Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaA rumor circulated before filming that in the scene where Kevin and Winnie were in the barn during a thunderstorm, they'd be nude. Protest groups appeared on the lot, and when executive producer Bob Brush asked what they were protesting, they said, "They're not doing a love scene in the nude!" A baffled Brush replied, "You're damn right they're not!"
- GoofsWhen it starts to rain, the rain can clearly be seen falling in two different diagonal directions, which would be caused by overhead sprinklers.
- Quotes
Kevin Arnold - The Narrator: The next day, Winnie and I came home; back to where we'd started. It was the fourth of July in that little suburban town. Somehow, though, things were different. Our past was here, but our future was somewhere else; and we both knew, sooner or later, we had to go. It was the last July I ever spent in that town. The next year, after graduation, I was on my way. So was Paul. He went to Harvard, of course. He graduated with honors and became a lawyer; he's still allergic to everything. As for my father, well, we patched things up. Hey, we were family -- for better or worse, one for all, and all for one. Karen's son was born that September. I got to say, I think he looks like me; poor kid. Mom? She did well -- business woman, board chairman, grandmother, still cooks the meanest mashed potatoes I know. The Wayner stayed on in furniture. Wood seemed to suit him; in fact, he took over the factory two years later when dad passed away. Winnie left the next summer to study art history in Paris. Still, we never forgot our promise. We wrote to each other once a week for the next eight years. I was there to meet her when she came home; so was my wife and our first son, who was eight months old. Like I said, things never turn out exactly the way you'd planned. Growing up happens in a heartbeat; one day you're in diapers, the next day you're gone. But the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul. I remember a town like a lot of other towns, a house like a lot of other houses, a yard like a lot of other yards, on a street like a lot of other streets... The kicker is, after all these years, I still look back with Wonder.

This was about adult Kevin telling us about growing up as Kevin and most of us get the happy ending eventually but not the happy ending we thought when we were kids.
We meet new people and have new relationships, we make mistakes in life and love and Kevin and Winnie are no different.
If it did end up with the fairy-tale ending it wold have been pure fantasy and likely then if they did they would likely have gotten divorced and had resentment for each other.
Kevin and Winnie even though didn't end up together as adults they are forever soul mates.
