Remembering Our Wonder Years...



Many of the famous actors today started out as teen actors in those coming-of-age TV shows we all loved growing up. We never missed an episode.  We could relate to the characters.  We spoke about them at school and no matter what they do in their careers, successful or not, we will always refer to them by the names of their most famous TV character.

Katie Holmes married Tom Cruise, was best friends with the Beckhams and had a huge film career, but The Jillybean and I still refer to her as ‘Joey’.  Sarah Michelle Gellar has a new movie out? No, Buffy has a new movie out. The shows that made them famous and the characters they played are ingrained in our memories and it doesn’t matter what they do, we will forever remember them as the characters we could see ourselves being friends with in high school.

One of the most memorable things about these TV shows was the opening credits.  The ones we watched over and over at the exact same time every week.  The opening theme music and songs that we sang along with, word for word, and that evokes the greatest sense of nostalgia within us. 

Here are our Top 10 favourite Teen Series and the opening credits that we’ll continue to remember for years to come:



10.  One Tree Hill (2003 – 2012)
