What is your all-time favorite episode of The Wonder Years and why?

[GilliganLuver1964]

my favorite episode is the one where kevin goes to work with is father it was so cute!

My all time favorite episode is the one where Mr. Belvedere drives off in a Porshe in search for Wesley when he meets an accident. He gets hospitalized and falls into a coma. He then gets to see what the Owens would be like without him. The episode with the best bit of acting from Brice Beckham, and Christopher Hewett as well.


I mean, why didn't Kevin go for Madeline? Winnie was a small breasted bitch, and Madeline was some prime ***** willing to give it up.

My favorite episode was the one called Denial
where kevin and winnie broke up but kevin wouldn't accept the fact that it was over and
said some horrible things to her at Paul's party while "You Are Everything" played in the background. It was so sweet when he cried on his father's shoulders.
Also, I really liked the one where Kevin was delivering Chinese food. It was hilarious, especially when he was lip syncing to "Bobby's Girl" abd his encounters with the pizza boy.

One of my favorite episodes of The Wonder Years is the one where it is Jack's birthday
and the whole family, including Karen and her
live-in boyfriend, Michael (David Schwimmer)
all go out to dinner. Jack's behavior in this episode is classic. So is the line that Wayne delivers when he is shaking Michael's hand: "So, you're the guy who sleeps with my sister!" Thank goodness Nick-at-Nite has a little decency to air this fabulous program weekdays at 5:30 in the morning if at no other time. I was heartbroken when the show got axed from ABC's primetime line-up!

My fave would have to be the one where Winnie moves away, it manages to be sad while still being soo sweet.

Ketamine you make no sense. First you started talking about the wrong show, Mr. Belvedere - what was that all about? And then you said the most crude thing about adolescent Kevin and Winnie and Madeline!!! You're one sick pervert man.

I have 3 favorites. Where Kevin goes to work with his dad. When he meets that girl at the beach. And the one where they get a new car.

Mine has got to be the episode where the maths teacher Mr Collins dies, I had a tear in my eye. I found it really nice when Mr Collins scraped his last one so he could redo it. He had the strengh then to get his target of an A. I'll write up that episode just incase you don't know it!!!

See Ya

What a tough question! For quite a while, my favorite episode was the one I believe entitled "Courage," about Kevin's dental
hygienist Miss Hassenfuss. I don't know -- there's something about the wording of the narrative in that one that has always
gotten to me. And, the scene on the couch where Kevin's father talks about dodging bullets in combat in Korea (or wherever),
but the only thing that ever *really* scared the pants off him was -- the dentist. Too funny!
I also love the final Mr. Collins episode -- the one in which he dies . . .
the one in which Kevin's father takes him to work with him . . .
the one in which Kevin finds out that wacky and unfeeling Coach Cutlip is secretly working as a department store Santa . . .
the one in which "Harper's Woods" was leveled for the purpose of building a new shopping center . . .
the one in which Kevin takes Paul's sister to her cotillion . . .
the one in which Winnie moves away . . .
the one in which Kevin & Wayne fight over Karen's vacant bedroom . . .
the one in which Paul tries out for (and makes) the school basketball team . . . and the one in which Winnie acts in, and
Kevin works the spotlight for, the school play ("Our Town").

I love all of the above and, of course many others.

"Good night, Miss Hassenfuss . . . wherever you are."

yeah that dentist one was good,i remember kevin having a crush on miss hassenfuss,the assistant,but also having fear of getting dental work done,so he asks the dentist outside his office if he could have a different assistant there,then she comes up behind them while they are talking,and kevin gives that slow embarrassed turn to her,and he runs off on his bike feeling about 3 inches tall;classic tearjerker scene that wonder years did so well

TC,
Miss Hasenfuss meant so much to Kevin that, although he was so terrified of the dentist, his biggest fear *really* was looking scared in front of her. He had deluded himself into believing that she truly admired him for his courage. (I can sort of identify with that 'cause, when I was almost six years old, I fractured my leg in front of the little girls who lived next-door to me and who thought I was too tough to cry. As much as it hurt, I refused to cry in front of them.)

When Kevin asked Dr. Tucker to use an assistant other than Miss Hasenfuss and, then he turned around to find her standing there, he felt that he had hurt her feelings. (It must have appeared to her, ironically, that he didn't want her to assist with his filling because he disliked her, or something -- the exact opposite was true.) It seemed to me such a touching gesture for him ultimately to ask her to assist. It turned out to be a farewell gesture.

And, I found it so sad that Miss Hasenfuss had meant so much to Kevin, and he never saw her again . . . and that the filling, naturally, could not have meant as much to her as it did to him. And, he never ever forgot her.

My favorite episodes are the following:

#23 "How I'm Spending My Summer Vacation" - I enjoyed the cookout plot

#43 "Goodbye" - excellent portrayal of how Kevin's attitude toward Mr. Collins changed following his death

#47 "Growing Up." - it explores how the characters deal with change, mostly in dramatic fashion

#57 "Heartbreak" - Winnie's break-up with Kevin was a major tearjerker

#58 "Denial" - conclusion to #57

#75 "Triangle" - Wayne's girlfriend actually likes Kevin more--it was cool seeing Kevin and Wayne so close to each other at the end!

#83 "Private Butthead" - cool scene with Wayne crying in Jack's arms towards the end

One of the best episodes is when "The Rolling Stones" were suppose to appear at "Joe's Place". Also I really like the episode when Kevin goes for the drivers test to get his License.
