⭐ Featured Review

A rarity amongst TV sitcoms
by mermatt β€’ 1999-12-06

"This show has an engaging cast with stories set in the 1960s that involved down-to-earth, realistic plots. That's the real wonder of THE WONDER YEARS. It is far superior to most sitcoms because it isn't really a sitcom -- in other words it isn't based on silly situations and lame-brained characters. The show is about growing up and the discovery of human nature. The writing has a depth unlike that of most TV shows. The humor is genuine, not based on typical TV contrived situations and shallow clowning. This is destined to be one of the classics of TV series...."

πŸ’‘ Did You Know?

One major part of the show's running storyline is a falling-out between Kevin and Winnie, who becomes a background character for several months until she and Kevin reconcile. The primary reason for this part of the storyline was that actress Danica McKellar had a growth spurt, and she and star Fred Savage, already shorter than McKellar, didn't look right standing together. The characters reconciled after Savage began to catch up in height.
