The Wonder Years (1988–1993)
9/10
Just a wonderful light hearted family themed TV series with some good and timely messages
16 January 2024
Let's start with the actor and adult Daniel Stern who narrates young Kevin Arnold's history growing up in the Arnold family household. Kevin's family life is most like many North American children growing up in the late 1960s and early '70s through the eyes of a very gullible then increasingly less innocent Kevin Arnold.

Daniel Stern who plays the unseen adult version of Kevin while narrating Kevin's every emotion that Kevin goes through living with his gruff and tough father Jack Arnold (Dan Lauria), his sweetheart and caring mother Norma (Alley Mills), and of course Kevin's family life would not be complete if he wasn't constantly being harrassed and embarrassed by his big brother Wayne (Jason Hervey).

Each episode that Daniel Stern narrates tells us of a situation that Kevin, his family, and/or his friends get themselves into while Kevin himself is growing through puberty and his first female crushes both the adult and the normal teenage crushes.

The Wonder Years is a simple blend of historical and political situations and opinions in which Kevin's feelings are continually tested by everyone who enters his life both at home and in his classroom and neighbourhood.

If you grew up in the 1960's and 1970's which I did it most likely will bring back some long forgotten typical teenage angst and also some fond memories and music of the 1960's and 1970's. I rate the series a well deserved 9 out of 10 IMDb rating.
