Talk:The Wonder Years
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I think it is ridiculous to mention the foretold events of the epilogue of the series. Yes, there is a spoiler warning, but still, I don't think that info is important enough to be putting in the main characters description. I suggest taking it out.
Anyone else think that Milhouse's character on the Simpsons is modelled after Paul Pfeiffer? --Jpawloski 03:19, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

- The question is: who was created first Paul Pfeiffer or Milhouse? I think that Milhouse appeared on the Simpsons before the debut of The Wonder Years.KitHutch 15:35, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think so. The Tracy Ullman Simpsons Shorts did precede the Wonder Years by about a year, but Milhouse doesn't appear in any of the shorts. Milhouse was introduced in a Butterfinger commercial in 1989. scroll down a bit. Zagalejo 03:50, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Father's cause of death
I'd like some discussion on this before editing, but did the program actually state that Jack Arnold died of a heart attack? I remember the quote as being "Wayne took over the business two years later, when dad passed away".—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Domszanto (talk • contribs).
- I'm almost certain it doesn't, so I removed the bit about a heart attack being the likely cause. It could just as easily been a car crash, stroke, cancer, etc. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 16:36, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ratings and popular impact?
Does anyone have any information of the shows' ratings and cultural impact during the late 80's and early 90's? Darwin's Bulldog 23:16, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What the show is called in other countries
I just don't feel this is relevant or necessary. Does anyone think that it is even remotely interesting? Trivial, yes, but trivia? No. 24.57.203.238 00:13, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
Didn't notice that bit, but I would remind you that wikipedia is not just a US website, and there may well be people who would find that information useful. 82.19.66.37 22:08, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Coach Cutlip
I remember watching the episode in which Kevin graduated from junior high and Cutlip announced that he was becoming an assistant athletic director at a junior college. He was never see again on the show. Where/when did he make an appearance as Kevin's high school gym teacher? KitHutch 14:18, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- There was an episode when Kevin was graduating from Jr. High where Coach Cutlip had a prolonged and emotional speech telling the kids in the gym that he was going to be teaching at the High School, so they would see him in their next school year. Cutlip was around during Kevin's High School years, he was in several episodes. Darwin's Bulldog 20:42, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- That emotional speech was because he was named assisted athletic director at a community college. I don't remember him in any high school episodes. There weren't any recurring high school teachers from what I remember. If you can reference a high school episode with Cutlip, I will be convinced.KitHutch 15:02, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
- You have me at a bit of a disadvantage with a reference. The show isn't on syndication where I'm at and I have no DVD's or videos to research. I do remember thinking it was odd that Cutlip was still around for Kevin's High School years (as well as his Jr. High years) until I saw the episode I mentioned previously.

[edit] this show...

[edit] Marilyn Manson
I know this might seem a strage thing to include but there was a long time misconception that Marilyn Manson appeared in The Wonder Years. Im sure I can find lots of references to it. Or is it silly to include it Graemec2 14:17, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- It is already mentioned in the article at #Trivia.

[edit] Not Trivia...
The mention of The Simpsons episode is not trivia either. There is a bad habit among the Wikipedia universe that lists cultural references, spoofs and satires under trivia. This needs to change. These should be put under a different heading such as "Satires" or something like that. In contrast, the information about Danica McKellar's sister playing one of Kevin's love interests, really is trivia.
"n episode 45, Daddy's Little Girl, there are 19 candles on the birthday cake instead of 18." - People often have one extra candle, "for good luck" on birthday cakes.
[edit] Paul and Winnie
I remember the last episode really vividly and I'm pretty sure (tho not absolute) that Kevin mentioned something about Winnie ending up with Paul. Anyone else recall this. I was bummed out for years behind that, lol.Scott Free 05:05, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
Pretty sure that didn't happen.
