About the year's whirlwind success, Danica McKellar said, "Starting off on the Wonder years, I have had the pleasure of doing projects that are truly good natured and wholesome, and I feel like I got to continue that in large part had to do with this guy, Bill Abbott, first on the Hallmark Channel, and now of course I followed him to Great American Family Channel. These movies make you feel good. They're about a simpler time almost. It shows you the best in human nature, these movies. And what makes them so good and so needed is that they don't have any real bad guys. No one's taking advantage of each other. It's people who are in earnest trying to make their way through life. And people say, oh, these movies are such a great escape. Yes, they are an escape, but I believe they're more than that because they model aspirational behavior and you feel so good while you're watching them and that feeling lasts. I think that we're actually making a good impact on the world."
