Honestly I really didn't like the first season or two, but hung in there and the show grew on me. Seasons 5 and 6 are much better... and then the downhill rollercoaster ride.

Season 10, sucks. Season 9 was meh.

Really, the show should have ended at Adams graduation or, when he created the video to replace the messed up football video. That was a crowning achievement of his schooling; and would have been a good ending.

At this point, just kill it. It's done. You know it is done when they stopped putting the video clips at the end. This was a clear indication that they ran out of source material and were just making things up; and it is not working. Getting rid of the Dad was stupid (even in reality it seemed that way) and really just plunges the show into obscurity.

If it had ended earlier; my rating would have been higher, but I have to cover the entire show, not just what I enjoyed.

I came to this show because of Jeff Garlin from Curb.

And I thought a show like the wonder years but closer to my decade would be awesome.

And I enjoyed it.

It is not the most hilarious show ever.

I definitely had a few laugh out loud moments. But its not just that. This show is something nice to watch without having violence or disturbing themes like many shows today.

This is one of those shows that can give you a break from shows like the walking dead, which are awesome, but can sometimes do your head in.

The 80's references don't annoy me like they have other viewers because I grew up in the 90s. And that is why I think they have so many, because it is not made just for people who were there.

I think people who grew up in the 80s enjoy this show the least.

But everyone should give it a go.

I am glad I did.

A late (2nd season) quick review.

This is a very good family sitcom based on the actual life of its writer when he was a teenager. The presentation of the show is using the narration of an older version of himself with emphasis in the specific characteristics of the 80s that leaves a nostalgic feeling for the era.

No fake laughs (live or prerecorded) here.

Exceptional casting. True to life situations. Funny in a good way (without being ridiculous or vulgar like other comedies out there). Honest to the heart.

In a sentence: Watch it and you wont be disappointed!

I have to admit, that when I watched the first episode of this show, it reminded me so much of The Wonder Years that it was distracting. That being said, after episode 2 and 3, I hardly notice the narration. I think the first episode had a ton more narration because of character introductions and such, but 2 and 3 have gotten progressively funnier, and all of the 80's nostalgia is very endearing to me.

I grew up in the 80's, and this show hit's the nail on the head! The characters are believable and relate-able, the writing is very cohesive and well thought out, and the acting is very convincing and hilarious. I found myself laughing out loud over and over again.

Don't listen to all the haters. Give this show a shot and you won't be disappointed.

This was a once great show, especially for anyone who was in their youth in the 80's.

Now the writing is terrible and the characters aren't even likeable anymore. The show is just stale.

The death of George Segal should have been the end of the show.
