The wonder years : Synopsis, Pictures, Photos, Trivia, Filming Locations

. Inspired by A Christmas Story (1983).

. While Daniel Stern was the narrator for the series, Arye Gross was the narrator for the pilot episode.

. The house used for exterior shots of the home in the opening sequence as well as various points throughout the show's run is 516 University Ave., Burbank, California.

. In the last show, the narrator tells us that Paul went on to study law at Harvard, that Karen has her baby and that he looks like Kevin, that Norma goes on to become a board chairman and that Wayne takes over the family furniture business after Jack passes away two years later. Kevin and Winnie write to each other every week for the eight years after she leaves for France to study art history. When she returns, Kevin is married and has a son. Kevin realizes that nothing turns out how you plan, but that his memories of childhood will be with him forever.

. Part of the show's running storyline is a falling-out between Kevin and Winnie, who becomes a background character for several months, until she and Kevin reconcile. The main reason for this part of the storyline was that actress Danica McKellar had had a growth spurt, and she and star Fred Savage, already shorter than McKellar, didn't look right standing together. The characters reconciled after Savage began to catch up in height.
