NBC is working on updating The Wonder Years with a show called Lost in the ’80s according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The project, produced by Sony Pictures TV and studio-based Tantamount, is described as “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” meets “The Ice Storm.”
It is considered an ’80s version of “Wonder Years,” the half-hour dramedy set 20 years prior that tackled the social issues and historic events of the late ’60s through the eyes of teen Kevin Arnold (Fred Savage).
Unlike other remakes the show actually hired a writer from The Wonder Years who will hopefully keep the feel of the original. But even with that I still wish the networks would create original shows like the upcoming Fringe on Fox.
