On ‘The Wonder Years’
Pop Culture, Television August 24th. 2007, 9:01am
The Wonder Years is no longer an unhealthy obsession. It is our new crack, replacing mumblecore and Cookie Crisp. The clock usually hits 9:52 and we decide, ‘quick six-minute shower and we’ll still have plenty of time to make a tall glass of chocolate milk and catch the theme song.’ We’re like Tyrone Bigguns, minus the tattered clothing (blogger baby! It’s just boxers).
Anyway, this link was submitted yesterday, and we can say with some certainty that you will cease working for at least the next 10 minutes and find yourself engrossed in the flotilla of females Kevin (Calvin!) Arnold made time with during the Wonder Years. It is a tremendous compilation and necessary reading on this Friday (Mark Cuban’s Q&A with Portfolio isn’t bad either, and his ‘the internet is dead’ theory actually isn’t terrible). Many of you have expressed a passion for Madeline, and for that, we cannot fault you. We’ll lean toward Denise the Grease.

Such an amazing show. And thanks for the link. I didn’t remember him getting quite that much action. The hormones were ragin’!

Alright, Sandy was my choice because she was so naughty. She just rifled through the Arnold family. She and Kevin even tried to pull a fast one on Wayne for a few days. That was good, clean fun when I was small. But imagine my shock, horror, etc., when she was in the tub with Vinny Chase on Entourage last season. Glad to see she’s still got it.

You’re setting sports bloggers back ten years!

God bless you TBL. You’re good people. I’m right there with you from 10-11 most nights, although I must admit that I missed the first episode last night in order to catch the end of Karate Kid I on The Family Channel. It was a tough call. I feel cheated by the fact that they edited out the often-quoted “Put him in a body bag!” line. The Wonder Years is one of those rare shows that has very few, if any, less than stellar episodes.

That
Was
Awesome!
Kevin was a lil horn ball. Great Link.

Jimmy Chitwood- Bill Simmons wants you to know that identity theft is no laughing matter.

If I ever write something like this post, I promise to punch myself in the cock as hard as possible.

The Wonder Years is cool, but I tend to go with Fresh Prince of Bel Air reruns in that time slot.

What happened to bloggers watching Skinemax while drinking cheap gin and smoking dirt weed? Chocolate milk? Wonder Years? Oh wait. Not all bloggers are like the KSK guys. I keep forgetting that.

Now I have Joe Cocker in my head…thanks TBL

Its a shame its not officially out on DVD. Damn the music industry for holding everything up with your outdated 70s songs. You’d think they’d do anything to keep those songs in circulation.

I for one am glad TBL is here. I always wanted my sports news from someone who was a little more out of touch than Simmons, but a little less out of touch than Peter King.
C’mon, man. We had your back when Simmons AND Schrutebag slagged you. And you repay us with Wonder Years stories, promising to talk about politics, and getting 90210 and the OC on DVD?
That wasn’t part of the deal, man!

KC- I drink good gin (http://www.citadellegin.com/) and I certainly don’t smoke dirt weed.
August 24th, 2007 at 10:20 am
Yes, life is too short for shit weed. That’s some hifalutin gin. I must reevaluate my stance.

Man, if i knew karate kid was i, i probably would have switched over too. It’s bogus simmons can claim credit for that film just because he was pecking away on the net while everyone was in college chasing the muff around

I feel fantastic! Something I linked to in a comment getting a full POST! I am more honored than if I was ina Bill Simmons mailbag~ Anywho.. I defintiely would go with Sandy.. she ran through that whole family.. plus watch Frank Miller’s SinCity for the scene where she is parading in nothing but a thong… Denise the grease is a close 2nd.. Can’t figure out what he saw in Winnie when he was pulling all that trim

still only 20 bucks
August 24th, 2007 at 10:30 am
@ButtersBC- nuthin’ wrong with a healthy dose of Joe Cocker…

“It’s bogus simmons can claim credit for that film”
It was the whole Karate Kid/Jimmy Chitwood/tv nerdiness combo

I don’t understand the obession. I even watched the show as a kid.

Ion network – this year’s Marques Colston?

Class of ‘93 Rules. 90210, Saved by the Bell, and Kevin Arnold all graduated high school in 1993. Technically I know Kevin’s graduation took place two decades earlier, but it ran in 1993.

Its bad enough that you guys post about TV shows that are running now, but a post on a show thats been cancelled for a while? And admitting that you guys shower together? I cant wait for the “we’re coming out of the closet” post.
