‘The Wonder Years’ reboot: Same year, worlds apart from the original
ABC’s reboot of “The Wonder Years” offers an interesting, though not groundbreaking, alternative to its forerunner.It’s been 28 years since we watched Kevin Arnold (Fred Savage) come of age as a suburban, middle-class, whitebread teenager starting in 1968: love, loss, discovery, life lessons, the works — aided by his goofy best friend, Paul Pfeiffer (Josh Saviano) and his unrequited love, Winnie Cooper (Danica McKellar), with Daniel Stern providing the voiceover narration as an adult Kevin to as Kevin to put it all into 20/20 context. In this new version it is, once again, 1968.
