Synopsis by Mark Deming

This home video release collects highlights from the six-season run of the situation comedy The Wonders Years, about a boy named Kevin (Fred Savage) struggling through his teenage years as he grows up in the late 1960s and early '70s. The video also includes the show's final episode in its entirety, in which Kevin has a fight with his father, runs away from home, and has a serious confrontation with his girlfriend Winnie (Danica McKellar). The Wonder Years proved to be a stepping stone for a number of notable actors who would go on to greater recognition, including Juliette Lewis, Giovanni Ribisi, David Schwimmer, and Ben Stein.
