progrush2112 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Does anyone remember this show?! One of the greatest sitcoms of our time ever to be put on the air. If you don't know The Wonder Years, here is an overview of the plot: The Wonder Years tackled the social issues and historic events of the 1960s and early 1970s through the eyes of main character Kevin Arnold, who also deals with teenage social issues (mainly with his best friend Paul, and his top love interest, Winnie Cooper), family trouble and other issues. While the stories unfold, the story is narrated by an older, wiser Kevin describing what is happening and what he has learned from his experiences. What happened to it? Can you still watch it on TV? Should the series be put out on DVD (I think so!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it premiered it's first season my senior year of high school (Fall '86) check out www.tvshowsondvd.com to see if it's available on DVD yet or if they've mentioned a possible release date.

Arndrake Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I remember that show too. I seem to remember it started as a mid season replacement series late winter of '88. One of the things I remember was the promos they showed during the '88 Winter Olympics, which addressed memories of the '68 Winter Olympics; Kevin's father watching Jean Claude Killey and Kevin lusting after Peggy Fleming. Then the first couple of shows I saw were great. Winnie as a figurative crysalis, Kevin and Winnie's first kiss. Kevin going to work with his father and getting a new appreciation for him. I never got to see much of it after I graduated high school that same year as I went in the Navy right after and never watched much TV until summer of '90 (training took a lot of time and energy). I do remember seeing reruns afterward and found the show really good. What still amazes me is that the narrator or 'Adult Kevin' was Daniel Stern (from Home Alone 1 & 2). The voice doesn't quite sound the same, but apparently it's him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 in los angeles there's kind of an unwritten rule that if you see celebrities (which if you hang out in l.a. long enough, you WILL see them), you don't bother them. well, one day a few years ago when i was shopping at a health food store in santa monica (right next to los angeles and on the ocean), i saw this woman shopping and she looked SO familiar. i thought i knew her from my past, but couldn't remember from when or where. i went up to her and said, "excuse me, do i know you, you look really familiar?" she looked kind of embarassed and said, "oh, well, I was on t.v. for awhile." Suddenly I realized that I HAD seen her on tv and didn't really know her like I had initially thought I had. i apologized and quickly slinked away, realizing as I did that she was the actress who played Winnie Cooper on The Wonder Years!

Modest Man From Mandrake Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 I remember thinking how hot Whinny was back then. I saw her a couple of years ago on a Celebrity Weakest Link. She's not to hot anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyBlaze Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 My memory banks tell me that the older bro played Rodney Dangerfield's character (Thornton Melon) as a kid in Back to School. And the sister played the princess in Conan the Destroyer. I really liked the episode where Kevin bought a guitar and joined a rock band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
