I can comfortably say that I watched a lot of The Wonder Years when I was younger. I thought I pretty much saw every single episode. Either I really hadn’t, I really don’t remember everything as vividly as I thought I did, or maybe both.
Seeing Kevin Arnold get cockblocked or fuck up with girls is nothing out of the ordinary throughout the entire course of the show, but there’s absolutely no coming back from this one.
Not only does Kevin Arnold get cockblocked, but he gets cockblocked by none other than fucking Zack Morris. I had no idea that Mark-Paul Gosselar ever had an appearance in The Wonder Years. And to no surprise, Zack Morris absolutely dominates in his brief cameo in The Wonder Years. Not only does he look like he’s six years older then Kevin Arnold, but he just straight nuclear cockblocks Kevin Arnold, right in front of him. That’s some gutsy shit right there.
Honestly, the series could have saved itself a lot of trouble right then and there, and at that very moment where Kevin Arnold scrunches his face, just hit the Good Morning, Miss Bliss theme, and begin the journey towards Saved by the Bell.
Then we don’t have to put up with the endless dragging on of Winnie Cooper eventually settling with Kevin Arnold, and if Paul doesn’t have to work, he could have become Marilyn Manson way sooner. And Jason Hervey could have flourished at an even earlier age and cashed in WCW way sooner. And Saved by the Bell gets a few extra seasons, everyone’s a winner thanks to this epic cockblocking.
