Just watched the first episode and remembered this was my favorite show when I was young and still in elementary school. Still is good.

Never watched it. Sure as heck am not going to start now.

I was beyond the age of their target audience when it first aired though.

The girl in that show was in some of my college classes. We used to call her Winnie and it really used to irritate her. lol. she was so obnoxious imo.

Funny since I grew up during that time period I thought the first couple of seasons captured pretty well exactly what it was like to be a child entering his teen years during the 1960's.

Is that the one with the Down's Syndrome kid named Corky? If a show ever ruined a nickname that was it (if indeed that was the show)

Yep. That show was sooo annoying... they would take even the most trivial of domestic situations and over dramatize the hell out of it.

Oh NO! Kevin forgot to take out the garbage! DUM DUM DUM! :roll:

Sounds like Seinfeld.
Without the humor.

I used to love that show, and I must confess, that I was very sad when the show ended and those 2 were not together!

That's what I loved most about the show - the fact that he doesn't end up with his childhood/high school sweetheart. It seemed more 'real' that way.

I really enjoyed it as a kid. Definitely one of my favorite shows. I think the episode where he quits piano lessons and then walks by his teacher's house only to find his nemesis giving a recital is my favorite.
