David Schwimmer on 'The Wonder Years'

[@fridafernie9332]

I knew him as Michael before Ross. I had a crush on him on that show and then on Friends too. Luv his smile n hair too lol!!

[@thetruth3316]

Mike Ross from suits

[@arunicahom-choudhury1641]

I preferred him as Ross in FRIENDS.

[@shilpa88888]

Love this show. I miss comedies, shows from late 80's and 90's. :(

Me too.

David Schwimmer was a great actor back then, as were all the cast of "Friends", as you can see when you see snippets of their earlier acting jobs before "Friends!

Jack Arnold has to have been one of the strongest/wisest tv dads of All time. If you look at his wiki it shows that he was a Captain in the U.S.A Marines that fought in the Vietnam war. I salute you Mr. Daniel Joseph Lauria for your services. God Bless America 🇺🇸

@@SecondStage1983 I think he's talking about the actor Dan Lauria. Lauria fought in Vietnam. His character Jack Arnold fought in Korea.

[@Jeffari1]

Haha coolest dad ever. "Work's work." One time Kevin asked him about his job like what do you do dad? "I wake up at 5 o' clock in the morning each day, I fight traffic, I bust my ass all day, I fight traffic again, and I come home.. Then, I pay my taxes."

"The one where Michael can't connect with Jack"

[@gmoney113]

Jack Arnold the most underrated character in the history of TV

[@knucklehoagies]

A lot of the comments in here don’t really get the scope of this episode. It’s not really about “daddy’s little girl being taken away.” It’s about how different moral standards were back then compared to today.... back then living together before marriage was seen as this horribly immoral thing that just wasn’t ever done. Karen’s attitude represented how the baby boomers rebelled against those traditions and Jack represented the WWII generation that clung hard to tradition and didn’t understand any other point of view. Notice how Jack only decides to accept Michael after they decide to officially marry.

[@brianticas9572]

Some people still believe that. I dated a 45 year old Russian women last year that said no sex unless we get married. I said no thanks.

[@missbleach8767]

[@PoBoyRacing80]

Exactly! You hit the nail on the head with your comment!

[@joemckim1183]

The old guard just concerned them with a bunch of stuff that didn't really matter.

[@natedoggcata]

This is also seen in the episode where Jack screams at Norma "THIS HOUSE NEEDS PEPSI!" People think its funny but dont understand the scope of the scene. When we says "this house needs pepsi" hes not talking about actual Pepsi. This was a time when gender roles were set in stone so hes really saying "this house need you to be a good housewife" because Norma was taking pottery lessons at the time.

[@laminage]

Olivia's Father was in Manfred Mann whose probably known for their Hit Do Wah Diddy. It was "originally" done by The Exciters who had the Hit "Tell Him". I had no idea that Olivia was British. She did an amazing US Accent. In England there's a School called Royal Academy Of Dramatic Arts and I think they do dialect lessons. Robert Reed (Mike Brady The Brady Bunch) Tamara Braun (Days Of Our Lives & All My Children) and Ray McConnell (All My Children) also studied there.

[@SaskatchewanICE]

I always thought it was kinda sweet how Kevin was trying to help Michael

[@thebandseabright]

Poor Kevin. He was trying to surprise everyone by treating them to dinner.

[@robinbrown2256]

He should have gone and paid in advance. I've done that before, but I always snuck to the front and left my card with them so they just run it when the check came.

It’s not really about that. The episode is supposed to portray the culture back then and how the concept of living together before marriage was seen. Back in the 50s and 60s it was a serious no no.

[@ef7558]

Back in the '50s and 60s they also had segregation and they forced religion on children in the public school system.

[@danielsteele4712]

You're absolutely right, Karen. Your dad IS stubborn and pig-headed, especially since he had to drag Kevin along to help renovate the house when he could see full well that Michael was a carpenter and could save them an entire bunch of work. Not everyone has to be a builder to be helpful. I'm sure that Wayne was pleased to not have to be dragged along to help out as well.

[@danielsteele4712]

Yeah, I know it is. I just felt like being dramatic myself.

[@brianticas9572]

Maybe jack wanted a higher expectations of a boyfriend for Karen. Every parent wants the best.

being the hippie he could get away with it--Kevin and Wayne are the ones who could not.

[@2up3rm4n1]

@@robinorlowski9045 he's not a hippie. He's grunge. Hippie was late sixties, grunge was late eighties, when this show came out. In no way shape or form is he a hippie. Find me any appearance on Brady Bunch or Partridge Family where one of the boys is wearing the unbuttoned flannel top like that. For that matter, find a flannel shirt at any video of Woodstock, Haight-Ashbury or any other hippie gathering. Even then, that won't make it commonplace or as 'trendy' as it was for grunge.

[@robinorlowski9045]

@@2up3rm4n1 Grunge was early 1990's.....i'd consider Mike Stivic far more representative of a Hippie than Keith Patridge.

Liked American Dreams better re 1960's. It was far more political. Kevin wasn't the political one in the family.

[@2up3rm4n1]

@@robinorlowski9045 Uh, correct! The show, which was supposed to be depicting the late sixties, is very inaccurate, with Schwimmer looking like someone from the late eighties, early nineties, grunge, essentially the same time and era (the show began in '88, but whenever the flannel shirt became so equated with grunge, it didn't just pop up with January 1, 1990 or '91. Just another Hollywood show trying to show another time and era, but blowing it mainly with present day fashions. Even still, grunge or hippie look is a fashion, not a mindset. There were greater hippies back in the early seventies than Mike Stivic, but we were talking about appearances, fashion equated with the era. Stivic rarely sported the garish attire equated with the early seventies. He was usually in blue jeans and a solid colored shirt. The 'grunge' look was not sported by hippies. And definitely not the way Schwimmer is showing it here.

I didn't see the whole series. But I wonder if Jack's dad had been there. Maybe he would've said, "Jack, I don't see why you've got such a problem with Michael. He seems like an okay guy to me." Jack would probably say, "Just stay out of it, Dad."

[@alexanderpytko5394]

Jack is all excited about the ratchet set and then becomes unappreciative when he hears that it was Michael's idea. That's being a little cold.
