Kevin Arnold - The Narrator: When you`re a little kid you`re a bit of everything; Scientist, Philosopher, Artist. Sometimes it seems like growing up is giving these things up one at a time.
Kevin Arnold - The Narrator: Things never turn out exactly the way you planned. I know they didn`t with me. Still, like my father used to say, `Traffic`s traffic, you go where life takes you` and growing up happens in a heartbeat. One day you`re in diapers, the next you`re gone, but the memories of childhood stay with you for the long haul. I remember a time a place, a particular fourth of July, the things that happened in that decade of war and change. I remember a house like a lot of houses, a yard like a lot of yards, on a street like a lot of other streets. I remember how hard it was growing up among people and places I loved. Most of all, I remember how hard it was to leave. And the thing is, after all these years I still look back in wonder.
Kevin Arnold - The Narrator: All of our young lives we search for someone to love. Someone that makes us complete. We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope. All the while wondering if somewhere, somehow, there`s someone perfect who might be searching for us.

The main reason for this part of the storyline was that actress Danica McKellar had had a growth spurt, and she and star Fred Savage, already shorter than McKellar, didn`t look right standing together. The characters reconciled after Savage began to catch up in height.
