I bought this Christmas Special when it was first released
on VHS, just in time for the holidays. It was a present for
my brother, who is as sincere a fan of the show as I am.
Although the compilation did bring back great memories of
The Wonder Year's Christmas, I was kind of hoping for more
content. The episodes (2 Christmas specials) were great!

But if you are looking for a 'Best of' or full seasons,
then you are probably better off waiting. This DVD only got
watched ONCE by my brother. If you are looking for a good
Christmas gift, this one won't hold up under the tree.

Ok. It's been forever since this show went of the air. Other shows which don't even match up to the Wonder Years have come out on seasonal DVD, then why is the hold up on this??? This show deserves to be called a classic and the best way to do that is by "laminating " it with the release of seasonal DVD. I'd buy the whole series in a heart beat. WE WANT MORE OF THE WONDER YEARS!

don't be fooled by the prices - entire series is on DVD (do a Google search for the sites) for under $60.00 including all the christmas shows

This show is tied up in legal clearances for music rights, any legal seasonal sets are FAR in the future.

This Holiday collection is one of only two legal releases of this classic series. Yes, some of the background music has been changed but it is not noticable.

Any 'complete series' sets sold elsewhere are bootlegs. This is the real thing!

This television show was a great family program with a lot of heart. This DVD contains two Christmas Episodes. They will tug a bit at your heart because they are very sentimental. This comedy/drama was a very good television show and was worth the price of the DVD to see it again!!
If you're a fan of the show, buy this DVD and if you're not- you should be!!
It is a simple DVD and although the audio is in Stereo it still sounds good.
I highly recommend this DVD to any fan of the show!!!!!

This Dvd contains 2 Christmas season episodes one set in 1968 and the other 4 years later.

The Arnold family featuring Kevin and the american life in those wonder years the 60's in this mild and often classic Tv Show.

This episodes wasn't showed on my country when the show was released so that's why I bought it.

A good prize for the Dvd plus a nice menu good sound and good quality on the transfer depite is from the late 80's the broadcast.

I recommend to all to buy this if you are fan of the classic Tv Shows.

Please release more episodes.

Two great Episodes from one of the greatest programmes ever made, unique in that it's filled only with great episodes, so why can't we buy it yet?
Some very very inferior programmes are available to buy on DVD, release this, and many people will buy it, it's an absolute classic.
While i'm here, anyone for the complete Seinfeld......??

If that can't happen, I'm at least thrilled to have these on DVD. Wonder Years was one of the finest series on television and I wish they'd clear the music rights (I assume that's what holds this one up?!) and get the series out on DVD!
For now, Kevin and Winnie - and an old vinyl LP - wish you a merry Christmas.

Excellent series. I thought it would have been available on DVD boxed sets for each season by now. Someone mentioned legal hangup about music intellectual property concerns. I bought a DVD "best of" shortly after I bought my first DVD player. Had no idea that more of the same is NOT yet available. "My Father's Office" hits too close to home. The episode starts off with brothers Kevin and Wayne discussing potential career goals with their friends. "I want to be centerfielder for the Giants. Fallback position, quarterback". Conversation turns to what each kid's father does. "My dad has a better paying job than yours." Kevin know that Jack Arnold works for the defense/Aerospace company NORCOM, as Manager of Product Distribution and Support in North America. But, Kevin innocently asks, "What does that mean?" Seeking a better understanding of what Dad's job entails,young Kevin asks him, "Dad, what do you do at work?". Dad's brutally honest reply, "I shovel other people's <excrement> all day so you can eat." In a pre-cursor to "take your kid to work day", Kevin takes the day off from school and tags along with Dad during the work day. We observe highlights such as: the importance of the coffee break, Dad taking the blame for incompetent sub-ordinates, and other memorable office politics that hit WAY to close to home. Most memorable, Kevin asking "When you were growing up, did you want to be Manager of Product Development and Support in North America?" Jack explains to Kevin that sometimes dreams don't come true. Reality sets in. He met Kevin's mom, she got pregnant, they bought a house. Dad's comment to Kevin, "I don't think we've done that bad." Certainly, it's worth it to wait for an official DVD/Blue ray release of this quality content. I've seen an offering of ALL episodes for the price of only $49.95; no doubt, not officially licensed product. Anyone care to comment about the quality of the bogus product?

I really enjoyed the two episodes on the DVD, but why only two episodes?
