Savage rewatched his iconic ABC comedy after agreeing to be part of ABC's Black-themed reboot. How much rewatching did he do? "Quite a bit, actually, and I was surprised at how poorly I remembered it. It’s true of all our memories: You remember what you want to remember," he tells The Hollywood Reporter. "We were working on these scripts, and there were these big fantasy pops, and I’m like, 'No, no, no, The Wonder Years is about honesty. It’s holding up a mirror to your experience and the world around you.' Then I went back and rewatched (the original), and, like, the third episode Kevin went to work with his dad and the entire second act was a fantasy. I got caught up in the mythology of this really ripped from the headlines, rip your heart out and show you the world, and that was certainly an element of it, but it wasn’t all of it. And by the way, it’s for the better of the show."

in fairness, Savage spent most of his time on the set harassing, degrading, and yelling at stage hands. Ask Savage about that, and it may jog his momory.

Most people don't humiliate and try to destroy others for 30+ years. Again it's such a letdown knowing now that Savage was a POS. I can't watch the show anymore. I'd like to reach through the TV and knock him out cold.

He has freely talked about this issue with the female stylist. He gave his side of the story and I found him credible. ABC was terrified of headlines or a lawsuit so if my memory is correct they paid her off. He was not known harassing or terrorizing anyone on the set. There was one woman stylist that made claims against him and the network for alleging allowing it to happen.
