It's a big victory for Netflix, and after everything they've done lately, I'd say they really needed a victory. What am I talking about you may ask? I'm talking about The Wonder Years, now available for your streaming pleasure on netflix watch instantly. All 6 glorious, adolescent-heartache-filled seasons chalk full of Kevin Arnold, Winnie Cooper and Paul Pfeiffer are now available to view anytime!
The only thing that doesn't seem to be the same as the old tv episodes is the opening credits song "A Little help from my Friends," sung by Joe Cocker. They clearly weren't able to obtain the rights to the original version so they've replaced it with a less appealing recording, but nevertheless, its still thrilling to me that I can watch every episode of my favorite show in perfect clarity on my computer anytime I want. It's Wonderful!
And in celebration of the Wonder Years' new availability, here are some pictures from a recent trip the boy and I made over to the location of Kevin Arnold's house on the show. I was elated at the site of the actual location...I just didn't want to make too much of a fuss and bother the current owners, so I tried to stay cool. Not sure I was all that successful! ;)

Hahaha, that's so cool!!!!!
Where is the real kevin arnold house actually located?? town?state?
I actually own the whole series, I bought it a few years ago off a site called Ioffer.com kinda like an Ebay. my version has the real joe cocker song attached since well I bought the series off someone that copied it from taped tv shows :)
The house is located in Burbank California. It's up on a hill and looks pretty much the same as it did in the show. I believe it was on first street but I don't totally remember. I'd have to double check! :)
Im going to make my way over to take a picture in front of the house this weekend, and now since i seen your pictures i want to check out that thrift store as well to see if i can find a jacket though im sure not to many actually pass through there. Do you remember what the price was by chance incase I do spot one?
