I lost my father last Summer, 7 months just after my son was born and 7 months right after he and my mom got a black lab puppy. At least he got to die a grandfather. I always think back to this show ending with how my life turned out. Definitely makes me yearn for having more time with him and how things used to be. Things just feel different now without him around. Enjoy your parents while you can. It really does go so fast.
No matter when you watch this, what time of day, what year, what month, seeing this sequence will always get you right in the nostalgic feels, and I am all for it. Funny, as you watch this when you’re a bit older you realize how deep this entire scene was..here’s to those days, never forget em’
It was a bittersweet conclusion to a coming-of-age saga. This show occupied a strange niche in American sitcoms. It wasn't quite a comedy; it wasn't quite a drama. It was simply a memory of a time that once was. A story of youth, of family, of love, loss, and life. It was a story about us.
“In fact, he took over the factory two years later…when dad passed away” - My dad died when I was 14 years old. Heart Attack right in front of me. His name was Jack. This hits home every time. I am now a 40 year old man, and I have a son... named Jack. Hug the ones you love. My mom passed away a few years ago from Covid. I miss the old times. But now I'm the Dad. Love to all.
Great memories of watching this series and final episode with my father as a kid. We didn’t always see things eye-to-eye growing up. Looking back, he taught me priceless life lessons and advice I still live by to this day. 🙂
Also I had no idea that Doo Wa Diddy was originally done by The Exciters of "Tell Him" Fame. Sadly they didn't get paid because they didn't write the songs. I first heard about them when I saw a documentary called Girl Groups The Story Of A Sound. What is happening with Fred Savage, he's gone incognito for quite awhile.
This makes me cry so hard 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭. I really wanted Kevin and Winnie to end up together . Also R.I.P. Jack Arnold . My foster father is still alive . He just reached 89 years old
I had no idea that Oliva D'Abo was british in real life until much later, and her Father was in Manfred Mann. Also it was so cool that no matter what, Paul, Kevin & Winnie all remained friends for 13 years. I wished they had done a Two Hour Movie like School's Out, I always missed out on seeing them "Graduate".
"I was there to meet her when she came home....with my wife and first son..." I remember being heart broken as a child when these two didn't end up together. It was my first teaser that life turns out so differently than we imagine it.
Writing Winnie all those years and you couldn’t send Cara a simple Christmas card lol…I feel in a million years Winnie would never marry Kevin, kept him just close enough to hang on to…
