    The wonder years covered the life of a young boy growing up in a lovely leafy suburb in America.With every episode covering a real life situation that many of us face, you couldn't help but be attached.Young Kevin Arnolds life is covered from a small boy growing into a teenager, almost a young man.With topics covering major world wide incidents and trends the series last six years but covers more like 15 years. With great soundtracks played throughout with leaving no doubt what era the Arnold's are living in. With love, girlfriends, brothers and sisters, school and friends and family you will relate.I watched this every week without fail, I'm yet to see another show that would cover all these growing pain issues and more. Classic writing and acting.A real shame it was never released on DVD due to the high costs of the music royalties.

    For my money, Fred Savage (Arnold) was by far the best child actor of TV. While there were many great child actors and many who came close, Savage's expressions were the best I ever saw for a kid age 12-17. His signature one-eye brow raise, his mouth and eye movements and his ability to wear his emotions and feelings on his face were nothing short of remarkable. His cute good looks and expressive eyes did a lot to help that as well. The other enjoyable part of this show was how the narrator sounded perfect as a grown up Arnold and when Savage spoke right after the narrator, it seemed to fit so well. Many of the episodes I truly relate to as in the show, Arnold was born in 1956, same year as my older brother. I was born in 1959. The styles, the house, the home furnishings, the cars and the events so paralleled my own suburban life in NJ, not far from NYC.

    "The Wonder Years," even though the show was a period piece, it still seems like the events it portrayed weren't that long ago and still have some relevance today. I was born in 1985, so I wasn't alive when Kevin Arnold (Fred Savage) came of age during the turbulent 1960s and 1970s in the United States, as was portrayed in the show and whose thoughts were narrated by Daniel Stern. He was one of the most likable television characters of my formative years. The life lessons, the romance, the conflicts with friends and family alike, and the pains of adolescence and growing up still resonate nearly two decades later after this show's successful run on television with today's audiences. Why this show hasn't gotten a DVD treatment, I'll never know. I just know that for several years this was truly one of the best shows in the history of American television.10/10

    Without any fear...I can say: The Wonder Years is the one series I am happy most about! I was born in 1984 and still i didn't grow up in 1968th...it's the best series ever made because it remembers us of how it was to grow up...it remembers us what our best friends were then and today...and it remembers us also why the family is so important even if it's hard as hell! :-)I first saw the show I was at the age of 7 or 8 and that means even after over 20 years there was a reason to identify yourself with the series.There is so much you can learn: I myself have a brother who is 5 years older than I am...I understand Kevin!! :-) And even you have nothing comparable...there are still your parents who grown up with Joe Cocker, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Supertramp and others. And because of this there are so much reasons boosted back in the first 70thies! And after tonight, after I watched the whole Biography there is no doubt I will never forget this series!!! It is also the best thing they never made Kevin and Winnie do it! That is the magic of everybody's minds! I still hear Joe Cocker right now: Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends! :-)TWY forever!!!
