Whereas; if "the black Wonder Years" goes on for fewer seasons of fewer episodes than "the white Wonder Years" people would see that as racist for implying black people's stories are lesser. A 22 episode normal-length season and then a 10 episode summer season is completely unfair for one of ABC's best sitcoms. And also it's unfair to make loyal viewers of S1 all 2021 wait a couple years for 10 summer episodes and have that be how it ends.

Whereas; if it goes on it will start covering the 70s which is a really underexplored period in period pieces and given where this season finale leaves some of the characters there are some really interesting directions the plot could take them but would need a longer S3 to do so.

Whereas; for a period sitcom like it it's a breath of fresh air A. by being set in the 60s instead of the 80s like it seems a lot of the period sitcoms these days are (perhaps trying to ape The Goldbergs) and B. by having a smart young lead who (in addition to being black and thus able to serve as a role model for nerdy black boys everywhere) doesn't come with the annoyance and prequel-baggage Sheldon Cooper does on Young Sheldon.

Whereas; it can prove enlightening and educational for those who think the 60s was either metaphorically like the old Archie comics or some giant hippie flower-power lovefest and those who only know about black issues of that time from the broad strokes schools teach about the Civil Rights movement during Black history month and as I said before if allowed to go on can teach about the oft-ignored or dismissed as "disco decade" 70s. However it teaches those struggles and other sociopolitical ones too (and has especially branched out with this season showing everything from drag queens to teenage pregnancy) by showing people living them and not doing what Black-ish does when it gets particularly educational and hitting you over the head with them.

Whereas; Dean Williams is not only a revolutionary protagonist for being a young black nerd, but being a young black male in touch with his emotions who also has oft-feminine-coded interests like bodice-ripper romance novels or musical theater. Other protagonists on similar contemporaneous shows like Sheldon Cooper or Adam Goldberg sure are "geeky and relatable" but the non-narrator young them has a tendency to come off as insufferable and selfish yet still end up right. Dean's still allowed to make mistakes and have his emotions run wild but you can tell that the narrative isn't standing behind his choices and he's as often (subverting the aggressive black male stereotype) being the mediator when someone else is being a complete rear end, this shows kids like him their emotions are valid but that they can also be the peacemaker and learn from their mistakes.

Whereas; if despite having a similar protagonist and format its lead-in The Goldbergs was allowed to go on ten seasons while this new Wonder Years only lasts one season proper and one season-that-feels-like-a-add-on-because-it's-your-last-season season, that sends the message that painful stereotypes, crude humor and "let's make as many pop culture references to indicate what decade we're in as possible in case no one could figure it out" are more important than representation (of both minorities and their relevant political issues), good family dynamics and optimism

Therefore; ABC should renew the 2021 The Wonder Years for a third season and put it back on the normal fall-to-spring schedule. #RenewTheWonderYears #TheWonderYearsS3 #TheWonderYearsFullSeason
