Season Six finds Kevin and his friends coping with the challenges of high school. He joins the wrestling team, gets conned by the goof-offs he hires to paint his teacher’s house, and preps for the SAT with Paul (Josh Saviano) and Winnie (Danica McKellar). In the Arnold household, the men endure their annual fishing trip, Norma (Alley Mills) gets a high-paying job, Jack (Dan Lauria) is frustrated by a lukewarm evaluation at work and tries to start his own business, and Wayne (Jason Hervey) has a new girlfriend—who’s 23, divorced, and has a baby.

For six seasons, The Wonder Years captured the angst of growing up in suburban middle-class America in the late '60s, as seen through the life and times of Kevin Arnold (Fred Savage). Audiences eagerly followed his evolution as a typical teenager who remembered every moment of his transition from childhood with excruciating detail and remarkable hindsight. Season 5 finds Kevin entering McKinely High, where the social scene centers on the school cafeteria. He goes out for soccer, holds down a hardware store job, and gets his driver's license.

Entering his last year at Kennedy Junior High, Kevin should have it all figured out, but things don t go as smoothly as he had hoped - Winnie is going to school across town, he gets decked by Becky Slater (again!), and is faced by a new challenge in French class the sweet talking, mousse-making Madeline. There s also tension at home as Jack gets a new position that takes him on the road, Norma starts work at Kevin s school, and Wayne and Kevin battle it out for Karen s room.

The education of Kevin Arnold accelerates in Season 3. He gets his first French kiss during an otherwise forgettable family vacation at the beach, and once back in school, he goes to his first make-out party.

In Season 2, Kevin confronts the day-to-day pressures of junior high school life. Kevin's older brother Wayne (Jason Hervey) continues his bullying ways, but Kevin fights back and grows some backbone. His inner strength is tested when he participates in a class walkout to protest the Vietnam War, and joins his pals Paul Pfeiffer (Josh Saviano) and Winnie Cooper (Danica McKellar) to stop developers from destroying Harper's Woods, the site of many happy childhood memories. Re-pave paradise and put up a…mall? The show achieved a spot in the Nielsen Top 30 for four of its six seasons.
