|Although traditional family values churn at the core, ''The Wonder Years'' has a politically liberal, specifically antiwar undertone. Arnold family patriarch Jack Arnold, is a veteran of the [[Korean War]], but the second season episode "Walkout" has Jack's son Kevin Arnold and other students walk out of school to protest the ongoing [[Vietnam War]]. The only person who tries to stop it is the school's vice-principal, who is depicted as the episode's "villain" as he threatens to suspend any participants in the walkout and put those suspensions on their permanent records. The series makes other jabs at the war, such as characters (like Kevin's rebellious teenage hippie sister Karen) going to vigils and displaying the peace sign.

|This prequel series to ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'' follows the character Sheldon Cooper (one of the most outspoken [[atheist]]s in sitcom history to the point where it creates religious and cultural friction with those around him, which is passed off as humorous) as he grows up in [[Texas]] from 1989 on.<ref>https://www.cbs.com/shows/young-sheldon/</ref> As in ''The Big Bang Theory'', Sheldon is a strong proponent of [[evolution]] who looks down his nose on [[creationist]]s and [[Christian]]s, thinking they are not as open-minded as they truly are. In an early episode, the young Sheldon publicly embarrasses his family by arguing with their church's pastor about [[God]]'s existence during a sermon, claiming that Charles Darwin was open to the idea of God (in reality, Darwin's claim that he was open to the idea of a Creator was simply a plan to fool the masses when pushing evolution).<ref>https://www.christiantoday.com/article/young-sheldon-challenges-a-pastor-on-the-existence-of-god-during-hit-tv-show-did-the-pastor-win/118686.htm</ref><ref>https://www.worldreligionnews.com/religion-news/christianity/episode-young-sheldon-wanting-destroy-pastor-strikes-nerve-church-shooting</ref>
