And that was a million years ago. So, you're right, Liz.

Interesting that it was also Phil Collins; I wonder what the reaction was at the time to PC allowing his songs to be used on TV. Was it visionary? Or just wanting to make money?<BR/><BR/>Keri, The Wonder Years, I totally forgot about that one, and music was critical to it. OK, I'm depressed now that Combat is available on DVD and this isn't. Nothing against Combat, but wow. It's just not right that Wonder Years isn't being made.Liz Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16671844475303001610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12461652.post-1136671072284488802006-01-07T16:57:00.000-05:002006-01-07T16:57:00.000-05:00Wonder YearsThat's the reason it'll probably never...Wonder Years<BR/><BR/>That's the reason it'll probably never come to DVD despite being one of the top requests of obsessive DVD collectors.
