"Wonder Years" is on Netflix streaming!!!

I'm guessing that the rights fees aren't what they would be on DVD.

Still wish it was on DVD so I could watch it on the treadmill, but regardless, this is terrific news.

Oh, happy day.

 

I started to watch TWY on late-night reruns over the last few months on the HUB channel, because the Kevin Arnold character is about my age (2 years older) but as I watch the show more and more I realize just about everybody in the show is annoying.

 

Since it's subscription service and not network, is it re-edited to show Winnie nekkid?

 

I had the biggest crush on Winnie Cooper. Danica McKellar is hotter still. Math never looked so good. If I would've had a math teacher like that...

 

They had to cover the Joe Cocker cover for the opening song. I'm guessing because the rights to the song didn't cover webstreaming. I don't know if they got a cement mixer or just a guy who sounds like Joe Cocker to do it, but it's a horrendous cover nonetheless.

 

The Joe Cocker version was lame anyway. And it's not like it was ever a huge hit among Kevin's age group (maybe his older sister's, but Kevin was like 11 when it came out).

They should have used a different song every year as the theme song.

 

I've pretty much watched the entire series on The Hub since they started running it last fall.

I don't know how I missed it in the first run, but Kevin was kind of a jerk in the last year. In some episodes a complete asshole.

 

Kevin became more and more a tool as the seasons wore on. (And he had been a pretty whiny kid in the first place.)

Funny thing was, by the end of the series Kevin was at least 4 inches and probably 40 pounds bigger than Wayne. I certainly hope at some time he laid a beatdown for the ages on the dipshit.
