Kevin Arnold's Back


Fred Savage was thinking about devoting himself to directing and producing when he was offered "Crumbs." So he's back acting.

Savage's cute-little-boy-next-door mien brought him success as wide-eyed Kevin Arnold, growing up amid '60s morals and mores on the ABC series "The Wonder Years" (1988-93).

Since then, his focus has been behind the camera, including producing and directing the kid-oriented comedy series "Phil of the Future" on the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon's "Drake & Josh." "Other acting opportunities had come along, but nothing that was tantalizing enough to me to step away from what I found most interesting," says Savage, who at 29 still retains his boyish charm.

The ABC sitcom about a dysfunctional family premieres 9:30 p.m. EST Jan. 12, following the second installment of a new run of the summer smash "Dancing with the Stars." Savage says "Crumbs" appealed to him because it didn't have "that set-up/set-up/joke pattern that has come to define sitcom. I liked that it was about the characters, about the family ... and was brave enough not to have a laugh for a few pages."

As the name implies, the Crumbs are a crumbled family, who nevertheless retain affection for each other. The mother (Jane Curtin) has just been discharged from a psychiatric facility. The father (William Devane) is expecting a baby with his new girlfriend. They have suffered the death of one of their three sons, and many unspoken memories linger. Jody, the son who stayed home running the family restaurant, is played by Eddie McClintock. Savage portrays Mitch, the gay prodigal son, who returns home from a failed Hollywood career.

You Said

I always thought "Working" was highly underrated ... granted, it ran its course and deserved to be canned at the time, but the first 2-3 years were hysterical.

The "Mole" in Austin Powers was his best role since Wonder Years

If Doogie can make a comeback, I sure hope Kevin Arnold can, too.
