A little boy (Stern's real life son, Henry) can be heard asking "Hey, Dad, want to play catch?" during a break in the final narration. Kevin responds, "I'll be right there." In the episode "Whose Woods Are These?", the Blood, Sweat & Tears recording entitled "Variations on a Theme" by Erik Satie (1st and 2nd Movements, adapted from Satie's " Three Gymnopédies") was replaced with "Le Suenne Fite".

The series depicts the social and family life of a boy in a stereotypical American suburban middle-class family from 1968 to 1973, covering the ages of 12 through 17. Where the Arnold family lives is never specified other than being a suburb, but some episodes have license plates showing California and New York. Each year in the series takes place exactly 20 years before airing (1988 to 1993).The long wait is over. In the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, and Spain«The Wonder Years» is now available on DVD. A release in Germany was prevented due to excessive costs for the dubbed German language version. Season Five's extras are "That's A Wrap!" featuring home video footage from co-producer Mark B. Perry giving the set one last look before leaving the show, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" focusing on the love stories of the show, another Olivia d'Abo interview and one from David Schwimmer. The final season includes "At Last," a featurette on the last episode, "From the Vault" which has Alley Mills reading a letter she had written to executive producer Bob Brush to apologize for an argument she'd had with him while shooting the last episode, and an interview segment with Brush himself. The final episode itself is also billed as an extra, as its selection from the main menu gives you two half-hour episodes that were split up from the original one-hour show for syndication. In the "Extras" menu, the hourlong show is presented again as the "ABC broadcast of the series finale" but still excludes the commercials. (This does include the New World logo at the end.) Each season also includes a booklet with informative liner notes, descriptions of each episodes with original air dates. Final Thoughts: In Canada, the show aired on CTS Ontario from September 2010 until September 2, 2011. In Australia, the show aired on Network Ten between 1989 and 1995, then from March 31, 2012, on ABC1. In the Philippines, the show aired on GMA Network. a b c "The Museum of Broadcast Communications - Encyclopedia of Television". Archived from the original on January 2, 2015 .

" 'Wonder Years' Reboot Pilot at ABC Sets Don Cheadle as Narrator". Variety . Retrieved March 26, 2021.Going through the complete series of 115 episodes is quite a trip, as we see roughly five years of Kevin's life (as the first season began with only 6 episodes debuting mid-season, the 7th grade year was stretched out through the end of the 2nd season). The premiere episode sets things up nearly perfectly, as we're introduced by the present-day off-screen Kevin to the main characters who we'll then be seeing a lot of. As 1960s nostalgia was a rather big thing in 1988 and likely still is today for the subsequent years, the show pushes all of those buttons with a large variety of songs of the period (the first song heard is the Byrds' quintessential song of the era "Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)") and occasional archival film and video clips from the time. Another nod to the era is neighbor Winnie's older brother, who was idolized by Kevin and other kids of the neighborhood, who ends up being killed in Vietnam- the news reaching home right when Kevin is about to be punished for throwing an apple across the school lunchroom during his first week there. The first episode was quite well-received after airing, and the show remained a favorite for the remainder of its six-season run. While the last episode was intentional and wraps things up suitably, it was speculated that the show could have continued for as long as its cast was willing- I was personally disappointed that it ended before reaching the disco era.
