Summary: The WORST DVD ever made!
Review: Don't waste your money! This DVD is simply awful. The picture and sound quality are both very poor, worse than any VHS that I have (Some of those are 15 years old!). The DVD only has 2 complete episodes and some clips from some of the others. I bought this as a gift, but ended up throwing it away because it was so poor.

Summary: The Worst of the Wonder Years
Review: I am not necessarily referring to the content, although this DVD hardly rates as a "Best of" this wonderful series. Certainly, the finale episode was one of the best, but there were so many episodes (or parts thereof) that were ignored. Do not waste your money or your time. The quality of this DVD is horrid; I agree with another reviewer who said it looks like it was transferred from a tape. Actually, the qualify is not even that good. This series deserves a first-class DVD tratment, produced by someone who appreciates the series and really understands what "best of" this series was all about. This is a very rank attempt by Laser Light to cash in on the fact that the series was being featured on Nick at Nite. If you recorded the series on videotape, as I and many others did, PLEASE save your tapes. (Thank God I did!) Avoid this DVD, even (and maybe especially) if you are a TWY fan; if you buy this DVD, you are only encouraging companies like Laser Light to continue to rip us and other off. Let us hope that TWY will one day be produced on DVD in a manner befitting of one of the best series on TV ever.

Summary: not what I expected
Review: I bought this DVD expecting various episodes which were together the best of the Wonder Years. What I found was 70 minutes of dissapointment. The first dissapointment was that there was only 70 minutes of footage. The second dissapointment was that this was actually made up of 1 highlights episode and the series finale. Don't get me wrong, the finale was great, but not what I considered a 'best' episode however they did not exactly go to any trouble to edit some great Wonder Years moments and instead just put a highlight episode on there..as I said, not exactly what I expected

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very Disappointing
Review: I expected "the best of" to include something besides one "look back", the "last episode" and the "final episode".

This was NOT worth the money AT ALL.

Summary: Worst DVD quality I've ever seen
Review: I got this DVD in the hope that I could replace one or two VHS tapes from my collection. After seeing it, I'll certainly keep the tapes around. The picture is grainy as if it had been taped from a station with poor reception.

As for the DVD contents, I wouldn't call this 'the best'. I have watched every episode from the wonder years, and while I admit it has one of the best finales from the history of TV (in my opinion, obviously), there were other episodes that deserved to make the best.

Also, the DVD only has 71 minutes. They could at least fill it up. The pilot would have been nice to have, maybe a few minutes with the scenes of the now famous guest stars, or a small 'where are they now' of the cast...something that makes a difference with a home made collection.

In short: If you have the episodes on tapes, don't buy this DVD. If you are going to buy a new DVD player and want to check its picture quality, don't buy this DVD. Of course if you like good TV and don't care much about anything else, well, the wonder years was a great show.

Summary: The Wonderful Wonder Years
Review: I seriously miss this show, and this DVD lets me watch my favorite episodes (114/115). I was always dissapointed with the way the show ended, but I love the show and feel deeply connected to it.

Summary: Wonder Years - The all time best TV show
Review: I think the Wonder Years is the all time best TV show and have watched and loved every episode. I would like to have the entire show on DVD, but sadly, it is not available to the best of my knowledge. I really loved this DVD and have watched it over and over again, and continue to do so. However, having just one DVD of the Wonder Years does not do justice to the show. The show touched me a lot as it made me very nostalgic about my growing up years, and to get a true feel for the show, you need to watch the whole thing. That for me, would be a perfect vacation. Just watch the show from beginning to end. Sadly, that is not possible right now, but maybe soon.....

Summary: The best of the wonder years
Review: I totally disagree with the bad comments of this cd. The quality of the cd i received was excellent, the editing was fine, and of course, it brought back a lot of good memories. I bought this dvd from amazon.com along with the other wonder years cd and they arrived in perfect order, before the time they thought it would. I think that the quality of the footage that people are referring to, is the lines that can be seen on the show's opening credits, this was how they intended it to look, i recall 10 years ago when it was shown on tv looking like that.
