The TV show is named after the band, The Wonder Years.[/PLOT][/SERIESWRAP][/SERIES]
The other day I was listening to the radio, and they were talking about The Wonder Years finally coming out on DVD. The reason it took so long is because all of the music from the show's original run cost a fortune to license for a DVD version. Even still, they were able to secure 96% of the shows original music, but the Netflix version is truely terrible. To counter the cost, they remade a lot of the the tracks or outright omitted them. They were joking about just how bad the new netflix wonder years sounded, compared to really watching the show on TV when it first aired in the late 80's, early 90's.
So I decided to download a torrent of all of the broadcast episodes. Never watched the full show before. I remember it being on all the time growing up, but even then, I didn't watch it "too" much. But at the same time, I liked the show. So this morning I decided to watch the first episode. It was good. Hits you right in the feels, watching Kevin say how he doesn't like Winny Cooper after his brother embarrasses him, but then goes to comfort her when he finds out her brother was killed in Vietnam.
I'll probably watch an episode a day for a while. Good stuff. Maybe I'll pick up the DVD at some point.
