Anything with Fred Savage is like watching a childhood friend you haven’t seen in years walk into a room.

Fred is great!!! I'm so glad he was one of the lucky ones who was a child star and grew up normal.

[@trailblazer77]

Mj touched fred.. That's why he so giggly and hehehe

[@dylanjones268]

@@trailblazer77 If that did happen, it's unfortunate but being a child star they were targets. Aside from Deadpool, the guy has been out of the spotlight for some time. Plus I don't like to think bad things happened to people without knowing if a bad thing happened to them. I did notice his giggling and hehe's but I'll chalk that up to nerves... that or he could be that happy, in which case all the power to him.

[@KingoftheJuice18]

@@trailblazer77 Uh, no. It doesn't work that way. People who are sexually abused don't get happier and more upbeat from it. This is just Fred's personality, and it's great.

@@banglore7250 It's not quick. He's been around for a very long time in the business and has a very normal life and family. You can suspect anyone without evidence, if that's how you want to operate, because it's not just celebrities who are involved in MeToo--they just get more attention.

I was in Burbank the other day and I had to drive by The Wonders Years house. That neighborhood has not changed a bit. It's like a time warp back to the 1960s. Fred Savage was a big part of my childhood.

God Fred is so good in interviews, he's so animated and constantly keeps the flow going, dude should be the host of a talk show, he'd be a natural.

[@mandypandy2911]

I love Fred Savage. I think his energy was great, its a refreshing change of pace from the celebrities who come and sometimes seem bored with the whole thing, even if they're funny. Also the Fred Savage interview on Chris Hardwicks Nerdist podcast is one of the funniest things Ive heard. Hes such a gem.
