The Wonder Years

edited February 2008 in All Encompassing Trip
One of the greatest tv shows period. I remember watching the show as a kid. Some of the episodes still give me pause and chills, bring tears to my eyes, a knot in my throat.

Something about it, the humor, the monolougue that took place in kevin's head, the poignant lessons and morals.

special show thats for sure.

only show with the same emotional intensity would be scrubs.

wonder years changed my life.

    Nothing like Cocker kicking in to start the show every week! Not to mention my adolescent years being that much more enjoyable thanks to a certain Winnie Cooper!

    That would be her. I was at Barnes and Noble the other day and noticed she wrote a math book. I couldn't give two shits about her math book, but I still almost bought it! ;)

    :eek: I have a new appreciation for Winnie! Seriously though, I loved that show too. Something about the narrative added to it. Do they play reruns anywhere?

    Is it me or is something just a little off about Winnie? Is her head too big or something? Why can't I get passed this! I think she may qualify as a butter face.

    Either way, The Wonder Years is a great show, and for some reason it's not on TV anymore. When it used to be on more than Seinfeld or Family Guy. Odd.

    The Wonder Years was amazing.It was repeated here recently.Years later it could still make me cry with a lump in my throat.Seeing the final episode again broke my heart.Wonder whatever happened to the cast,except Winnie :0 and David Swimmer splt?,who played Karens stoner boyfriend David.

    they're having problems getting the rights to use all of the original music in dvd's. one of the options they are weighing is to replace it, which i give a big thumbs down to....just wouldn't be the same without the perfect soundtrack that it has.

    i love love LOVE this show! definitely one of my favorites of all time. they replayed it here a few months back and i dvr'ed it all. and it's still as good watching now as it was when i was growing up.

    Damn, Winnie's fine and smart! And I still feel bad about looking at her underwear pics. It's kinda hard not to think of her as little Winnie. :o
