The Wonder Years
Ben Savage may have made Boy Meets World a big hit (which is another really great show for teachable moments, btw), but it was his older brother that first wowed TV audiences. Fred Savage played Kevin Arnold, the youngest of three siblings in a middle-class American family. Arnold’s character narrated each episode, giving an introspective understanding into the mind of a young boy. Even the theme song still gets me choked up, instantly catapulting me to my parent’s basement where I’d eat Cool Ranch Doritos and watch the show with my older brothers. Everyone knew of a guy like Wayne and there was always that girl like Winnie, not to mention a friend like Paul. The characters made for quality programming that made you sob, laugh, and reflect on your own life, and with a dad like Jack Arnold there was always quality entertainment.
