Watch: Is a "Wonder Years" Reunion in the Works?

Full House is doing it. Boy Meets World has done it. Heck, even Coach is taking a shot at doing it.

But will The Wonder Years also jump in the game for a reunion of some sort?

It doesn't sound like it.

The series, which ran for six seasons starting in 1988, looked at life in the 1960s and '70s as seen through the eyes of Kevin Arnold (Fred Savage) with an adult Kevin (Daniel Stern) heard in voiceovers recalling his childhood.

"I don't think so," says Danica McKellar, who played Winnie Cooper on the show, about a possible Wonder comeback. "I mean, Fred's kind of out of the acting business. He's a director now."

Maybe he could direct a reunion? "Yeah, I'm open to anything that sounds fun and is going to entertain people, but I wouldn't hold your breath," McKellar said.

Well, that's too bad.

The Wonder Years ended with a double episode that showed Kevin and Winnie holding hands at their hometown Fourth of July parade. The adult Kevin then narrates what happens to all the main characters. Winnie headed to Paris to study art history, but when she returned home in 1982, Kevin is married and a father to an eight-month-old son.

McKellar cracked a reunion could be called "The Blunder Years [about] all the mistakes we've made since then."
