I only remember the last episode…
Honestly, the last episode was pretty nails.
Is this a series that can transcend time? I might watch it again.
Hmmm.. "transcend time" is a big statement. But the show does hold up pretty well because its a farily acurate historical document of a certian time, place, and people.

I like to watch now with my kids, now in MS and HS, and talk about how things were without cell phones, no cable, VCRs, and the events of the world, even though it is about 15 years before my time, yet there are certain emotions that the kids go through that are so relateable.


One of the best final episodes ever done.

We're in the middle of watching it with our 7th and 6th graders. They love it. The episodes are poignant.

What's crazy to me is how I always identified with Kevin (came out at the perfect time for me) but he really is a ***** at times. I wonder if that was by design or that Fred Savage had limited range.

The dad steals the show for me though. Absolutely classic role.

I'm a big fan of the Wonder Years, ever since I first saw it growing up in the 90s. Good memories watching with my dad. Can still remember him laughing so hard when Jack falls into the fishing hole as a prank.

Ive rewatched it a few times in the last 10-15 years and have always enjoyed it each time. Probably due for another rewatch now that I think of it. Something easy to wind down to before bed.

I will never get over Kevin making a pass at Topanga. Predator.
Just wait til you find out what he allegedly did in real life that got him kicked off The Wonder Years reboot as a director/exec producer.

It is a great rewatch with you kids, especially if you have a daughter or two. It is a very emotional driven series, and Fred's long eyelashes will get their attention.
But, it is a 1980's era sitcom prior to Seinfeld. Lots of "the more you know" kind of conclusions.

For me, I watched Stranger Things with my kids to teach them about my childhood. I think that Stranger Things captures the '80's well. Wonder Years was about the '70's.

And, I agree, one of the best final episodes ever done. No feel good Winnie and Kevin together forever aftermore. The feelings they had were real, but at some point, you have to grow up. But, it was worth it.
