My favorite show. The older you are when you rewatch it the more you take from it. Works on so many age levels. I grew up with these people. Glad to see the music is back.

Haha and Kevin gets a pass? What did she owe him, honestly?
Kevin didn't string Winnie along only to dump her ass.

Agree.
Forced my girlfriend to watch the entire series with me via Netflix. She is too young to remember it, but that finale will forever be etched into my brain.
Called up my Dad right after.

But then the soundtrack wouldn't be as good.
Day one, day fucking one. I was thinking about making a thread the other day about how much of a crime it is that this show isn't out on DVD.
I wonder if this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8m2YLEX6Qo scene will have the original song (unchained melody) although I think the one in this clip is a nice substitute.

Seems like a cool initiative to get fans involved with the release.

It has surprisingly a lot of original music. The theme song is different. The substitute music makes it obvious to what the original was like oh that was Jimi Hendrix there. Doesn't stop it from being great.
The Doors sound alike song had me laughing out loud because it seemed like a parody of the Doors which is fine by me because The Doors suck.
Oliva D'abo is so beautiful. I even love that Conan movie with her in it.

Great pic! Love this show so much. Karen and Winnie still looking good as ever
Haha, I love that picture! Damn it feels weird to see this, after all those years. They really, really nailed down the family dynamics in that show. Even if it happened in the '60. Kevin's brother is looking pimp as hell! And Winnie being all awkwardly sitting on Kevin's laps is hilarious.Another.
Everything about the show was so well done. I grew up with this show and like many people who watched it, went thru some of the same stuff that happened to Kevin. I loved how there was no happy endings most of the time.
Kevin's relationship with Winnie over the years changed so much, it felt so realistic. The final episode when they have a huge fight and end up stuck together into the barn because of the rain was awesome.

Most?
Fuck "most". Fuck "most" up its stupid ass.
Would rather watch bootleg VHS's, fuzzy picture and old commercials just enhances the nostalgia factor anyway.

I don't understand the need for something to be 100% pure to the original. I mean some alterations are stupid like what Lucas did to Star Wars but if a couple of mini-games are removed from some Japanese video games - who cares?
Some alterations are better than the original. The studio edited version of Donnie Darko is so much better than what the director actually wanted.
I loved this show as a kid. I watched it on Nick@Nite during elementary school (before I was the age of the kids on the show), and then again around 15 years later. Going back to it gave me so much nostalgia both from seeing it again, and from, at that point, actually being able to relate to a lot more of the situations. Pretty fun.

Happy to hear they're going to be doing their best to retain as much of the music as possible. It wouldn't be The Wonder Years without it.

Yeah, the music was a huge part of it. The use of Bob Seger's "We've Got Tonight" is one of my favorite uses of music in any television scene. Also, I'd be interested in seeing if Madelyn is still hot

Nope, webpage says they specifically got that!

It'll be random incidental music, and it'll drive fans (like all of us in here) crazy. Sigh. At least they're trying.
Watched it on netflix after it was added and I was glad how much music was still there. Though to have a physical copy with all of music there is a day 1 purchase. This show meant so much to my family, we loved and were just glued every week. It's still great, absolutely timeless.

She was like 14 in that.

I've still never seen the finale... I watched the show religiously throughout its entire run and for whatever reason wasn't home to see the last episode. I was crushed for YEARS. I recently signed up for Netflix so I guess I could rectify but I think I'll wait for this. It's somehow more nostalgic.

No you are thinking of Danica McKeller. Olivia was 20 when the Wonder Years started.

Like a lot of TV shows of its day, The Wonder Years was shot on film but edited on video.

Day 1 purchase
I picked up TWY soundtrack from Borders 10 years ago, such a nostalgia hit.

Madelyn was just okay. I think this is probably the hottest girl Kevin ever went for:
Ya know, looking back on it now, The Wonder Years was pretty impressive in how it managed to make you care about and root for Kevin and Winnie's series long relationship, while also having these one-off side adventures with Kevin and whatever pretty girl they managed to cast. You were always able to watch these episodes and wanted Kevin to get that kiss, even though it was going behind Winnie's back and Kevin probably should've felt a lot of guilt over it.

Alley Mills looking so fine
I don't know I was pretty over their relationship by the end. Besides, everyone knows Kevin should have ended up with Margaret Farquar.
A few brief glimpses at the cast reunion.
