Last week, it was revealed that Fred Savage was fired from The Wonder Years reboot because of “allegations of inappropriate conduct.” However, we did not know what that meant.
Today, a source told People that the actor “can have a temper and occasional outbursts.” Meanwhile, another source told the magazine, “He works his crews pretty hard by always doing more takes than necessary.” The insider added, “Some directors just overshoot. Sometimes they feel like they didn’t get the performance or want to try another angle or things like that. So he overshoots and the days are longer, therefore giving more opportunities to snap at people.”
It is amazing how times have changed. I have been screamed at by many co-workers throughout my career, and nothing happened. I guess now they would be fired.
Fred Savage has spent the last 25 years with The Wonder Years, but his time with the franchise has come to an end. According to Deadline, he was fired after they investigated multiple misconduct complaints.
A spokesman for 20th Television said, “Recently, we were made aware of allegations of inappropriate conduct by Fred Savage, and as is policy, an investigation was launched. Upon its completion, the decision was made to terminate his employment as an executive producer and director of The Wonder Years,”
Personally, I am surprised. But then again, this is the third time the actor has been accused of misconduct. He was sued for sexually harassing a makeup artist on the set. He was also sued by a crew member of the Grinder for attacking and harassing her. Savage denied both claims.
When it comes to The Wonder Years, it has yet to be picked up for a second season.
We all know that The Wonder Years’ Fred Savage and Boy Meets World’s Ben Savage are brothers. But have any of you seen them together? I don’t think I have.
However, now I have. Here they are, and they are working on a mysterious project together. We don’t know what it is, but I can’t wait to find out. Could it be Boy Meets The Wonder Years?
Are you interested to know what they are doing? And which brother do you think is cuter?
Before Fred Savage was one of the biggest child stars in the ’80s, he had to get his start somewhere. How cute was the 6-year-old in that 1983 commercial for Pac-Man Vitamins?

Over the weekend, the (not so much) kids (anymore) from Boy Meets World got together at the Dallas Fan Expo. However, is it really reunion if Danielle Fishel, Ben Savage, Will Friedel and Rider Storm do not make it Instagram official? The four of them posed for this photo together showing off Topanga’s growing belly. The actress is pregnant with her first child.
Seeing them together like this makes me mad again at Disney Channel for cancelling Girl Meets World after only 3 seasons. It had more life in it.
