Who Knew? Milhouse Van Houten Was Inspired From "The Wonder Years?" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Before growing up to graduate from Yale and become a lawyer, Josh Saviano stole our hearts as the lovably dorky Paul Pfeiffer. In addition to being Kevin Arnold’s trusty best friend, Paul Pfeiffer served as inspiration for the cartoon world’s beloved blue-haired Milhouse. They have the same hairstyle, the same outfits, the same impaired vision, and serve the same character purpose — to stand by Kevin Arnold’s and Bart Simpson’s respective sides through thick and thin.

Now that you mention it they do look a lot like. That is cool, I didn't know that. I use to watch the "The Wonder Years" occasionally when they had it on Nick@Nite and I remember Paul Paul Pfeiffer. Granted I didn't remember his name until you just said it but I do remember him hanging around Kevin a lot. Of course I am sure that Kevin doesn't take advantage of Paul the way Bart does to Milhouse...
