Isn't there one where he's in a wheelchair?  If so, that one should be on DVD.

Vice Versa, but the 2003 Freaky Friday is a remake a 70's Freaky Friday with Jodie Foster.

wonder years
was and is
the crowning achievement

perhaps it was because i was kevins same exact/approx age throughout the seasons.....and boy did i have by fair share of winnie coopers and becky slaters....

i was an only child tho...so no wayne...
and my dad dropped his fork when he got pissed too
and my mom buys my love with cooking...

maybe i am kevin...
but id never have tapped winnie in a horsebarn..no matter how hard it was raining....or even if it was my last episode

Something that always makes me laugh is the image of Kevin flinging a spoonful of mashed potatoes at Wayne's face. And then Wayne going, "Tonight... when you sleep...butthead."

wow.
thank you.
yes.
well done. snaps to you good sir.
i think this thread should become best quotes from wy


allow me to offerone:

*thunk!*
paul: WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZERRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


and waynes expression in the plastic red firemans hat

addon:

winnie: 'knock knock'
kevin: 'whos there'
winnie: 'sam and janet'

eyebrow raises, kevin smirks

kevin: 'sssssam and janet who?'
winnie: '*sings* samandjanet-ed evening'
kevinVO: '...some enchanted evening indeed winnie....and as we sat there on that porch swing....' etc etc

stupid winnie.

winnie cooper broke my heart on a weekly basis, (which i guess was good preparation for the real world).  whenever kevin would get other girlfriends (even when they were hotter) you still wanted him to get winnie, because she was the unattainable.

Graduated summa cum laude from UCLA with a BA in mathematics in June 1998.

Is very close to her "Wonder Years, The" (1988) co-star Fred Savage.

Had a 1998 paper published in Britain's "Journal of Physics A: Mathematics & General" with UCLA professor Lincoln Chayes and student Brandy Winn which provided a mathematical proof for a theorem dealing with magnetism in two dimensions.

Is fluent in French.

Was a member of the Alpha Chi chapter of Alpha Delta Pi sorority at UCLA.

This was an amazing show.  Countless times my family and I would watch this together... and everyone would be teary (well, my dad not so much).  Maybe that's why I loved this show... because Kevin's family was disfunctional... and so was mine... but at least we could all agree on this one tv show.

Anyways, I just wanted to tell everyone that my favorite episode ever was the one where Worm came back from Vietnam.  I recall him getting called "baby killer" and the very last scene is of him and Wayne hugging and sobbing.  

No other show captured a generation so clearly...  In my humble opinion.

Pure speculation, but I'm guessing that the music rights are a big hangup with this one. ... Vintage music was an integral part of almost every show, and if those rights have expired, it could be extremely costly to renew the rights, making a DVD prohibitive.

An unsavory alternative would be to use generic songs in place of the vintage songs used when the episodes were originally aired, but I'm guessing that would have many people throwing hissy-fits.

Post by: tpfkabi on March 28, 2004, 10:11:42 PM
yeah, you're probably right.
has there ever been a TV show that used so much pop music?
well, ............all of those WB shows use a lot of pop music and they all release season sets.......sooooo

i hate it when they change the music though......it's just not the same

I just got the whole series (all the seasons and episodes) off ebay. It's on about 12 discs. You can also get it here....

Those are the resources you'll have to use until they come out with an official dvd for stores (which may be never). It's such a great show. My favorite of all time.
