Oftentimes a network would uplink a new show for the affiliates to watch and see what commercials they may wish to associate with it.

The show was well-written and acted and had enough humor and real-life situations to make it interesting. I went into work the next day and told coworkers about it. I was unable to tell the the name or network, but told them to watch for it.

As I know now, it was The Wonder Years about a teen growing up in the 60’s. It was nominated and won numerous awards.

If you get a chance to watch it again, you will enjoy the mostly simplier times.
