'The Wonder Years' reunion: Cast reunites for DVD release

LOS ANGELES -- Kevin Arnold and Winnie Cooper are together again!

The stars of the hit 1960s-themed, notalgia-filled, coming-of-age drama series "The Wonder Years," which aired between 1988 and 1993, reunited recently for the first time in 16 years to help promote the release of the hit show on DVD later this year.

Josh Saviano, who played nerd Paul Pfeiffer, tweeted several photos from the event, which shows him and other former cast members such as main star Fred Savage, who played Kevin Arnold, Danica McKellar, the character's on-again, off-again girlfriend Winnie Cooper, Jason Hervey, who played his bullying older brother Wayne, Alley Mills, who played his mother Norma, Dan Lauria, who played his stern dad Jack, and Olivia d'Abo, who played his hippie sister Karen.

In one photo, the Arnold family is seen sitting at a dining room table similar to the one seen on the show.

Another one shows the cast posing for a selfie, while a third shows Saviano with Danica.

"How can I look good next to the beautiful @danicamckellar #WonderYearsDVD," he tweeted.

"Aww... xo," she replied.

The actress also shared a reunion photo on Facebook.

"So... The Wonder Years will finally be available on DVD later this year, and the cast has come together today to shoot DVD extras materials!! It's been 16 years since we were all in a room together," she said. "Feels so great to be reunited!"

Who was NOT there? Daniel Stern, the show's narrator. And Becky Slater.

Why the delay for a "Wonder Years" DVD release? Danica, who is an author and mathematician, said at a launch event for one of her books in 2009 that there were issues regarding licensing the music featured in "The Wonder Years" for DVDs. The show featured some of the most famous classic rock and American hits and its theme song is Joe Cocker's cover of "With a Little Help from My Friends." A different version of the song is featured in the opening credits of "The Wonder Years" on Netflix.

"At long last, 'The Wonder Years' will be coming to DVD, with the great music that made you fall in love with the show, including the memorable title sequence song, 'With a Little Help from My Friends,'" read a message posted on the official website.
