This would be a great episode of any other series, but for something as good as The Wonder Years, it's on the mediocre side.
It's a nice exploration of the estrangement between older and younger siblings. As a younger sibling myself, I can totally relate to Kevin's excitement at being included in the "big kid" activities.
Outside of that, it doesn't have a lot to say. We got a better character exploration of Karen and her hippie side in "Angel," and we got a better look at the disillusionment of youth in "The Walk-Out." I think we could've gotten more insight into Karen's character if more scenes were spent on her relationship with their parents.
Still, it's a far better episode than the one we got about Wayne earlier this season, with a very touching ending.
