Who exactly is the "target audience" for a blacked Wonder Years?


Anyone who might enjoy it or give it a fair shake.

If it's written well, anyone can be the target audience.

If it's not...

This all day long. Writing is so important but casting is incredibly important too. They honestly go hand in hand and affect the writing. Just look at The Sopranos. Greatest show ever imo and while the writing was amazing, that show point blank period is NOT the same if they don't absolutely nail the casting and hit home runs with James Gandolfini, Edie Falco, and Dominic Chianese. They almost cast Tony Sirico as Uncle Junior and Ray Liotta as Tony Soprano. That show just wouldn't have been the same without Gandfolfini and Chianese. Same thing with probably my #2 best show ever in Breaking Bad. If they don't NAIL that casting with Bryan Cranston- that is not the same show. Not even close. Honestly the best acting I've ever seen was James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano, Al Pacino as Michael Corleone in GFII, and Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad. Probably in that order.

Having said that, there is a high probability this Wonder Years remake is going to suck. The original kind of sucked in my opinion. And this is not an opinion here: basically 90+% of remakes totally suck.

The thing about the Wonder Years was that it was 80% voice-over.  You don't SEE Daniel Stern if you're a fan of the show, but his voice is intertwined and helped make the show.

I'd be interested to see if it's the same way with the new one and the voice they choose.

Iirc, TWY debuted after SB XXII.  Wash v Den.  I mostly enjoyed the show, though could never get interested in the father's character.   Probably because I was 12 when the show started.

I think that being unable to relate to Kevin's dad, was an intentional part of the show.  Because Kevin himself didn't ever relate to his father all that well.  It was a bit of a commentary on the status of the nuclear family during the time period when the show was set.  Dad was aloof and gone and working most of the time, Mom was at home taking care of the kids and the family home.  

There were a couple of episodes when Kevin actually did have some moments with his dad, or FELT he had, and it made it all the more poignant.

That's my take anyway.  I loved that show.

Pretty much how I feel. I don't think the point of the show was to be able to relate to Kevin's dad, but to be able to relate to Kevin's relationship with his dad. We may not all have had a landmine in the house that we needed to tiptoe around, but maybe we had a friend with a dad like that or knew another adult we felt that way about. Anyway, I found that experience super relatable (and my dad wasn't a dick).
