I'm glad to see The Wonder Years returning despite that I really don't care for the channel it's airing on. Hopefully, this time around ABC Family will air the classic show in episode order, unedited or "unbutchered", and without any splitscreens in the closing credits. If these "requirements" are not met - ABC Family will not re-gain my viewership and probably a handful of other people's viewerships.

By the way . . . how much longer does ABC Family have the rights to The Wonder Years?

When I went to the ABC Family website I was unable to find a feedback section for audience relations. Here is a snail mail address:

The ABC Family Channel
10960 Wilshire Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90024

Attn: Audience Relations

Their toll-free telephone is 1-877-98FAMILY, or 1-877-983-2649.

Remember, the more reaction they receive, the longer it's likely to stay on ABC Family!

I can't wait!

This is great news!!

theTHRILL · 09-22-2003, 12:57 PM

James, where did you get this information?

Brad Russ · 09-27-2003, 04:17 AM

Thanks for the info. Hopefully this time they'll play it long enough for me to get every episode taped.

Pavan · 10-28-2003, 11:19 PM

Starting December 1, ABC Family will replace The Wonder Years at 12 and 12:30pm with Full House.

Though two Christmas episodes will air on Sunday, December 7 at 2 and 2:30PM, part of ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas.

Brad Russ · 10-30-2003, 11:45 AM

That's too bad. I was kind of hoping they'd play every episode one time through one last time. But oh well. Atleast now I'll have 90 episodes taped as opposed to the 40 I had before. That should keep me occupied for awhile.

According to my calculations they will be in the middle of the second-to-last season (1991-92). The last good episode IMHO was #83 "Private B***head", where Wayne tries to join the Army. The scene at the end with Wayne and his father was very touching.

Sucks it was only on for like 2 months. I love Full House..but i mean its on 8 times a day already I think they could spare the Wonder Years one spot!

Thanks again for the info, Pavan! I'll be recording and keeping these episodes for sure, since the DVDs aren't being released anytime soon, if ever. No more taking this show for granted! Hopefully it'll air for longer than a month...we'll see.

James · 07-22-2004, 12:54 AM

Hooray for The Wonder Years coming back!!!

You can contact ABC Family with this form! Tell them it deserves better!

(BTW, the snail mail address earlier in the thread no longer works.)

Moonlit_Suburb · 07-22-2004, 10:18 PM

Yeah, James, now that I think of it, the show deserves much better than 2 eps a week!! Also, it'll be airing the same time as SNL, so this could be a problem for me.

Maybe I can tape SNL in another room. I hope ABC Family at least plays the whole series of Wonder Years so I can get it recorded. Fat chance, I know, but...why bother bringing it back for only 8 episodes? Leave it on, sheesh. The show is TOO GOOD to be shelved.

Play it 5 times a week. Even if they played the whole series at 2 eps a week...it'd take about 58 weeks to show every one! No way ABC Family would stick with that...???
