Pros: excellent cast, very funny and philosophical, outstanding writing and music, poetic voice-overs
Cons: deeply melancholy

Pros: Poignant, powerful, sweet and wonderful.
Cons: Last episode was a cop out. Where's the reunion show?
Summary: First off, thank God that ION television has begun rebroadcasting the Wonder Years. I hadn't seen the show in years and it's like an old friend walked in the room, sat down and started talking to you again. This show mirrored my own 'wonder years", ... read more

Pros: Wonderfully acted and very perceptive
Cons: The father scared me sometimes hehe
Summary: I've seen many sitcoms over the years but this one just has to be the best. It's part comedy and part drama. There are many funny parts in it and unlike other sitcoms, the funny parts arent interrupted by laugh tracks. This show knows its good enough and ... read more

Pros: It's brilliant but also simple, easy to relate to
Cons: Can't think of any
Summary: Lots of shows come and go each year. Every once in a while, one comes along and just catches you. Wonder Years was like that for me. And since it has earned a spot in the line-up of Nick At Nite, it's obvious that it had the same effect on many others. ... read more

Pros: family show, not corny like The Brady Bunch, more real-life
Cons: reruns, too bad they grew up
Summary: The Wonder Years is a great show for the kids and family to watch together. It teaches kids the morals and stages of life but not in the cheesy Brady Bunch way. Its more real-life, I mean we all talk to ourselves don't we. It teaches kids that its okay ... read more

Pros: Nice humble show.
Cons: Only reruns now.
Summary: I've watched this show since the 80's. When I was younger I thought that was how "normal" families where. Simple problems that seem so big, but always had a lesson in them.
I have enjoyed watching them all grow up into adults over ... read more

Pros: A great and fun way to learn about society
Cons: None
Summary: Growing up I never liked The Wonder Years. It was too "not my type" at the time. Now that I am a mom I can only thank the people who created this show. The plots as well as the meanings of the shows are wonderful and I would have no problem ... read more

Pros: Excellent show
Cons: ...
Summary: Can a show take you back in time? Happy Days tried to ... but it was not a realistic past. Old westerns made the 1800s much more glorious than they actually were. Now that I really think about it, the most accurate portrayal of any time in history ... read more

Pros: a great show for all ages
Cons: why did it have to end!
Summary: Who hasn't seen an episode of the Wonder Years? I practically grew up with Kevin, Paul, Winnie, and Wayne. I laughed when Wayne and Kevin would beat each other up. Now that's brotherly love. I cried through the Kevin and Winnie saga. I didn't know if ... read more

Pros: No bad words or naked bodies
Cons: no new episodes
Summary: I used to watch The Wonder Years when I was a kid and I still watch it now. I remember when you could watch t.v. and never hear anyone curse or God forbid ever see any naked body parts and if you did it was only on premium channels. Now, you can't watch ... read more

Pros: True situations about real live
Cons: Everything gets wrapped up in 30 minutes

Pros: writing, acting
Cons: none, this is a great show
Summary: This show is one of the few on television that I have really been able to relate to. The main reason being that I grew up in the period that this show based. I had a dad who was high strung and not hip to what was happening in the world with kids. ... read more

Cons: A little slow moving and dry sometimes.
Summary: I am a big fan of The Wonder Years. I caught it the first couple of times it came on and have been a watcher ever since. This show had so much going for it that most shows at that time just couldn't compete with.

Cons: none-a brilliant show
Summary: I am 23 years old. When kids in my generation think of the late 60's and early 70's, we primarily imagine Vietnam War protests, flower children sitting around a little dazed, and all that crazy stuff. The wonderful thing about the Wonder Years is that ... read more
