My view on The Wonder Years - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Belair · 03-29-2005, 11:11 PM

The Wonder Years truly was a great television sitcom in its time,and for those of us who still enjoy the re runs,it is still much loved today.Kevin Arnold was the typical all American teenage boy we all felt close to,even if he was just a character that doe eyed actor Fred Savage brought to life.We followed his daily trials and tribulations,using his experiences to reflect on our own.The sitcom's true to life story lines,comedy,drama and nostalgic tone contributed to the show's success and made watching it enjoyable.The Wonder Years could make you laugh,make you cry,make you remember what it was like to be 12 years old,and in love,as we fondly watched the relationship between Kevin and his dream girl Winnie Cooper,blossom,overcoming all the obstacles along the way.The closing dialogue of this magical sitcom will forever be remembered: Growing up happens in a heartbeat.One day you're in diapers,the next you're gone.But the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul.I have fond memories of the Wonder Years,and enjoy watching the re runs.Hopefully the complications will be overcome in the near future,and the magic of this memorable sitcom can be re lived on DVD.

I couldn't have summed the show up any better.

The trouble with TWY , for me was, once youve seen an ep the first time, the magic of the ending was over, forever...that is, it was so well written that, you couldnt recapture that magic moment in a rerun.... I still find that I cant rewatch an ep, UNLESS ive totally forgotten it in the first place

I haven't seen it for probably at least 5 years. I could watch them all over again. At least the first 3 seasons or so, they were the best. When I was in Canada I saw it was CTS, but I missed it!

I couldn't disagree any more. There are several episodes that I've watched more times than I can count.

Yeah I agree! I find that I learn a little bit more from re-watching an episode than I did when I first watched it. Its never lost its magic to me.

/Sniffle, Sniffle/ I couldn't have put it better myself. This show just struck a chord. I think there is always a part of us (well for me at least) that will always feel like a teenager. That's why this show resonated with audiences the way it did. I wish there were more shows like this one.

No, they did not... in the series finale (a two parter), the final scene shows Kevin and Winnie with Kevin's family watching a 4th of July parade... (adult) Kevin then reveals the fates of his family members, as well as Winnie...

Kevin reveals that Winnie when to France to study Art History, and that they wrote to each other every week for (I think) the next 8 years...when Winnie came back to the states, Kevin met her at the airport with his wife, and their 8 month old son... but the name of Kevin's wife was never mentioned.
