[El Bombi]

This show is guarantee to have a gay black male and a black woman in an interracial relationship.

I saw "Lee Daniels" in the title and the thread went exactly as expected

 

[Michael's Black Son]

-Winnie Cooper will be trans

-Kevin’s dad will be a major homophobe who is really on the DL

-the older brother will try to enlist in the army because he thinks it will “straighten” out his homo tendencies but instead gets his legs blown off in Vietnam. Then he comes back bitter at gay men.

-the mother will slowly start to “explore” free love of the 60s, eat some twat once and go into therapy because she feels guilty about betraying her family even tho no one knows

-Paul will use his smarts to make homemade date rape drugs since that the only way he can get p*ssy

-Kevin will be a super simp and flat out oblivious to the fukkery going on with the people around him.

What they see; More symbols, please

Naw, let it be made, let black actors get paid, let the show fail if it sucks due to pandering and let the studios learn the hard way (if it does indeed end up pandering)

[Lootha VanDraws]

They're about to suck all the wonderfulness

out of the wonder years nh.

In more ways than one

 

[DrexlersFade]

Why does the show have to have a black cast?

Can't this Willie Wonka muthafukka produce asl show with a cracka cast.

 

[Originalman]

It's a GOAT level song. (wonder years theme/Joe Cocker's version of "with my friends")

shyt damn near gave me a religious experience first time I heard it as a kid.


edit: favorite themes are cheers, "Angela's Theme" from Taxi and "Without Us" from Family Ties, by Johnny Mathis and Niecey Williams

Yeah Taxi theme was the shyt. Loved welcome back Kotter theme and WKRP, Barney Miller and Magnum PI themes too.

They had great themes for shows in the 70s, 80s and 90s. The show themes now are trash.

We had it already it was called Everbody Hates Chris

[Originalman]

Messed up part was the wonder years was an educational family show. Where parents could sit down with their kids and watch it.

Lee Daniels makes sick adult theme shows with lots of over the top sex and adult themes.

And ABC isn't like the ABC in the past. ABC has totally doubled down on shock value and adult themes. So we have Lee Daniels making a supposedly family show for ABC. This is not a good look snd IMO just poison being targetted at young easily influenced minds.

Lee Daniels? Messing with a classic like Wonder Years? Nah. One star for even posting this BS.
