Don't get me wrong... I think the concept's okay. The ultimate in wish fulfillment sends a 34-year-old man in 2002 back in time to when he was 14- years-old in 1980. Okay... right off the bat there's a problem. It's a failure to do basic 9th~grade math. If Joel Larsen was 14 in 1980, then he'd be 36 today in 2002... not 34 (as stated in the pilot).
The biggest problem I have with the series is that this was my life. Insomuch, I'm 34-years-old (and 12 in 1980), and faced a lot of the same problems Joel faces in the series. Would I do it all over? Sure, if only to get better grades and go to college for a higher paying job, a better car, et al. instead of just blowing it off. Joel just seems to be wasting time whining about problems. Even the soundtrack reminds me of why I moved to Country in the first place.
I'll keep watching... but not for long.
