I Don't Think Adult Kevin Is Narrating This Show

I never felt adult kevin was actually narrating this show. I always felt Kevin just heard Daniel stern's voice in his head all along. What if Kevin is just crazy?

I know. The narrator is too whiney and nasally to be Kevin. Even as a 14 year old, Kevin has a deeper and more masculine voice than the narrator.

Honestly, I feel like the narrator's voice isn't too far off from Fred Savage's real adult voice 

For me, I felt Daniel Stern's portrayal was a little too intelligent and doesn't match up at all with the bland younger Kevin.

I guess when the show started they didn't really know what Fred Savage's voice would sound like after it changed. They probably weren't trying to match the voices anyway and just thought Stern's voice made a good narrator.

You're right, of course. Marv had an epiphany after the whole New York incident and really turned his life around. Aside from making it big as a motivational speaker, he became one of the highest-lauded narrators in his field. TWY is just one of his many award-winning projects.

One thing that bothered me is their different pronunciation of names. One of them said "Miss Hassenfuss" and the other said "Miss Hassenfoose." Juvenile Kevin called the girl at the lake "Cara" (pronounced car) while adult Kevin called her "Cara" (pronounced care). You wouldn't just change your name pronunciation like that. They should have got together on this.
