- No subtitles apparently
- Fun fact, the narrator is Marv aka the wet bandit from Home Alone
- its weird,
thinking about the show,
my memory says it was on at 6pm on a sunday,
I'd have just had a bath and was dreading school the next day,
and I can still smell my mums tumble dryer.
talk about wonder years! - I still think it was marilyn manson
- Absolute bargain! I've already got the boxset and it is still almost as wonderful as i remember it being as a kid in the 80's
- Loved this back in the day
- One of the best children's TV shows from back in the day.
- Over 20 years to come to DVD ( copyright issues) 14 songs had to be "replaced".UK DVD release was supposed to have had ALL original songs but reports suggest otherwise. (edited)

i thought it was just me,
it really hasn't been very easy to track down given its age and popularity.
you'd think the bbc had did it!
prob about ten years ago I met a guy who had imported the box set, that I couldn't find here.
he did my a dvdrip copy but it was awful quality, like poor vhs.
I always thought it was dvdrip that was the problem, maybe not?
especially with what Feargal has said in the comments above.
has to be more to this, like i said it's def marilyn manson (google "wonder years, marilyn manson " if you dont know)
and Fred Savage? every other child star is a raging drunk or druggie!
the daz doorstep challenge only wishes it could be as clean as him!- Quick, before they “modernise” it

The original was shot on 16mm film, and then transferred to NTSC tape for editing. The 16mm film gives it a period look and wasn't super sharp to begin with, but does mean that in theory a new scan of the original film is possible. Not sure if it still exists though, maybe in an archive somewhere, and it would need the accompanying notes to re-do the editing work. They did it for Star Trek TNG, but it was expensive and time consuming.
So for now the this is the best we are likely to get. NTSC tape transferred to DVD, with all the resolution and colour compromises that comes with.- I’ll get buy with a little help from my friends
- Hot but I don't need this anymore.
I can get by with a little help from my friends (edited) - Really cheap. Great find!
- Nowhere near me :-(

Might depends on who is actually releasing the DVD
"On May 9, 2016, Fabulous Films released The Wonder Years - The Deluxe Edition on 26 DVDs in the UK. It was intended to be the first release to contain every episode in its original transmission presentation, although in the end this did not happen.[36] The set includes over 23 hours of bonus material." ( WIKI)
Not sure what is happening with the Deluxe edition on amazon for £75...running time is less than 9 minutes extra so pay extra £55 for less than 9 minutes extras, something not quite right there. Box art must be gold lined- Amazing show. Can't believe they've gone and remade it!
- Anybody who bought care to comment on picture quality? Bought it years ago from region 1 ,but picture quality is just plain awful. Wonder if this is any better.

That's a shame. It means it was either shot on VHS or nobody cares about restoring it.- Author

In going by memory but I think the broadcast picture was soft back in the day as with certain soap operas and other programmes. But being so long ago and not yet owning this set cant say for sure really.- I think you've linked the wrong YouTube trailer.
- thought-provoking show - real gem .
- Nearest one to me is 78 miles away.
Would love this, but too far. - kevin and winnie in the barn episode, did they....ermmm
- For some reason I had this memory that the show and cast is older than it is... The real life Kevin isn't much older than me! He's only 45!!!

Exactly same for me -79 miles away and have been wanting this for years but not prepared to pay ridiculous prices for it.- Is available to download in a certain place
- Is the wonder years on Netflix or any other streaming service?
Brings me back to my childhood where you get 4 simple TV channels with amazing shows. Roseanne is another show I loved - Well the only place I can see that has one is Ely. Classic show, but I don't know if I could watch 116 episodes of it, or anything. (edited)
- Bleh, maybe you can find these from other sources given that this will be in PAL chipmunk-o-vision...
