So why not remake The Jeffersons with an all white cast?
"The Jeffersons" is a surname referring to specific people.
The Wonder Years is a period piece about a separate family - they're not playing the same characters (the Arnolds).
It's just using the same title.
Nothing to do with wokeness here or diversity, just racists want to talk about it every time they see black people in a tv show.
There are two kinds of people who point this out: racists and those with legit literary critiques. The latter doesn't apply. They're separate characters.
If people watch the trailer and enjoy the jokes as they would naturally, they'd see that, but their mind is already made up before they watch it because they see black people and Wonder Years together.
Never lose your desire. -

Stop calling me a racist!!! Okay?
Stop it! I am not racist.
If the network doesn't want any confusion between this Wonder Years and the Wonder Years starring Fred Savage, then they should have renamed the damn show. But no! They didn't because they were trying to pull a bait n switch on viewers and transfer the nostalgia from the first Wonder Years show to this other Wonder Years. It's like a scammer trying to sell knock off designer products. -

Oh great another one of those shows. So it's not a comedy then. It's a political drama from a young black boy's point of view.
And you think this show is supposed to heal racial divide? Well anyway back then the presence of Latinos, Asians, other Africans, people from the Middle East weren't also living in the black community or even in the USA in large numbers. There wasn't a strong undocumented workers influence on culture and politics. -

From his perspective…
Then maybe the very last moment for the very last show as an adult he will be pulled over for no reason and the racist cop either shoots him or puts him in a choke hold and the screen fades to black from his POV as he dies.
Now that would be really heavy!
