The Wonder Years (Series)

Growing up, I had the hugest innocuous crush on Fred Savage from the 80's/90's series, The Wonder Years. I loved watching the Arnold family go through life's ups and downs as if I was a part of it all. It was a story full of characters that you'd instantly identify with. Set in the 60s, it's a day-to-day account of how Kevin Arnold in his teens coped and embraced life as we know it.

Some of the big actors and actresses of today played minor roles in the series, still fledglings at that time. There were Giovanni Ribisi, Seth Green, David Schwimmer and Juliette Lewis to name of few.  

I've selected some 'light bulb moment' lines worth sharing. Source: IMDB

"When you're a little kid you're a bit of everything; Scientist, Philosopher, Artist. Sometimes it seems like growing up is giving these things up one at a time."

"All of our young lives we search for someone to love. Someone that makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope. All the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, there's someone perfect who might be searching for us."
