ABC has ordered the pilot to a reboot of the 1990s comedy series The Wonder Years from Oscar-nominated power producer Lee Daniels, with the reimagined series to feature a black family living in 1960s Montgomery, Alabama.
The original series, which debuted in 1988, starred Fred Savage as the focal point of a coming-of-age story whose family lived in Montgomery, Alabama, during the 1960s and into the 70s. In 1989, Savage became the youngest actor ever nominated for an Emmy award for lead in a comedy series. During its 7-year run, the heartwarming series was nominated for 76 awards and won 22.
The series took on many tough topics. But its success came mainly from a fond memory of the era in which it was set. It is unclear how the show about a black family set in the south during the civil rights fights will land but it’s not unfamiliar territory for Daniels, who’s brought similar fare to the big and small screen with Monster’s Ball, The Butler, and Empire.

Not this again? Don't they have any history or plays themselves? We have a Black James Bond, black superman, black Santa Claus, Black sleeping beauty, Black snow white! Yes, a cartoon of black, Snow White. Then black cinderella,
Black DOROTHY in the WIZ.... We had Everybody LOVES RAYMOND. Then it was Everybody Hates Chris, a black show.
Don't we call this culture appropriation? If they don't copy our white heritage, they have none? Oh, we had little SAMBO, but that was supposed to be racist. I am sure there are other white shows, stories, made into black shows.
