Can you believe it's been 36 years since the Wonder Years first aired?! (36 years, 10 months, 21 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did the Wonder Years end?
When the Wonder Years came to an end after 6 years in May 1993, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Kevin Arnold (Fred Savage). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a Wonder Years reunion disappoint people?
The Wonder Years aired from 1988-1993 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Savage said he's not sure if the Wonder Years would work today. “I don't want to see old Kevin Arnold,” he told a journalist (Savage turned 48 in July). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” he added.
Still hoping for a Wonder Years movie?
In a recent interview, Fred Savage said he can't imagine a Wonder Years reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
What about a Wonder Years reboot?
Recasting the Wonder Years for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
Be it in the form of a Wonder Years reunion, a Wonder Years movie, or a Wonder Years reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
