Doug Porter played by Brandon Crane




If you are a hardcore Wonder Years fan, then the names Madeline Adams and Doug Porter should sound very familiar to you. The character of Doug Porter was introduced during the second season, and remained on the show until season four. After season four, Doug Porter disappeared off of the face of the planet. I am not really sure as to how the character was written off the show? Did he die in a car crash? Or did he join a fat farm and escape into the woods? Anyways, what I enjoyed most about the Doug character was that he was an extremely nice guy. He really was! Just take a look at the episode "Odd Man Out", Doug blesses Kevin with nothing but awesomeness, and he treats him like a Hyundai. The Madeline Adams character was introduced in the episode "Ninth Grade Man" in season four. Julie Condra played the role of the new girl Madeline Adams. In this introductory episode, Kevin meets Madeline in class, and picks up her pencil for her. This started a HUGE crush for Kevin. The funny thing about Julie, was that she was a 20 year old dame playing a teenage high school student. WEIRD! Julie played the character in a total of four or five episodes. In her last episode, she attends a party with Kevin, and is eventually dumped by Kevin at the end of the episode. Who in their right mind would dump Madeline Adams for Winnie Cooper? Seriously! Well I hope you enjoyed my ramblings on The Wonder Years. Peace!
