Did you know they were rebooting the “Wonder Years?”

Yup, it’s true!  I didn’t even know they were going to do that…but then again, Hollywood doesn’t have any new ideas.  It’s just a bunch of super hero movies or a bunch of “reboots, re-imagine or sequels”

But yes, back to The Wonder Years…I guess it was just a matter of time before Hollywood set their sights on this one.

ABC is the network responsible for the reboot of The Wonder Years.  The network has cast its lead character, EJ Williams.  EJ will play the central role in the pilot, which is set in the same time 1960s time period as the original series airing from 88-93.  This reboot centers on a family in Montgomery, Alabama.

Fred Savage, who played Kevin, the lead role in the original Wonder Years is directing the pilot for the new show.
