VHS Movie Reviews of The Wonder Years: Volume 2
Movie Review: Very good/ cold have been great w'o Wayne!
Summary: 4 Stars
A very good & nostalgic show. I could not stand the immaturity and idiocy of big brither Wayne, and thought he added nothing to the show except an annoying distraction. He should have been more developed as a character or "lost" as was done with the big brother in Happy Days! This show needs to be available on DVD.Movie Review: Has it been 20 years since The Wonder Years
Summary: 5 Stars
The Wonder Years (1988 to 1993) was a look back to the late 60's/early 70's in America and all the social turbulence of a decade we all are still trying to get over (yes, even us offspring of the hippies, etc) ... and the commentary was piercing. The show was a great look back at just how much changed during those rocky years before 80's materialism and 90's realism, and then the 21st century's come uppance. It was about the loss of innocence for an entire collective generation and kind of explained why baby boomers still seem to want to stay young. Hello ... it's been 20 years since the then 40-somethings went into nostalgia for 20 years ago. But history is seductive the older it gets.Movie Review: Very good show - led the way for Malcolm in the Middle and many others
Summary: 4 Stars
Wonder Years was one of the most captivating and favorite shows I've followed in the 90's. Watching re-runs on TV can bring that sense of nostalgia because the show was that impactful. It doesn't necessarily have to appeal to hardcore fans. The show contains mild comedy and that 'coming-of-age' style story that makes it one of the best dramas in 90's TV.
The show chronicles the life of Kevin Arnold, a caucasian middle-class adolecent growing up on the well titled wonder years or the 60's. Basically, he gives us his anecdote about growing up in those years and how he as an adolecent overcame most of life's obstacles - something many teens face. The best thing about the show was that it contained some situations that many teens faced in life - here we see how to overcome it and the hilarity and familiarity of it. It's also about love, family and high school. The show's fame mirrored onto shows such as Dilbert, Hey Arnold and The Simpsons - where the narrator Daniel Stern voiced Bart's adventures as he assumed the role of Kevin Arnold.
The show has a strong premise. We all have experienced love, loss, fights, authroity, being grounded and ambition. The Wonder Years started out a bit shaky but eventually gained fame after showing with perfection how a normal adolecent hurdle life's obstacles while living through the 60's. The show is very recommenable. If the DVD set ever comes out, you should purchase it then.
Movie Review: 5 Million Stars More Like!
Summary: 5 Stars
I must take issue with My-Linh Pham who writes "As a devoted fan of the Wonder Years, I must say that I was disappointed in this video collection. Not only is the quality poor (fading in and out, scratchiness, etc.) but there are only two episodes per video (on this one and on vol. 1)" Perhaps Ms Pham is not quite as devoted a fan as she claims. Might I remind her that the quality of any video featuring Fred Savage can never be poor and, while I can appreciate her sentiments that more episodes = more Fred Savage, two episodes of the Wonder Years featuring Fred Savages remarkable and moving portrayal of Kevin are still excellent and worthy of rather more than two stars!
For shame!
Movie Review: Only for the die-hard fan
Summary: 2 Stars
As a devoted fan of the Wonder Years, I must say that I was disappointed in this video collection. Not only is the quality poor (fading in and out, scratchiness, etc.) but there are only two episodes per video (on this one and on vol. 1). I appreciate the early episodes, but they definitely made a mistake by passing up some of the gems of the later seasons ("The Lake"/cara episode, "Goodbye", anything with Becky Slater...and of course, the 2-part series finale). Unless you're desperate and this is truly your only option, I would recommend holding out until something better comes along.
