Production The Wonder Years

This series was contained by writers Neal Marlens and Carol Black. They departed to make a family show that would attract the Baby-Boomer generation by setting a series in the late 60s, the time of radical change in American history. They also want this series to bind this arrangement with the lives of normal boys who grow up during that period. After writing a script for the pilot episode, Marlens and Black began to throw series on the television network. None of them were interested, except ABC, with whom Marlens and Black reached an agreement.

CastingThe Wonder Years

The fifth of them recommended Fred Savage, who at that time was famous for his role as the grandson of Princess Bride and as Charlie/Marshall on the contrary. Marlens and Black, who have never heard of Savage, decided to see the rough pieces on the contrary.
