His chartbusting version of the Beatles song 'With a Little Help from My Friends' was the theme song of the series The Wonder Years. #JoeCocker

neutral · AI labelView post →As an Emmys nerd, I find the thing where one show wins seven out of the eight televised awards so uninvolving. I miss when, like, The Wonder Years would win a bunch of awards, but then when it came time for comedy series, someone would go, "IDK, Murphy Brown??"
neutral · AI labelView post →Just an FYI: if there were a show today like The Wonder Years, it would depict life in 2006. That kinda broke my brain, and I figured other Gen-Xers should share the horror.
neutral · AI labelView post →THE PITT fandom discussion got me wondering... what was your first experience in online TV fandom? I lurked in a lot of Usenet fan spaces for Trek, Buffy, other shows... but the first I participated in was an email listserv for THE WONDER YEARS when the show had started airing on Nick-At-Night
neutral · AI labelView post →As a very young kid (I'm talking like 5-6 years old here) I just straight up did not understand the concept of TV shows taking place in any time period other than present day, so I just assumed The Wonder Years was an old show from the 60s.
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s 2025; Back to the Future would be a $200 million Netflix production that stars Ryan Reynolds and is forgotten in a week; The Wonder Years would be a gritty FX show only streaming on Hulu; Dazed & Confused would sit in limbo, unable to find a distributor

positive · AI labelView post →Sometimes I brainstorm by pondering the wildest “never gonna happen” TV show premises. I just was thinking about “THE WONDER YEARS, but the voice in his head tells him to kill people,” which sounded really twisted until I realized “Oh, that’s just BATES MOTEL”

neutral · AI labelView post →Fuck The Wonder Years is a heavy show I mean, the first episode opens on the death of Winnie's brother in Vietnam and just keeps hitting. It's listed as a drama but it's a sitcom in format but there are so many episodes that end on a low note
positive · AI labelView post →Oh, it happens ALL the time. WKRP. The Wonder Years. Wiseguy. Pretty much any 20th century show with lots of needle drops gets this treatment, because nobody thought back then to secure perpetual rights to use these songs in formats that didn't yet exist.

You could go on Nick and watch SNICK Saturday night then watch I Love Lucy and The Wonder Years. You could go to CN and watch Cow & Chicken after The Tex Avery Show or Toon Heads. Fantastic time for television.

I loved her in the 1986 film Bullies, which is a great 80s movie. This photo was taken in the lobby of the hotel where we were both staying.

neutral · AI labelView post →Recently saw a post about how the 1988 American TV show "The Wonder Years" was set 20 years prior in 1968 and how the same show today would be set in 2005. I was 18 in 1988 so it was set 2 years before my birth which made it feel old, but 2005 does not seem so long ago. Time is a weird construct.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Wonder Years debuted in 1988 and was set in 1968. So, it’s been nearly twice as long since the debut of the show as it was from then to the time it represented. A Wonder Years debuting today would be set in 2005. Which sounds terrible.
