It was a groundbreaking television series that defined a generation. A TV Series that, for years, it was one of one the most requested for a DVD Release. 21 years after its final episode in 1993, the people at Star Vista Entertainment have heard the call and answer our prayers with the release of that timeless classic “The Wonder Years”.
See how it all began as we see & hear the world through the memories of Kevin Arnold (Fred Savage). Relive all the first season of the Wonder Years through its six episodes on two discs. Within those six episodes, you will see Kevin go through young love, sex education, and the junior high school dance with his friends Paul Pfeiffer (Josh Saviano) and Gwendolyn “Winnie” Cooper (Danica McKellar) Did you know that after its freshman year, this show won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series in 1998.
Season One would not complete without its bonus features. You will get over two hours of bonuses including
- Highlights from the Wonder Years cast reunion featuring all the main cast
- With a Little Help from My Friends: The Early Days of the Wonder Years featurette – An in-depth look of how The Wonder Years came to be
- New Interviews with creators Neal Marlens and Carol Black, Fred Savage, Danica McKellar and Josh Saviano
This DVD is a godsend because fans all over have wanted the Wonder Years on DVD to share with their children. For many years, The Wonder Years series wasn’t available on DVD due to music licensing issues. Because of their painstaking efforts, Star Vista/Time Life was able to secure an impressive 96% of the original music soundtrack to the DVD release. The stories we see thru Kevin Arnold help you remember why you miss the series and may bring back from childhood memories while the music, simply takes you back to a time when the world was changing.
The moment you hear Joe Cocker’s With a Little Help from My Friends, you are instantly hooked to the show. I, for one, missed the series after it left the airwaves and am very glad that its on DVD to enjoy, to remember, to wonder…. once more.
About The Author
Editor-in-Chief/Entertainment Reporter
I knew early on that I wanted to take my place among the stars. One day, my mother saw me reading The Washington Post at a very young age. Who would have known that it would be the building blocks of my journey? Since that day, I dedicated my life to learn all that is learnable. I read everything from encyclopedias, to books, to dictionaries, to magazines. I’m also an avid consumer of television, with my favorite genre being game shows. If you’ve seen me on Who Wants to be a Millionaire or Wheel of Fortune, then you know that this interest has served me well!
My unique style of reporting began back in junior high school, when I started to chronicle the events that shaped my life. Whether it was the annual family vacation or the local science fiction convention, I shot numerous pictures and recorded my thoughts so I could truly appreciate the history. During my senior year at Friendly High, I wrote what was to be my first masterpiece, “Advanced Space Academy – A One Week Journey.” I sent the eleven-page article back to the U.S. Space Camp staff. The article was highly praised for being “one of the best written articles in the history of U.S. Space Camp.” From then on, I knew what I wanted to do for rest of my life — to be a reporter.
Since then, I have trained in Broadcast Journalism at Bowie State University (2008) in Bowie, MD earning a B.S. in Communications. I gained experience in news production and editing through field experiences with Bowie Community Media Corporation, Prince George’s Community Television, and Bowie State University Television. I also wrote scripts for a variety of quiz shows for over five years.
As a lifelong movie buff, I now see close to 100 films every year. I took this love of movies to the next step when I became a co-host for Eclipse Magazine TV in the fall of 2005. While at EMTV, I interviewed celebrities, worked red carpets, and attended a wide variety of movie screenings. In January 2009, I took a leap of faith and started my own entertainment news magazine, The Rogers Revue. Shortly afterward, my life-long journey of studying the silver screen and writing about what I learned finally earned me a place in the Washington Area Film Critics Association.
All of this has led me here, giving you the latest entertainment news for the DMV and the entire nation, and I am truly excited for whatever will come next.
