Wonder Years

I love youtube. I've been able to see some old episodes of my favorite TV show, The Wonder Years.
COOL!
I just watched an episode that I remember seeing the first time, which was like 15 or so years ago. It was when the Kevin and Winnie, et al, went on a field trip to the Natural Science museum. At the episode, Winnie breaks up with Kevin, as she's found someone else. All this while "God Only Knows" from the Beach Boys starts playing. They get on separate buses. Her, with her new guy behind her, and him, by himself, looking like a wounded puppy. He finds the ring he gave her on the bus seat they shared on the way to the museum.
Painful and heartbreaking to watch. Then, to hit you over the head with symbolism...the buses drive off together and then split up. Man.
On a completely unrelated note, I just heard some cover of "All you need is love" used in a credit card commercial. Sheesh.
