The Wonder Years/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Creator's Pet: Winnie is/was this to some people because of the way she treated Kevin.
  • Crowning Moment of Funny: The Gym teacher's utter failure at drawing the female reproductive system ("It looks like a COW").
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The series was pretty popular in Mexico during its broadcasting tenure, to the grade many of their voice actors had become celebrities (especially Kevin's younger and adult versions and Winnie's Mexican voice actors).
  • Retroactive Recognition: "Hey, it's The Doctor from Star Trek: Voyager as the asshole Gym teacher!"
    • And Karen is married to Ross from Friends, you do remember Karen don't you?
  • Tear Jerker: Built on a metric ton of these. Special stand-outs include the first episode's final revelation, Kevin's "I love you" to Winnie while she's sick at home, Kevin failing his piano recital utterly and admitting (in narration) that he doesn't even remember how to play anymore, and the Series Finale's ending commentary.
    • The entire Series Finale has to be one of the saddest, yet most enlightening in TV history.
