Primary
The Wonder Years is rated 0 (Neutral/Centrist) because its central focus is on universal coming-of-age experiences and family life, using the politically charged late 1960s and early 1970s as a backdrop for personal stories rather than as a platform for explicit political commentary or ideological promotion.
The movie, interpreted as the 2021 reboot, demonstrates significant DEI through its explicit recasting of the central family with minority actors. Its narrative is deeply rooted in exploring the experiences of a Black family during the Civil Rights era, inherently critiquing traditional societal structures and making DEI themes central to its storytelling.
Secondary
The series portrays Christianity as a foundational element of suburban American life in the late 1960s, depicting its traditions, community values, and moral framework with a largely nostalgic and affirming tone, without significant critique of the faith itself.
Judaism is depicted positively through Kevin's best friend, Paul Pfeiffer, and his family. The show respectfully portrays Jewish traditions like Hanukkah, highlighting cultural diversity and the warmth of family life without negative stereotypes.
