5.0 out of 5 stars
"a wonderful experience" jhooten55@hotmail.com, June 13, 2000
By A Customer
No TV program in recent memory has ever offered the honesty, sincerity, humor and tenderness that The Wonder Years gave us. I was the same age as Kevin in 1968 - and recall almost the exact same images brought back to life in the show. Daniel Stern's narrative adds a special warmth to often tough times as does the finely chosen music. With all that was going on in those years - the war, the politics, the music, the drugs - this superb video gives us a thumbnail sketch into the lives of one family. Whether you were a kid of 14 or a parent of 50, this video (and the entire series) offer a rare glimpse into a wonderful era that's now long gone. Thirty years go by in a hurry (and our values with them). I'm perhaps overly sentimental here, but this show is an underated gem that will shine for years. I can only hope that this entire collection will be made available. The material is far too good to be limited only to cable. I just hope the writers can continue to create television like this - before we're all reduced to watching sex, violence and lame comedy sitcoms for the next thirty years.

5.0 out of 5 stars
This show had such an impact on me, August 13, 1999
By A Customer
I've seen absolutely every Wonder Years episode possible, and every episode has left me crying. Sure Kevin Arnold is nothing more than the world's sweetest 12-year-old kid in the beginning, but as he grows up into a 16-year-old teenager, there's no doubt in anyone's mind that this isn't any old sitcom that's just going to leave in thin air, thanks to Nick at Nite, which restored all the episodes back to it's perfect ways. Watch this show with your kids (once they're 10 and up, though, the talk that Kevin and Paul get, for instance, isn't right for little kids, and especially when Paul admits to something he did with a girl), and truly go back into those years... of wonder.

Poor Tape Quality, March 9, 2002
The story was excellent, but the tape quality was awful. It appeared as if someone taped it at home on their VCR using ELP speed. I was beginning to think it was bootlegged.
