Teen Wolf had a winning formula, then the writers just said "Fvck it"... -em

someone should have told the Charmed writers that, they might have saved money every season instead of spending it on actors and sets, etc that they would abandon 5 episodes later

This week, we’ll be continuing out First Impressions season with a discussion on the reboot of the iconic 80s and 90s coming-of-age series, The Wonder Years! The Wonder Years was one of the most iconic shows for younger GenX and older Millenials, a series where, through the eyes of an initially 12 year old, middle-class suburban white boy, we get a glimpse at life growing up in the late 60s and early 70s. This risky reboot does the exact same thing… with a protagonist growing up in Montgomery, Alabama. The Wonder Years doesn’t just deal with the typical issues of a pre-teen boy, but the greater issues of a highly segregated America. So is the bold new, melanated series any good? Is The Wonder Years worth watching? Stay tuned!

Roswell is a sci-fi drama about teenage aliens struggling to fit in, navigate relationships, and stay alive was one of the hottest shows on TV back when it aired.

And left an indelible impression so great that it was rebooted 17 years after its finale. So how do we think the original Roswell has aged in the last 18 years? And what can we take away from the series? Stay tuned!
