I know I’m a little late to this party, but does any else find it amusing that we’re reminiscing about about a show from the 80’s that was reminiscing about the 60’s?
I hate that my mother was right about everything old being new again…

Danica McKellar went on to get her degree in mathematics, including publishing a paper that got her an Erdos number (4). With her Bacon number of 2, that gives her the Erdos-Bacon number 6.

Go Winnie!

I would watch this show every chance I got, I was born in ‘82. Looking back, I miss the late 80’s early 90’s.

You didn’t need a tinfoil hat back then. I was born in ‘74 but I’ve talked to people who actually lived it when they were old enough to remember. Of course, this TV family was in the ‘burbs and we all know suburban life’s one big bubble in the first place… I loved the show too but IT WAS A TV SHOW.

What memories? It was a TV show. I loved it too, but I also know fiction from reality.

Oh man. If they’d done that I woulda had it screencapped and submitted to Failblog faster than the MAROON could blink.

Look on eBay….

I have the entire series on DVD.

Uh….yeah. I watched it because it was entertaining, not because it claimed to be a historically accurate representation of societal issues and movements. But thanks anyway…

Did you take your meds today, by the way? And are you wearing your tin foil hat or not? I’m guessing not!

Actually, you CAN buy the whole series on DVD on eBay. It’s just copies of the episodes that someone must have taped off their TV long ago, but it’s commercial free and complete. You just have to look at a tiny “Family Channel” logo on the bottom of the screen. Probably not terribly legal, but what can you do.

Winnie’s actress is now a super-mathematician and is a part of a team that developed some important equation together; her name is in the name of the equation. She also wrote a math book for middle- and high-school girls.

I really want to buy it, even though I’m quite sure it’d make no difference with me. (I’m the biggest math-idiot on the planet.)

While I didn’t see this show on its original run, I did see it on Nick@Nite when they use to have good shows on it. Anyway, I loved this show. It was sort of like The Adventures of Pete & Pete. But more serious.

“What a maroon!”

I think I love you. Yay for old Bugs Bunny quotes! Sorry that you had a stubborn ex-hubby. Don’t you hate how they have to be right on every insignificant matter?

Then I’m never getting colon cancer. Ever. Because I not only watched this show darn near religiously, I just spent three hours on YouTube browsing what’s out there for the Wonder Years and singing loudly to my empty apartment. The cats hid.

It was a touching moment.

Oh, also the popular media debut of Alicia Silverstone as Mysterious Chick at Drive-In Theater, in a couple episodes in the final season.

Tuesday night on Leverage, the dad in this was the mobster they were conning…and I could not for the life of me remember the name of the show!

The ending reminded me alot of the end of Stand By Me. Daniel Stern (Voice of the older Kevin) was the perfect voice to reflect on Kevin’s life.

Ya, same with WKRP. Paying a cheaper licensing fee that expired in 10 years. I heard some where they are trying to release WKRP season by season, dubbing over the original music with new music they recorded in their own studio.

Did you know that singing in falsetto at least once a week reduces your chance of colon cancer?

Never watched this. Avoided it as a romanticized depiction of a time that was horribly painful for me personally. And that’s an understatement. You puppies don’t know what a horror the 70’s were for some. Not to mention the so-called “liberated” 60’s. The militarists say “Freedom isn’t free.” I say freedom isn’t as real as THEY would have you believe. And if you can’t tell who THEY are you’re probably one of them.

Damn it, even though I never watch this show (knew of it though) I still got a tear watching the last video. Emotional heartwarming stuff.

I loved this show. It was one of the shows that my brother and I would watch together. I’m not sure when it first came out, but I just remember watching it. I’m an ‘87 baby so I’m guessing I was probably seeing re-runs when I was little.

Still an awesome show though. Has M*A*S*H been on here yet? I love that show too. I have the first 6 seasons on dvd, and want to get the rest.

I was a tad too young for this show when it first came out but I loved to watch it any chance I could (I believe when it was in syndication)

Loved this show. But It bummed me out why Winnie and Kevin could never stay together.
So glad to hear that she’s so educated. She even wrote a book, Math Doesn’t Suck: How to Survive Middle-School Math Without Losing Your Mind or Breaking a Nail
Yay!

ha! i loved this show. i’d buy it on dvd.
watching the credits reminded me of an argument i had with my ex-husband about the song. he vehemently argued that the beatles COVERED this song and that joe cocker actually wrote the song and performed it first. what a maroon! we never resolved this argument, either (this was in the days before google). he probably still thinks this is a joe cocker original.
one of the many many reasons he’s now my EX-husband.
