The Wonder Years
With a little help from my friends.
Created by Neal Marlens, Carol Black
On ABC
A warm, nostalgic coming-of-age comedy-drama that uses adult retrospection to find both humor and poignancy in the ordinary trials of adolescence.
The story of Kevin Arnold facing the trials and tribulations of youth while growing up during the 1960s and 70s. Told through narration from an adult Kevin, Kevin faces the difficulties of maintaining relationships and friendships on his enthralling journey into adulthood.
