17 for 17. The Wonder Years stole it's premise, structure and humor from the radio legend
Jean Shepherd. Shep wrote the great movie The Christmas Story.
If you never read his books or heard his radio show, the Christmas Story alone should tell
you how The Wonder Years stole from him.
Read his classic In God We Trust All Others Pay Cash, which the Christmas Story is based on.
Great read for these times when we are stuck at home. Trust me.

15 out of 17. Missed Wonder Years and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
Fun fact: in the Star Trek episode "The Squire of Gothos," the dialogue suggests that the series is set in the 28th century, a timeline later contradicted by... well pretty much everything else in the Star Trek universe.

There is a theory that the Jetsons and Flintstones both existed in the same era - a post-apocalyptic world where people either lived on the ground or in the air. Would explain why they use “modern” devices in the Stone Age and why they celebrate Christmas.

I am surprised that Wonder Years started in the 1960s. I thought it was a solid 1970s show.
I would have remembered F-Troop as it was in the opening song. My bad.

I only knew it was the 1960s because there was an episode in which they were listening to "Sunshine of Your Love" by Cream, a late '60s hit, on a transistor radio.
