an endless overt parade of 60s anachronisms to overwhelm and distract you from the fact that the show isn't very interesting or well written. Once you strip away the smoking, the smoking doctors, the smoking misconceptions, the quaint degradation of women, the shunning of negros, and the "hi tech" rotary phone/electric typewriter/switchboard

Do you think those are anachronisms? I gave an example of a very concrete anachronism, and I thought you might go off on their anachronistic use of fonts, but instead it seems like you're just annoyed about it being set in the 60's and I suspect you don't know the meaning of the word "anachronism".

Regardless, how upset did you get about The Wonder Years?

it's a show about a guy worried over his job and having an affair. So what?

I wish Mad Men was more like this, unfortunately it often isn't.
