  • What's the name of the song playing in the background as kevin is walking to harpers woods? it begins when they find out brian cooper passed.

    ????

  • @dbarbieu Bryan cooper is winnie's brother.

  • who's bryan cooper? o_O

  • @dbarbeau15 its Winnie's older brother, "the cool guy" in the beginning, who told Wayne to quit beating up Kevin.

  • this kinda writing is what the TV was invented for

  • winnie is pretty

  • found it. it's original music from the wonder years by w.g. snuffy walden

  • what is the instrumental music at 3:43 called?

  • Fred Savage is the best actor... (for his time) and made "The Wonder Years" absolutely brillant.

  • Greatest soundtrack for a television series ever.

  • This is television gold. 

  • I really love this serie!! ♥

  • they are so cute together

  • This show is just brilliant. Funny and heartfelt. My mom loves it because she was 12 in 1969 and in 7th grade, just like Kevin. But even today the show holds up. I could relate to it when I was in middle school, and I still enjoy it as an adult

  • this show is so well written, i doubt it would make the air these days.....

  • 1:36 well, that's a F-off look. lol.

  • Comment removed

  • Is it my imagination or is the guy playing the principal trying hard not to laugh at 0:47?

  • ok so i cried

  • i wish i knew a girl like that when i was young...but noooo

  • @werewasyo there were a lot of girls from the wonder years I wish I knew when I was young, but Winnie was a bitch

  • @werewasyo I think thats the point of it what the show tried to do , to make you wanna go back to those days to find that girl like her because I felt the same way .

  • @werewasyo Or alternatively a guy like that

  • @werewasyo damn..so sad..haha

  • @werewasyo yea no kidding

  • i feel a lil teary

  • because of kevin my brother was named KEVIN :) lol

  • Wow... apparently Vladimir Putin was a Jr High principal in 1968

  • why why would any one dilike this WHY its clearly an amaising show thank you for putting this up!

  • winnie was so hot

  • link song 3:23

    //predloji.ru/catalogfiles/724­/127401

  • @157dilin tnx buddy! great song!

  • any one knows what is the name of the instrumental song when kevin is walking with winne at the park at the end of the episode? tnx, much appreciated

  • I remember watching this episode. I was Kevin's age at the time, so my junior high and high school years went side by side with his. Sadly, today's tv shows are written by licentious imbeciles.

  • @watergawbard agreed...cept for the big bang theory that's genius, but this is classic.

  • Comment removed

  • Netflix needs to hurry up and stream this series - great show, thanks for the upload!

  • @ryland20 theyve tried but they have to get permission by the people that made them first

  • the whole series had great music... Nice show and great music. 

  • Jack Aronld, Al Bundy, James Evans, George Jefferson, Red Forman didnt take crap from their kids. We need more dads like this.

  • @2199 so true

  • I remember rushing my homework just so I could watch this show at 8pm. So many memories from this awesome show. Thanks for having it online.

  • i grew up in 80s also..greatest tv show of all time..i miss my youth so much

  • someone must be chopping onions...

  • y isnt this on dvd yet

  • it is

  • it is on dvd

  • The Jets jacket, legendary

  • it was a sad but sweet ending, at least kevin cared about winnie's feelings,

  • If this was junior high, why would Kevin's older brother be there...Keven is in the 7th grade, so that would mean his brother is in the 8th grade? They seem to be more than 1 year apart...

  • @76reliant Like the schools in my hometown Some junior high schools are 7-9th. Wayne was two years older than Kevin, I figured this out during the episode when wayne found a girl friend and wayne wanted to move out and thought he was officially a grown up because he turned 18, and kevin got his license so he was 16. Therefore wanye would have been 9th grade.

  • whats the name of the song at the end?

  • @BKAlternativeRock When a man loves a woman, by percy sledge

  • Man, I miss OLD Nick @ Nite...Happy Days, The Wonder Years, Laverne and Shirley, I Love Lucy...man, I miss TV in the 90s :-/

  • GO GO BOOTS ! LOL :)

  • best show everrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • what is the name of the song from 3:23 till he see winnie

  • @xmikexkurgan did you find out the name of the song you are talking about? i live that song ever since i heard it in the show and i havent find out its name...hope u can tell it to me?

  • Born in 81' grew up watcing this show. I could always relate to his life. Thats why I loved it so much. I'll always remember those Wonder Years....

  • The Wonder Years was the one show my whole family would watch together. I remember bing so sad when it went off the air. Watching this again brings back such good memories. Thank you so much for sharing!

  • @Gabriellaxoxox Ryan cooper was winnie's brother who was fighting in Vietnam.He dies in combat...

  • I am 25 and i am from India.I used to stay in a remote village on a tropical forest during the holidays where my parents worked in the bank.Those days cable TV had just come to india and this was the first show i watched and what a show it was!!.surely the best TV show ever..Just glad to watch the pilot episode again on youtube.Ohh god life has changed but some memroies are forever :).Will buy the DVD of the show as soon as it is available.

  • You cannot write about this show without tears in the eyes.

  • One of the best shows ever!!!

  • what a great show. it had the innocence of being a child but still had the realities of life.

  • Everything about this show is brilliant: The writing, the acting. So poignant and all on the very first episode. This show needs to come out on dvd now!

  • considering the circumstances of that first kiss...i started to tear up...and i'm a guy...lol

  • Why did they have to kill Brian, and so soon?!

  • @Qluvz2beluved - Too show anything can happen just like that. One day you're here and the next day you're gone.. this show was "too real"

  • I always laugh at the way Daniel Stern Says "Pink fishnets and gogo Boots"

  • @Gabriellaxoxox ryan was winnie's older brother, and a guy that kevin looked up to. in the pilot episode (this episode) ryan is on leave before he heads off to vietnam, and at the end it is learned by kevin's and winnie's families that ryan is killed in action.

  • @serpentisma bryan not ryan :)

  • 5:39 wat a playa.

  • So true! Lack of punishment for misdeeds, no teaching of consequences for actions. Overall lack of parental involvement, unstable home environments, decent into a litigious society...the list can go on and on.

  • i wish i was the one kissing winnie!

  • I remember those days. He was right. You could go walking along neighborhood streets at dusk and not worry about anything. Such days never to be seen again. A real shame.

  • @mpbliesener

    Such days like this are gone BECAUSE there is no more corporal punishment. It's a shame kids are passing grades not knowing how to read or behave

  • love this programme, fan of twy, bmw, and also sbtb, just going through the process of downloading this show from rapidshare, they dont make show's like this no more

  • A faculty member can not put his hands on a child like that no more.

  • whats so great about this episode and the show in general is the writing and just how it all plays out. this show was a part of our childhood and an important part at that. Its stunning to remember this is the first episode of the entire series, and to make the audience care about a character we see on screen for oh about 1 minute, as is the case with brian cooper, is astounding. stunning first episode, stunning writing, essential tv show.

  • @musicismylife442 truly, TRULY phenomenal writing, acting everything...i'm 23 now, and i remember this like it was yesterday, that moment that the family learned of brain coopers death made me cry, and the moment that kevin gave winnie his jacket made me remember what that feeling of love felt like back when i was a kid, this show painted life in such an emotionally epic way, as just a child of maybe 4,5 or 6 idk...but the fact that it can still hit home as an adult, is truly amazing...

  • @natedejuggla ... i hear you on all accounts of the wonder years, check my video on YT "1959: LOST COASTLINES", it was inspired by the WY... you might want to read the show more synopsis before watching it .... Ive seen ever WY episode a minimum of 5xs ... my favorite show ever ... take care :)

  • I love this film :) But isnt there 20 more minutes of it?

  • @IadoreMMs 14 to be exact, just look under related videos on the side...

  • "... world peace"

    i choked on my juice. this kid is my hero

  • I went for a Walk It was back when you go Could for a Walk And not End up on a milk Carton!!!! I wish it was still like that today!!! The world has Some SICK people in these days!

  • I loved this show.... and this episode is ...wow

  • @rangerjavi lol. There's always one isn't there?

  • Jack Arnold...you the man

  • Because we know that inside each one of those identical boxes, with its Dodge parked out front and its white bread on the table and its TV set glowing blue in the falling dusk, they were people with stories. They were families bound together in the pain and the struggle of love. There were moments that made us cry with laughter. And there were moments, like that one, of sorrow and wonder.

  • Always loved Kevin's Jacket. Go Jets!

  • LAUGHING OUT LOUD!!!!!! 0:00- 0:30

  • LAUGHING OUT LOUD!!!!!!

  • i cry and cry and cry when she says brian cooper died:(

  • My mom just told me to lookup this show 'cuz she said I'd like it... amazingly I do!

  • I'd have been terrified of Jack Arnold.

    I must say, too, that it's amazing how it's labeled a comedy-drama but it definitely was a great balance!

  • I would have been terrified of Jack Arnold.

  • Mrs. Arnold is a MILF

  • @callmemarc Was thinking the same thing.

  • thats like how it wasnt until 2009 when family guy viewers found out joe and bonnies son kevin died in iraq

  • Yo that kid was lucky as hell Winnys dad died. this way his dad didnt beat him when they found out brian cooper was killed! sick plot twist!!!!!!

  • @icedweebz It was her 19 year old brother...

  • If I'd done that in Junior High:

    1. I would've become the school's "alpha male"

    2. Even the meanest, toughest, kids wouldn't have messed with me again

    I might've gotten kicked out of the school, but so what? There were other schools.

  • This may be the best 22 minutes of television history. I am so glad i got a chance to see this show when it first aired and again this evenining on you tube.

  • i love how there is 0 dislikes. glad for once everyone is one the same page

  • man my heart sank when karen said brian cooper died.

  • @metalofseverance he gets introduced and then killed off. its not like we get to know his character...

  • Dang it! That was my first thought!! I would of done the same thing. I would of thrown the apple !

  • @DonoHigs: I would've thrown the apple, too! The principal was being a jerk. First off, it was just an apple, so I don't know why the principal made such a big deal out of it. Second, he could've asked the kid nicely to not take the apple outside of the cafeteria, but NO; he had to be a jerk about it.

  • @xSisterxGrimmx i agree, why the heck did he have to be such pain about it. plus with how he was grilling kevin, id say he was asking for something to happen with that apple

  • @xSisterxGrimmx Teachers and faculty could be like that then. You did what they told you, period. Especially at that age. If you didn't, they made sure you got the point. "Being nice about it" was not even a concern, and if they embarrassed you in front of a bunch of kids, so be it.

  • @mpbliesenerzz; How awful! Geez...I'm glad I didn't live back then...It figures though. What should I expect from a time period in which corporal punishment was allowed...

  • @xSisterxGrimmx Oh, it wasn't that bad. Just the way things were. Getting "licks" or the paddle, in middle school in the dean's office was pretty common too, among the trouble-making students. I, fortunately, was not among them. lol....I usually stayed out of trouble. We didn't think of it as a bad period. Kids tried to see what they could get away with, just like it's always been. I wouldn't want to be a student today.  It's a much more troubled world we live in now, in many ways.

  • I haven't watched this since it was on tv. I couldn't remember anything about it. I'm so glad that there are episodes on Youtube. I can't believe how powerful the writing is, I actually teared up when they said Brian was dead, a character we know nothing about.

  • I have been wanting to see The Wonder Years for so long now, and my wish finally came true Hub now shows it, but four times a week. I'm going to watch it all over again. I loved this show the whole time it was on, after it went off, there was really nothing decent to see on prime time TV. Now through You Tube, I can see them all if this person was kind enough to get them all.

  • this show is still so damn amazing. makes me sick to see all the filth and bullshit on tv now. worthless fucking tv.

  • This pilot is so good, it really comes out of the gates hard. I know they didn't really develop Brian's character that much before he was killed but the acting from the entire cast makes it believable and poignant all the same.

  • "I'd like to take him home now!"

  • Damn if they sent a nowadays type kid back then they'd be a devil child.

  • Speechless. Thank you, Kennethsmo. It brings the warmth right back into the heart. A time machine is what this show is. Thank you for the ride.

  • Funny how come their car changes into a different make in the same year- they had a station wagon in 1968 in another episode- The Family Car...

  • 5:20

    um....this is akward

  • they do a good job on recreating an everyday life in a suburb in the 1960s

  • that apple throw was legendary lol.

  • uhh ya lady i dont know i hate it when parents jump down the kids throat they arent gonna answer anything when ur asking questions left and right with the father sitting right there cracking his knuckles thinking "im so gonna get this kid" or the principal leaned over in your face thinking "tmrw at skool ur mine" ugh lol sorry reminds me of my own experiance and its a freakin apple!!!! its not like its plastic thats gonna litter the skool

  • @Alwaysbored87123: Exactly! Parents should talk to their kids privately before jumping down their throats.

  • This show may be the best pilot episode in Television series history. If you are wanting to try to create a show that will blow people away, this is the perfect example.

  • This show is amazing, I remember watching it when I was younger. I loved it then and I love it now.

  • Dats one bad ass show I still cry when I see this episode and I'm 40 something

  • @bullstud6969

    Yeah, I got chocked up to, especially when we find out Brian died.. Great first episode, it really grabbed ahold of you and didn't let go. Not to many shows today do that, or care to.

  • now the first kiss was nice and sweet love this seires yall

  • grew up watching the Wonder Years - I was 11 years old when I saw the very first pilot episode aired on ABC...and I still,personally I know to be, one of the best shows on television of all time...

  • Damn, eyes welling up in this final scene.

  • BEST SHOW TO THIS DAY TO EVER BE ON THE AIR. WHAT AN AMAZING FIRST EPISODE.

  • I watched this show when I was young and I loved it. Now, a decade later, I watch it again. It's amazing.

    The narration, amazing.

    The acting, amazing.

    Moments that make you laugh and cry. I LOVE this show. I think I'll pick up the series on DVD.

  • @Swiffers its too bad this show never came out on DVD. i would love to get it also

  • Comment removed

  • @xchrisx115 I may have something for you..

    Look on fygjgc.com

    I'm not sure if this is an official box set release from the producers or not. If you buy it, please let us know how it turns out. :]

  • that is so perfect

  • i miss when television shows had real morals to them, now adays we got crap like Bones and House that ppl seem to love so much, damn

  • world peace lmao

  • I wonder if Winnie slipped Kevin the tongue?

  • how Brian Cooper died?

  • @TeamAutoBots Vietnam War casualty.

  • @importcarfan oh ok thanks

  • I watched this episode as a teen when it came out, and I'm still crying over it to this day. Brilliant!

  • classic nick at nite. love it

  • Kevin's mom is HOT in that pink

  • @qmitch2 alley mills was pretty back then.

  • I think when Kevin was in the principal's office, he should have just ratted Wayne out. This not a situation where nowadays you would look for others to blame, this was an honest situation where Wayne triggered it.

  • That last scene is so beautiful. Far out I haven't watched this show in almost 20 years. I was worried it wouldn't live up to my memories, but it does! I love the use of the old music, it really creates the perfect atmosphere. What a wonderful show.

  • I miss this show a lot. It represented not only the reality of the times of when it was meant to have taken place, but the realities of life as a kid, of those we've encountered, and being a part of a family, which we can all relate to. Thanks for sharing and bringing back memories of when TV still aired shows with intelligent and decent writing the whole family could watch without being racy, violent, rediculously stupid or morally wrong as they are today.

  • ... brilliant.

  • Thanks for posting! Even if they hadn't heard of the family friend's death in 'Nam, I don't think they'd show Kevin being spanked by his father for misbehaving at school. Spanking scenes on Tv were becoming more & more rare as the 70's became the 80's. Due I'm sure in a large part to the growing feeling that CP was "politically incorrect".

  • @JubalCalif What's wrong with cheese pizza?

  • @chalie091892

    Nothin' is wrong with cheese pizza...it's what comes afterwards that I find distressting...when they start to "cut the cheese"....when that happens, one wants some musical background, such as "The Whoopee Cushion Serenade" by Freddie Flatulence & his Five Hot Toots (it's a GAS, man!). If only NASA would send up an astronaut who's also a proctologist...then maybe they'd finally found out if there really are rings around Uranus!!!

  • I used to watch wonder years with my brother in brazil, back in the day.. and to see it again after all these years just brings back wonderful memories..

    It's a show about nostalgia and it's exactly how I feel.. nostalgic..

  • @aycharecife I feel the same way... I'm from Brazil too.

  • Just wow.

    How great is a show like The Wonder Years and how appropriate is it for those that shared in the joys and the sorrows of their lives that were expressed in magnitude throught the series.

    This is what it's all about people. Not the latest reality fad where contestants are forced to see who can eat the grossest thing or the next block buster with the most high def explosion in surround sound. But something that people can actually relate to. Not just in then, but even now.

  • The apple!

  • God this was so long ago. Its like watching it for the first time.

  • Beautiful.

  • i love show and i use to watch it on tv every night untill they stop showning it.

  • lol world peace

  • Pink Fishnets and GoGo Boots! Freakin hillarious!!!
