Wonder Years
July 7, 2006"What would you do if I sang out tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
I will try not to sing out of key, yeah
Oh, baby I get by with a little help from my friends
By with a little help from my friends."
I have missed those famous words by Joe Cocker for too long. It's time the show moved to DVD.

I grew up on the "Wonder Years." I don't know if there was a better show to watch late at night. It was the 60s, I grew up in the 80s, but I could still relate nonetheless.
Daniel Stern (the crazy loon from "Home Alone") narrated the 30 minute episodes and Fred Savage, as Kevin Arnold, was the reason everyone watched.
I haven't seen the show like it in years. Reruns don’t even make the cut for the stuff they have playing on Nick at Night. Why, I have no idea. The show was quality.
It had teenage Angst, parental dilemmas and more importantly kids being kids.
We all tend to resort to the stuff we did as kids to reconnect us in a world of unknowns. Heck, I even picked up a few old WWF wrestling movies just to feel comforted, to some effect that is.
But the "Wonder Years" is my ultimate "security blanket." I can't sleep at night because of it. JK, but seriously...whoever owns the rights needs to transfer the shows to DVD.
Sooner, not later, I need it.

I'd buy the Wonder Years in a heartbeat on DVD. If only to see Whinney Cooper.
