The Wonder Years - anyone remember it?

[lilibet]

I've heard dh talk about this series which he watched when it was on tv and how good it was. It's about to be released on dvd and I'm wondering about getting it for Christmas as a present for him.

Will he thank me or will it look and sound really dated? I never saw it as I didn't have a tv at the time.

TIA

it was set in the 50s ( I think) so will always be dated LOL

It was wonderful.................nostalgic sigh.........

oops have just checked wiki - was set in 60s and 70s

it's repeated at the moment can't remember which channel though. and the bloke in it isn't marilyn manson

But shoudl I buy it LGJ? Will it be as good as he remembers?

it was absolutely brilliant. if you can get a copy with the last ever episode, then do. not many people saw it, and it ties it all up brilliantly. getting those little tingles now just remembering

also, the soundtrack is grand for memory lane (of the the prog) too

and the guy playing Paul was not Marilyn Manson...
thought the first series were good, but when he got older he looked weird and pudgy and it all got a bit gross.

it's on one of the sky ones on a sunday I think, deffo reminds me of my childhood, was a fab show

lil, yep just as good watching re runs

Yes..........I would kiss you and cuddle you and call you George if you bought it for me.

i loved it too

It's on one of the satellite channels, I watched it yesterday. It took me back to watching it as a teenager.

ps - how lovely to be thinking of great and unexpected presents for loved ones...

If dh kisses and cuddles me and calls me George I will be very very worried

Oh, it was wonderful. And the last episode made me cry buckets! I saw the guy (eek! can't remember his name!) from it recently playing in celebrity poker tournament!

Kevin...of course! Yes, he does look very different.

here is his profile and photos

I've seen it recently on Paramount Comedy. Loved it when it was on originally.

Used to love it!

I also loved it when David Schwimmer was in it too. Probably only for a few episodes as Karen's boyfriend. Very funny seeing him as a hippy!

I used to really like that. So did my dad. It was one of the only american sit-coms that he could bear to watch. fabby!

He first met his wife, Jennifer Stone, where they were neighbors as children. Coincidently, he became famous for playing a character on "The Wonder Years" (1988) who has a childhood romance with his neighbor.

Proposed to his wife with a 5-carat sapphire ring from Neil Lane Jewelers.

Wedding took place at L'Orangerie restaurant in Los Angeles, California.

In lieu of wedding gifts, they requested that donations be made to Children's Hospital Cancer Center of Los Angeles, in memory of their childhood friend.

What a nice guy.

I remember seeing a programme about the actors and they did all seem very grounded. Apparently the Winnie character in real life was something of a maths whizz.
