one of the best ever..maybe a wonder years thread will bring back thodoks...he had a soft spot as well for it
we watched a ton of the wonder years and played a ton of sega genesis (madden and nhl) my freshman year of college. 10 years later my old roommate was working on a senator's staff and got to escort winnie cooper around d.c. when she was in town to testify about math and science (i think she went to stanford or something).
