ABC made a huge mistake today. They cancelled The Wonder Years, which is their best show.
The show was a spinoff of the original ’80s series, and it was so much better. They did not shy away from tackling the hard subjects of the late ’60s and making them relatable for today’s viewers.
The writing and acting by Elisha “EJ” Williams, Dulé Hill, Saycon Sengbloh, and Laura Kariuki was top-notch.
I cannot say enough positive things about the show. So watch it on ABC.com and the Hulu app, and find out about the joy you were missing.
And ABC’s missed opportunity. They never knew how to market it. And that is why it was their lowest-rated original program, according to Deadline.
UPDATE: Dulé Hill responded to The Wonder Years’ cancellation in a way his character would’ve responded. “Be cool…. when chapter ends, another begins. Congrats to Saladin Patterson, this talented cast and our amazing crew on bringing this beautiful story to our TV screens for the last two seasons, he wrote. “I had hoped to share this story a little bit longer but that’s how it goes sometimes in this thing called show business. Grateful. What’s next? #TheWonderYears ✌”

the Wonder Years remake is good but it’s not ABC’s “best show”. Abbott Elementary is their best show.
