Missing are the full cast reunion, 5 featurettes, 17 interviews and the pilot episode outtakes of the first kiss.

Going through the complete series of 115 episodes is quite a trip, as we see roughly five years of Kevin's life (as the first season began with only 6 episodes debuting mid-season, the 7th grade year was stretched out through the end of the 2nd season). The premiere episode sets things up nearly perfectly, as we're introduced by the present-day off-screen Kevin to the main characters who we'll then be seeing a lot of. As 1960s nostalgia was a rather big thing in 1988 and likely still is today for the subsequent years, the show pushes all of those buttons with a large variety of songs of the period (the first song heard is the Byrds' quintessential song of the era "Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)") and occasional archival film and video clips from the time. Another nod to the era is neighbor Winnie's older brother, who was idolized by Kevin and other kids of the neighborhood, who ends up being killed in Vietnam- the news reaching home right when Kevin is about to be punished for throwing an apple across the school lunchroom during his first week there. The first episode was quite well-received after airing, and the show remained a favorite for the remainder of its six-season run. While the last episode was intentional and wraps things up suitably, it was speculated that the show could have continued for as long as its cast was willing- I was personally disappointed that it ended before reaching the disco era. Clip Show" contains the scene from "Heart of Darkness" in which "Here Comes the Sun" is replaced with "Train to Nowhere". Season Four has a rather long, at 35 minutes, piece called "Teachers That Made a Difference", focusing on the junior high school teachers and the actors who played them, as well as another Fred Savage interview along with actors Robert Picardo, Ben Stein (who plays the same type of teacher he did in Ferris Bueller's Day Off) and Wendel Meldrum.

[13] Accolades [ edit ] Year Spinning Wheel -- Blood, Sweat & Tears (Episode 24/3.01 «Summer Song»). Replaced by David Clayton-Thomas version. By 1988 almost all network shows were produced in stereo, and "The Wonder Years" uses it to great advantage most of the time. The highlight of course is the music of the period (it should be noted that music rights clearances were a big issue for getting this show on disc, and some of it has been changed) as well as the guitar score by W. G. "Snuffy" Walden. The sound of the show itself varies, with some having a rather wide ambient soundstage while others sound close to mono. Daniel Stern's narration is usually diffuse across the front speakers rather than centered, a common technique for voiceovers.
