Reviews

WyteRabit I remember the first time I watched the Wonder Years. It was amazing. Chronologically, Kevin was 3 years older than I was and it seemed that every episode pulled out another piece of my life and put it up on that TV screen.Friends, family, love, laughter, life and just growing up and finding myself was an adventure. Watching Kevin grow up brought back so many memories, the Wonder Years will always have a special place in my heart. It's so sad that the storytellers today don't always have the heart that this show did. We could all learn a few lessons from this fantastic program.
JJ Fuentes I was born in 1980, so by 1988 I was still a little young (8yrs old) and not interested in TV other than cartoons. When I started watching this amazing show in the mid 90s (when the series was officially over but had reruns going nonstop) I was so taken by it. Not because it made me reflect on my childhood (because I was right smack in the middle of it) but because I had a big crush on Winnie and it was funny. It also gave me a little insight to suburb life which intrigued me because I was born & raised in Harlem, NYC.Fast forward 20yrs to present day. I'm now 31yrs old (OK OK, so I'm not an old man yet) and I find that Netflix has FINALLY released this fabulous series on Instant streaming. Understand that I had been looking for this series on DVD or other wise for some time (I don't have cable so I can't catch the reruns on TV), so I was overjoyed when I added it to my queue and started watching it a couple of days ago. It was every bit as great as I remembered it, PLUS MORE!!! NOW I was able to enjoy it because of how it cause me to reflect on my childhood. After moving from NYC to the suburbs in my early youth, I could relate to a lot of what Kevin Arnold went through and how the narrator (old Kevin Arnold) saw things through his own eyes. Let me tell you, this show made me cry when I was young because I was such a fan of the Winnie & Kevin relationship.... now this show made me cry again!! I'm only on season 3 right now, but every single episode has plucked on my heart strings and played a tune of love, laughter, loss, rebellion, reflection, failure and victory. I wasn't born and raised in the 60s, but this show makes me wish I was.I HIGHLY recommend this series to those raised in the pre-digital age, those who witnessed the birth of the digital age, and all those poor unlucky saps who were raised in the 80s and have not had the chance to watch it yet!!! Bonus: If you're a big movie & TV buff like me, you're gonna see a LOT of familiar faces when they were young! I've already seen a young Screech & Zack Morris from Saved By The Bell, a young Larenz Tate, and a couple of actors from some Christian videos I used to see when I was young (anyone remember Mcgee & Me??).
efrainerodriguez Having grown up in the 80's, The Wonder Years easily became my favorite show. I was 13 when it debuted, and it was amazing how I related to it (I think everybody could). I had a nerdy best friend (like Paul - even looked like him!) who I usually ended up sticking up for (I remember giving more than one beat down to people who picked on him when he wasn't watching). I even had a female close friend for all my high school and college years who I was madly in love with, but alas, to her I was never more than just a really good friend. But putting all that aside, the show itself was entertaining and educating. It helped me mature - which is something no TV show does nowadays (I'm so fed up with reality TV, I don't even watch network TV anymore).To this day, the finale is bittersweet, and for a very insensitive guy, it brings me to tears. To think that after everything they went through, while Winnie became his "first," they did not end up together - just broke my heart(no matter how real that was). The fate of Kevin's dad was sad too, though it seems everything else turned out fine.The Wonder Years isn't just 80's gold - it's TV gold. Not to sound like an old man, but they don't make TV that good anymore... A modern day reunion would be better than anything on TV nowadays. As for me - I lost touch with my female friend for many years - she lives in the states but went to Europe for awhile. We've gotten back in touch, and ironically enough, when she returns, I plan to greet her and introducing her to my 8 year old son and wife. One more lesson I learned from The Wonder Years - never underestimate the value of a good friend... And if being a really good friend to someone is as far as a relationship takes you - appreciate what you've got.
Bala Wonder years is a rarity among the modern day sitcoms. To be honest, i have never seen anything like this my whole life. It tells the story of young Kevin Arnold(Fred Savage) between the time he starts junior high and finishes high school. The whole series is presented to the viewer as a narration. Kevin lives in a quiet suburb with his family. His childhood sweetheart Winnie Cooper (Danica McKellar) and Paul Pfieffer(Josh Saviano) live next door, with whom he spends most of his time. This show made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me think about friendship and family bonding. It reminded me of my childhood and about the things which i did and did not. Altogether, a wonderful experience for the young and the old alike. I am sorry that this great show has not made a debut on DVD because of licensing issues. I hope some day the producers would release the DVD so that this dramatic gem is not lost in the tides of time. If you get an opportunity to watch a taped version, don't miss it...
