrid. Thankfully it only lasted around 4-5 seasons, and if you were betting on its failure in at a hotels las vegas you probably lost your ass because the only bet you could have made was “canceled after the pilot”

All I can say is that little girl with the hat is the hottest character in the show. She’s reason enough to watch it.
