The wonder years 107-109

I held off on watching these episodes not because I'm getting towards the end of the series and I wish there was a 7th season

Anyways the 1st episode was centered around Jeff(giovani ribisi), kevin emphasizes his attitude and and mehness about life. Yeah it's not a real word but it's my blog not english class. He has a picture of a girl named juile in his locker but kevin thinks she's not real. At lunch winnie introduces a new girl(ann) to kevin and asks him if he knows any guys he can set them up as a couple. I'm not sure why but there is always a new girl in kevin's town and he always says the same "so how do you like it here" line. Jeff sits down to eat with his pals and he hits it off with ann. The 4some go to play mini golf and jeff suddenly has to leave in the middle of the "date". The next day he ditches school leaving kevin with a new lab partner. Kevin finds him at his apartment(with a pool) where jeff wants him to drive him to see juile in his old hometown(yeah jeff also is a new kid). Jeff leaves out the fact it's 110 miles away but kevin still drives him. At jeff's town kevin realizes that jeff is frustrated with leaving his old life behind. Jeff breaks up with julie(it was more touching in the episode) and the next day jeff starts his new life. He unpacks and puts more effort with ann.  Throughout this episode there is a running gag where jack tells kevin he needs to buy fastners for the gutters. Kevin keeps putting it off and at the end he just tells jack he loves him

The 2nd episode I saw was pretty forgettable and seems forced. Kevin is pretty good at wrestling during gym class so he draws the attention of mr clean(not the real one but it makes it more exciting). He invites kev to training sessions for the team. Kevin turns into an angsty 13 year old and complains about everything and doesn't try and makes excuses. Mr clean has had enough so he challenges kevin when they are alone and this puts kevin on the team. The day of the match kevin takes an early lead but he ended up losing in a blow out of points. However he doesn't get pinned which earns the respect of mr clean.


The 3rd episode I saw was also forgettable. Kevin's friends make a reappearance after vanishing in the past 2 episodes. Chuck is lonely and wants a date as he realizes he is a loser(his words). To plot convenience and because apparently there is a new kid every few episodes, there is a new girl in kevin and chuck's class. She's pretty and nice but has one big flaw. She has a huge nose but this doesn't bother chuck .There is a big scene where people make fun of her while she gives a presentation and chuck makes excuses to not take her to a dance then suddenly wants to take her. At the dance she takes a different guy as he got inspired by her presentation and saw past her nose
