One of Kevin’s flings grew up to be a real life pornstar.

Ha ha, had to look that up. Holly Sampson!

The Wonder Years wiki says that the episode she was in also had Juliette Lewis as Wayne's girlfriend. Totally forgot she was even in this.

"Summer Song" October 3, 1989

In the remaining days of summer, the Arnolds decide to take a vacation trip to Ocean City, in part for old times' sake, since it was Jack and Norma's honeymoon destination. Paul comes along, but the vacation turns out to be a disaster, as Paul gets car-sick and throws up a couple of times and later appears to get sunburned but actually develops an allergic reaction to fish he ate, which forces him to stay inside for the remainder of the week-long vacation; add to that Wayne's constant bullying, Karen's belly-aching and complaining, and Jack's constant complaining about the high prices. So Kevin, now feeling more alone than ever, decides to take a stroll along the beach in search of a little solace, where he encounters Teri (Holly Sampson), a beautiful (although older) girl who also seems alone, but more upbeat and optimistic. Kevin and Teri plan a date to the boardwalk arcade the next day. Their date ends with a kiss under a pier, but the moment is ruined when Teri turns down a second date for the next day, because she and her family got called back home to Albuquerque due to her father's job. Teri promised to write to Kevin every so often until they met again; but after only one letter, Kevin never heard from her again.

Guest-starring: Holly Sampson as Teri; Juliette Lewis as Wayne's girlfriend Delores.

This is Danica McKellar (Winnie Cooper) as a 44 year-old woman in 2019.

Unsure of the year it was taken, but this is a recent photo of her younger sister Crystal (Becky Slater)

That's a "No hesitation. Absolutely no hesitation" from me for either one...

Adult Winnie still gives you wood too, eh?

Have posted this elsewhere but not this thread

The Wonder Years aired from 1988 and 1993 and depicted the years between 1968 and 1973. When I watched the show, it felt like it was set in a time long ago. If a new Wonder Years premiered today, it would cover the years between 2000 and 2005.

Looks like an older setting than the original series

Is that the dude from Psych playing his dad?

Just how little imagination do modern entertainment execs have? Take old series and reboot with female/black/gay cast, rinse and repeat, are we that bereft of new ideas now?

The 60s again? Who still remembers the 60s? How old is adult black Kevin narrator supposed to be? The 90s would make more sense.

Feels like they do it more for the controversy/clicks than the actual series, I reckon that was the case with the female Ghostbusters for example.

I won't be watching the new Wonder Years, can see it being like The Goldbergs which was an 80s style Wonder Years ripoff but nowhere near as good.

The original Wonder Years was a classic show, funny how it was a show about 60s nostalgia but now people are nostalgic about watching it in the 90s.

Speaking of The Wonder Years I was watching the Seinfeld episode last night where Fred Savage makes a cameo and Kramer gets nervous trying to give him his script, hilarious scene but it also shows how big The Wonder Years was at the time that Kramer being starstruck by Fred Savage was believable.

Don't bother with NBC/CBS/FOX/ABC comedies. They're very restrained and almost never as funny as cable and streaming series. This would be worth checking out (conceivably) if it were made for FX or Hulu but on ABC it's already got one hand tied behind its back.

NBC had two of the best American comedy shows in the 80s and 90s with Cheers and Seinfeld, Cheers was a lead in for Seinfeld in it's early years.

Seinfeld struggled for ratings early on and was in danger of being cancelled but then it took off and became bigger than Cheers by the end of it's run.

I don't care for modern day American sitcoms from the mainstream networks though, Curb Your Enthusiasm is the only good one and it's on HBO.

When the Arnolds old car was towed off to the sounds of Neil Young's Long May You Run.




There was not a dry eye in the house.

One of the greatest shows I've ever watched and tears at the end.

My dad always brought home the latest company cars, I remember being excited when he brought home the new Nissan Bluebird in the early 80s.

Then he brought home the new Mitsubishi Magna in 1985 with electric windows and we lost our shit.

I love Shakey but that song implied there was a place where even Richard Nixon has got soul which is plain wrong.

Tried watching The Wonder Years properly once (was only a little kid when it originally aired) but every episode ending with a deep and meaningful didn't lend itself to binge watching. Reading the behind the scenes on how the makers/writers wanted to continue the series to college but the network refused because Kevin having sex and doing drugs wouldn't have been family friendly was interesting.

I was very pleased when Married with Children and Roseanne turned up and not every American program was a neat little morality tale wrapped up in half an hour.

The Simpsons killed it. Ripped into family sitcoms while dishing up its own ethics lessons. By the late 90s there were hardly any left.

Seinfeld was the same, Larry David said they had a mantra of "no hugging, no learning" which was different to most other American sitcoms.
