Is "The Wonder Years" a good show?

its great, don't remember if it was good through all the seasons though

Yes, though a full (or at least 80% exposure to) re-watch is to feel it best.

I watched on tv all its years, & admired how restrained they actually kept it. Usually when tv kids age, their shows become bastardized. TWR kept on sailing, abeit a bit less innocently.

The only thing really holding the show back in the end were the location shoots. The older kids no longer all in one school/on one street to film, the budget couldn't be had.

I thought it was a good show. The last season is alright, for whatever reason they pretty much replace Paul with some other guy.

I always think of the episode where Winnie's brother is killed in Vietnam. It's absolutely heartbreaking and wonderful.

Same here.  Even the finale with an older Kevin saying his dad passed away always gets to me.

I couldn't stand Winnie because she was always emotionally stunted, but it makes sense for a child to lose a sibling due to being killed in combat.

Speaking of Winnie, Kevin should have stopped pursuing her in the early seasons.  I always shipped Madeline Adams (Julie Condra).  She just seemed like the perfect girlfriend.  I always thought it was stupid of him to keep chasing after Winnie, but as a child, he probably didn't understand what kind of affect her bother dying had on her.

BTW, after the series had ended some years later, I never knew Daniel Stern was the narrator.  It shocked me when the villain from Home Alone (1990) was the guy telling the story, LOL!
