The Wonder Years

[JudgeDredd]

I spend my lunch times watching series of programmes that warm my heart. As I'm a judge, I kind of like to "melt" a bit...besides, I'm an old softy that looks back to the past with much fondness.

Over last year I bought and watched all of Frasier which I loved. I then bought and just recently finished Cheers. Both were superb. So I was thinking about my next "venture" and then I remembered The Wonder Years.

I didn't see the whole thing, but I do recall catching an episode here and there and really liked it. Imagine my surprise, dismay and confusion when I found it on sale for an eye watering $300!!!  :o

Apparently the people who wanted to make the DVD box set were being held to ransom for the musical score - of which it had plenty.

So - I'm pretty gutted. I just can't justify $300 + shipping for a 6 series program. Damn the music industry!

go track down the box sets for That '70s Show

Boomtown is also good, but more of a serious drama

[JudgeDredd]

Oh no thanks. That doesn't look like my thing at all  :-\

It's a bit too "modern" anyway. I'm looking at series that go into the early nineties...though Frasier was later, granted, but I already knew his character.

Just from the promo I saw of that, it isn't my humour. Cheers and Frasier had a "cute" kind of humour. I think a lot of "modern" humour is kind of in your face...like it's got to be obvious humour. Also I wanted to see how it panned out for the main protagonists...and I did, and I really liked them.

The Wonder Years was just downright cute.

Maybe I'll look at M.A.S.H of something similar. I never knew how that ended.

I think I'm specifically thinking about series I may have caught some episodes of, with a main character or a couple of main ones where I don't know how the series ended.

M.A.S.H is probably a good bet - I think I'd like to see how that ended.

Brant's losing his edge. First he misses the opportunity to school Star on grammar, then he fails to note the Korean War didn't end.

Maybe this latest Polar Vortex has frozen his brain.

but if you want to get that picky...  technically it wasn't ever a war, so there!

And that, folks, is why you should not try to learn your history from Alan Alda.

Alan Alda, didn't he invade Canada?

Surrender pronto or we'll level Toronto!

For those of a certain age, if you read the novel MASH, or any of the sequels, you may recall that they didn't like lefties.  Quite right wing.  I think the author seperated himself by a mile from the TV show.

The Wonder Years is one of my favorite shows ever. And Danica McKellar is quite smokin' hawt now.

And a Mensa member.
