Oh, please. An adult voiceover does not The Wonder Years make.

No, the rest of the show does that.

I'll go further.

If you are enjoying The Goldbergs, you are wallowing in nostalgia and are officially an old **** living in the past; your next significant life event is death or nursing home (or both).

It is a regular sitcom at the shitty end of the scale.

I'm saying that nostalgia doesn't make a mediocre sitcom good just because its your nostalgia.

That is the subjective aim of any narrative. Relating to the story is what makes it 'good' to some and shit to others.

I did find the synopsis on IMDB for the Goldbergs wryly amusing though. "The 80's were his Wonder Years"

The weird thing is it isn't my nostalgia. I was the main character's age in the early 90s, not the early 80s.
