Summary

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. In season 2, Kevin confronts the day-to-day pressures of junior high school life. Kids don't know what they want, and the girls are just as confused as the boys. On the home front, older brother Wayne 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 and Winnie Cooper to stop developers from destroying Harper's Woods, the site of many happy childhood memories.
