Great story lines, and contrasted with Leave it to Beaver, you can't beat Wayne calling Kevin " Scrote" and " Butthead" and just generally harrassing him constantly.

When "The Wonder Years" was on, I remember I deduced from date references on the show that Fred Savage's character, Kevin was exactly my age at the same time I was. They even shot the last epsiode's parade in what is called, "Uptown" Whittier, the city where I grew up. I am 53 about to be 54 in a couple of weeks. I went to high school from '68 to '72. I remember thinking they really got the historical references about right. I loved that show, and I loved Winny. I still get a charge out of seeing Danica McKellar every once in awhile...though she isn't as "hot" (that sounds creepy, she was a little girl) as she was in the show.
