Fred Savage fans, rejoice! The Wonder Years, the popular ABC television show that ran from 1988 through 1993, is finally coming to DVD later this year.
StarVista Entertainment/Time Life, a company known for making classic television shows available on DVD, announced Wednesday that it will release The Wonder Years in the second half of 2014, according to a release.

"The Wonder Years has long been the most-requested TV show yet to be released on DVD, and we're thrilled to have the incredible opportunity to bring this iconic show to its many fans," Jeffrey Peisch, StarVista Entertainment/Time Life's senior vice-president of entertainment programming and marketing, said in a release. "As we've done with many other classic TV shows, the series will be treated with the care and attention it fully deserves after all these years, with deluxe packaging, robust extras and a lot more. We're really big fans of the series, too."
But, the news gets even better for show purists. The Wonder Years will retain its original soundtrack on DVD, including songs from The Beatles, Bob Dylan and Smokey Robinson, according to movie blog Arthouse Cowboy. The inclusion of The Wonder Years' entire soundtrack is quite the feat because it has long-hindered the show from becoming available on DVD.
Since 2011, Netflix has been streaming The Wonder Years, but with different music because it encountered issues with getting rights to some of the iconic songs used in the show.
The Wonder Years, which starred Fred Savage, won a Golden Globe award, a Peabody award and multiple Emmy awards.
