"The home really bugs me out because so many things remind me of the home I grew up in," said Dule Hill.

Authenticity is key in helping "The Wonder Years" reflect a true 60s vibe.
"I love vintage things. I love old things, so I love all this," said Saycon Sengbloh. "The props, the shag rug, the rotary phone - I love all that stuff."
As for the wardrobe, 12-year-old Elisha EJ Williams had a little trouble adjusting to "the look" from that time period.
"Coming back to the 60s style probably is not something I would agree with," laughed Williams. "But when I wear it I feel like I'm there."
Hill, who plays family patriarch Bill Williams, had a real touchstone to relate to with his wardrobe.

"In dealing with the clothing and the style, it reminds me so much of my dad and my uncles back then. Everything that they put on mattered," said Hill. "Being able to step into the shoes of Bill Williams and have that is an experience. It's a suit I'm enjoying putting on right now."
The female stars of the show also love the look of the era...except for one thing.
"I love the wardrobe. It's so beautiful and fun. It's like dress up every day," said Laura Kariuki.
Saycon added with a laugh: "But I will say the hard core old fashioned girdles are a lot different than Spanx!"
"The Wonder Years" airs Wednesday nights on ABC.
