My So Called Life and The Wonder Years
Posted: Oct 22nd 2003, 12:37 pm
Are my two favorite television shows of all time. Maybe I'm a fan of teen angst. I think it's because both were very funny and moving in the same episode and felt real. Anyway there are many similiarites, same ideas for storylines but they go different ways but start the same.
- Both are about teens, in different time periods, but both have the same feel to me, just different clothes and different times.
- Both have an episode about having zit, and both episodes are called The Zit, and both are dramatic points for the characters.
- Both have storylines where main characters do Our Town and its both very dramatic for reasons not having to do with the play, Winnie Does it with Kevin operating the light with her divorced parents in the audience and Winnie hopes this could bring them together, and of course reyanne does it when she's apologizing for Jordan and saying goodbye to Angela.
- Both have an episode that revolves around a guy asking out another girl but wanting to ask another girl and then the second girl asks him out and he dumps the first girl then feels guilty, Krakow with delia but wanted Angela, and Wonder Years did it about twenty times, winnie and he go on double dates, one where his science partner likes him and he agrees to go with her then asks another girl, they did it a lot.
- Both have a main character helping a guy to get with a girl who he wants to be with, Krakow with Jordan and Angela, and Kevin with Kirk McCrae and Winnie, in the famous "Does she like me, like me, or just like me?" episode.
- Both have things that they don't reveal to the audience but always giving clues, wonder years had never naming the town and other things, and mscl had many things like that, tino for example.
- Both got cancelled
Now I understand these are generally plots of teenager shows but still as I'm watching mscl every episode reminds me of wonder years while still being very unique on it's own.
