    I saw that too. I will concur that that program was a fine one. And
    will watch many of the re-runs as possible. 
    
    

    I watched that episode as well.  It was very moving; I wish they would
    continue the show, but I guess we'll have to settle for the re-runs.

    
    Drat! I'm sorry I missed it.  Those also were my formative years.
    
    Watching that show was spooky; it was like watching my life in reruns.
    Or at the least, it seemed as if I had written the show. 
    
    So what happend to Kevin (and Winnie)?

    Well - what "happened" was sort of left to your own imagination.
    Various circumstances lead up to Winnie and Kevin spending a rainy
    night in a country barn.  I was left with the feeling that they
    may have actually "done" it - but...those of purer hearts (women
    generally) probably would tell you that Winnie just put her arm
    around Kevin and held him as they fell asleep in each others arms...

    What an excellent series it was.  Kevin's dad was a spittin' image
    of my old man...to say I could "relate" would probably be an under-
    statement.   
    
    The show ends with a "summary" of what became of all the characters.
    
    Having a mind block -what profession Kevin goes into? Writer?  Winnie
    and Kev' remain friends as the years go by - but each go their seperate
    ways.   Paul (kev's bud) goes to Harvard.  Kevin's sister - ?.  Kev's
    brother - takes over the old man's business I think - after he (the
    dad) dies 2 years later.

Missed it too..

was one of our favorite shows to watch...

I'm kinda bumbed it stopped running...  Reruns are cool,
but the new ones were better.

Ah well,,,,as alwas these great running series gotta make way
for all the fad sitcoms........  

    
    RE: .4
    
    Thanks for the info.

    If one takes the scope of the program to be a recount of a particular
    persons teenage years then it MUST end sometime. The wonder years took
    a progressively older perspective as each episode enfolded, it has to
    end sometime.
    

    G'day from downunder...
    
    
    I watched several episodes and missed the last which was shown
    recently. I pre-date the series 8-(  coming out of teens in '65 but
    there were not a lot of things I could not relate to... My sons had
    problems relating to it tho... I was ofter asked 'were things like that
    then' and had to explain how life really was simpler then IMHO...and
    thet it had been even simpler a decade before when I was Kevin's age.
    
    
    It must be quite hard to be growing up today...
    
    derek
    
    visiting again after some time away from mennotes...
    
    

    
    Can someone tell me what year Kevin graduated from high school?
    My guess is 1974, as a recent episode showed Kevin, Winnie and
    Kevin's brother spending new years eve of 1973 in a laundromat.
    
    Last night showed Kev's sister graduating, the summer that he was 13,
    so that would make it 1969 or 1970. Also, Winnie moved and broke up
    with Kevin (geeze Winnie, it was only 4 miles away). Watching reruns 
    make it hard to follow progression. 
    
    Thanks,

    I also think Kevin graduates in 1974. All the time references are the same
    as I went through and that is the year that I graduated.
    
    I never felt that the early seventies were that great - or that they
    would ever make a movie or TV show about them. While times were not as
    carefree as the early '60s (American Graffiti and all), they always look
    better in retrospect - being young and all. I imagine the strongest
    fans of the show grew up in that era.

    re .10, you didn't think the early 70's were that great?  wow.  I did. 
    I graduated from h.s. in 1967, though, so I was 20 in 1970.  Those were
    the days.  They had invented The Pill, but nobody had heard of AIDS or
    herpes.  Pot was cheap and was everywhere and nobody thought it was
    dangerous.  There was great rock music, bell bottoms, etc.  If only I
    could relive them knowing what I know now.  :-)

    re .12, of course, I was always just a disinterested observer in all
    that.  I wouldn't want anyone to think I ever participated in such
    decadent behavior.  :-)

    Yup, you could get an oz for $15.........er, or so I've heard.....:')

    a whole continent for $15??

    
    re .15
    
    That's about all it's worth.

    Well, maybe I'll get to find out. The last show is being re-broadcast
    on Wednesday night here in MA - not sure of the time or the channel.
    
    I think that the rock music and The Pill were my favorite parts of the
    early 70s :-).
