i liked The Wonder Years... decent show

Meh it was okay....I'm actually more partial to American Dreams. I don't think Wonder Years (and considering Kevin was supposed to be looking back on his childhood now as an adult) really looked @ race, gender...etc issues.

There is some nod to his mom later becoming a VERY successful businesswoman and chair of the board. But American Dreams did it more thoroughly throughout that series. Also included disability issues.

He's terribly underrated. I love him.

He’s the best and I agree, totally underrated.
I love how he has blossomed as an in-demand Director.
I’ve heard him guest on a few podcasts and he sounds like a really creative, balanced and down to earth guy too.
Always nice to see that a child star has navigated the cesspool of Hollywood and come out the other side as a well rounded human - there’s not too many of them!

Yeah, he's doing as the director in the most time and I think he take a break from the acting. I recently finished The Wonder Years for the first time, then I watched Vice Versa, Little Monsters, etc. He was one of the best child actors from the '80s/'90s.

I just miss him being an actor, but I'm so glad that he went on to have really successful and happy life, as other actors from TWY as well.
