Gill, John Freeman. "Wonder Years, by Way of Bed-Stuy", The New York Times, December 4, 2005. Accessed January 13, 2020. "This fall, with the new hit UPN television show Everybody Hates Chris, the country is finally seeing a representation of Bed-Stuy shaped by one of its own: Chris Rock, the show's co-creator and narrator, on whose Decatur Street childhood the program is loosely based. Set in Bed-Stuy in 1982, Everybody Hates Chris is a nostalgic, warmly illuminated take on the Rock family's tough working-class life in the predominantly black neighborhood."
