No Season 3 for the reimagined comedy.
September 15, 2023
It is being reported that ABC has cancelled The Wonder Years after two seasons. The news comes a month after the reimagined coming-of-age comedy wrapped its shortened sophomore run, which at 10 episodes was less than half the length of its first season.
After ranking as one of the network's top comedies of the season in 2021, the half-hour series struggled in Season 2. It is currently ABC's lowest-rated show of the summer despite continued positive reviews from critics and viewers.
Inspired by the 1988 series of the same name, The Wonder Years takes a look back in time at a Black middle-class family in 1960s Montgomery, Alabama, from the point of view of an imaginative 12-year-old named Dean. Narrated by his grown-up self with the wisdom of his adult years, Dean reflects on some of the best years of his life with his family during a turbulent time.

Real question, no snark. Can someone who thinks this show was "woke" explain what made it woke? I see this word used a lot on the board and 99% of the shows I never watched. This one I did and I am just very curious.

Wow, no way...unnecessary reboots of shows that were actually good aren't monetarily successful? At a certain point, virtue signalling needs to have dollars attached, or even the snowiest of flakes will bail.

ABC threw away season 2 in the summer. Not suprised
Thank you Paul Chan and Stan for recommending this show. If you misread their code word it means "This show has good values that help the world" it is the highest recommendation you can give on this site.

1st episode huge rating
All see its woke
2nd episode huge rating drop
Season had decent ratings but low enough to cancel it.
But they couldn't get called by the libs for canceling so they renew with 10 lame episodes
What a joke right..
Then.the strike happens and you see the networks dumping bad rating shows, over priced shows, and many woke shows.

@Satan I swear you types only know one word now, and you don’t even know it’s meaning. Buy a dictionary, get a hobby, and keep your idiocy to yourself.

I really thought season one was tepid and I was kind of surprised to see a season two. But, season two was so much better than the first. Maybe it was because Dean was older now and the stories were less childish and much funnier. However, I'm not surprised that it has been cancelled.

I do not watch anything on ABC, except Pyramid and Celebrity Family Fued/Wheel of Fortune. ABC is owned by Disney. They only care about money, money, money, money. MONEY!
