I read this story by Christine Flowers of the Philadelphia Daily News the other day and it got me thinking. Does President Obama have his priorities in order?Flowers leads with a quick list of important issues the Obama administration is currently faced with: North Korea preparing to set the Western world ablaze, some election thingy in Iran, and sick people in the U.S. And of course the subject of Flowers' story is the pressure the gay community is putting on the President to allow benefits for same-sex couples.
Whether or not you agree with Flowers' position, I think she is forgetting something even more important than anything written in her story: the fact that we cannot buy The Wonder Years on DVD.
Pretty ridiculous, right? More than 16 years after the airing of the series finale, the best show in TV history cannot be purchased.
Because of the high costs of securing music rights, the show was never released as official season box sets. Only two "best of" DVD's of The Wonder Years exist, minus the awesome music from the original episodes, which helped make the show as good as it was.
What makes this even worse is that I can't find syndicated episodes anywhere. It's like how China censors the internet, only way bigger. Why are our leaders depriving us of Kevin and his Jets jacket?
America needs to change its priorities. America needs more Winnie Cooper and it needs her now. Let's start the revolution.
I love The Wonder Years, and I still get upset when I think about the fact that Kev and Winnie didn't end up together. She just couldn't resist the seductive lifestyle of a vacation resort lifeguard. Slut.
