(re)watching

Off of the suggestion of a co-worker, I’ve been rewatching the Wonder Years, and by rewatching, I think I mean watching for the first time, as I really don’t think I ever watched it the first time around. We weren’t a big TV  family, so I feel like there’s a bunch of stuff from the 80s / 90s that I missed. Its characters are familiar like people I went to middle school with but I’m pretty sure I never actually hung out with them. But they are my NEW FAVORITE PEOPLE. They’re all trying so hard just to live and relate to each other, they’re all a little right and a little wrong, there’s always a little sadness, a little longing, and always a hope at the end, and meanwhile, it is all so very subtle, and even a little bit weird. Has there ever been better TV other than of course M*A*S*H and also Little House on the Prairie the Nellie Years and also Lois and Clark staring Dean Cain and Terri Hatcher and also seasons 1-3 of Touched by an Angel and the other things the Brunstetters randomly DID watch together as a family?  I THINK NOT. BUT I REALLY WOULDN’T KNOW AS THAT’S BASICALLY ALL OF THE TV I’VE EVER SEEN.
