What would you do if I sang out of tune? Would you stop visiting this blog? The Wonder Years was a coming-of-age dramedy for baby-boomers as Kevin Arnold recalled his adolescent years in a middle-class suburban family during a time of great change in America. As a child of the decade of excess, I didn't quite meet the demographic for The Wonder Years, but I remember ABC promoting the hell out of it so I tuned in, partly because I watched it's lead-in, Who's The Boss? (1984-1992). I was just a casual viewer but one episode I remember is when Mrs. Arnold doesn't want Kevin to play football and takes him shopping for new pants, some awfully roomy in the crotch. It wasn't until years later did I realize adult Kevin was narrated by Marv from Home Alone (1990). The show was a hit with critics, had Emmy nominations up the wazoo and is found on many "best television shows of all time" lists.
