Trivia
The title comes from the song "Kodachrome" written and recorded by Paul Simon in 1973 about a photographic film manufactured by Kodak for over 75 years.

Goofs
When Miss Shaw loaded up her car to leave school for the final time in her Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. As she is backing out of her parking spot you can see on the inside of the windshield on the top left a Jiffy Lube oil change sticker. While Jiffy Lube was started in 1971 there was however no see through static windshield labels available at that date and time.

Quotes
Kevin Arnold - The Narrator: I guess in the end Miss Shaw did what was best for her. After all, no compromises, no regrets. The only thing is, she didn't do what was best for us. But even today, I don't know who to be angry at; her, or the system that drove her away.

Why Haven't We Seen More From Ms Chapman?

I have been doing a Wonder Years marathon over this past weekend. One episode after another, in order, from the beginning. Of course all of the episodes are great, however, a few stand out. Kevin's job at the hardware store, lessons learned in math class, etc. However, the episode with the teacher, Ms Shaw, is one of the best yet. Watching these episodes of TWY over 30 years after they originally aired is amazing. One would have think in 2023 they would be dated and for some reason they are not so dated to me. Anywho, this episode with the English teacher Ms Shaw was one of the better episodes in the series. One reason I am writing a review is I wonder what ever happened to Ms Chapman, the actress that played Ms Shaw. For the few minutes she was in the episode her character carried the entire episode. She reminded me of a Younger Alfie Woodard. Also, why can't they write shows like this anymore. The writing for this show is better than most shows. Check them out, you won't regret it.
