Thirty Something

Postby Sean » Tue Sep 07, 2004 4:59 am

Since it seems like most of the people on this chatboard are in their thirties, just curious to know if you guys watched the show "Thirty Something" a long ago and thought, boy these people are old.

I remember that show but never cared to watch a show about well-off Yuppies while I was surviving on Ramen noodles putting myself through college.

Good topic. Fortunately, I never watched that show (okay, maybe once, but thought it was horrible).

All this talk about age/aging has got me thinking (and chatting w/friends about this) and a good friend of mine (38 years old w/a 4 month old) said some

Never watched the show either, but yeah- I have to be honest, I thought they were OLD!
The truth can be painful...Ouch!

I thought about this topic when I turned thirty, two years ago(almost three now). I occasionally watched the show, but found it hard to relate to, since I was a teenager. I would find it interesting to watch the show now and see if I could relate to it.

I saw a few shows but could not relate.The fact that they were old and yuppies. I would never be a yuppie! I remember one guy was single and cool. He had the long hair and so did I. And come to think of it, all my freinds were couples and I was always sin

I didn't see many episodes, but I know I couldn't relate then or now with them.

I'll agree with jfiber, 30 is definitely the new 20. I don't "feel" like I'm in my 30s. I still want to go out and have a good time, I don't want to be married w/ kids ju

It would be really cool if they had a show now regarding the 80's kids at their current age. Our reactions to the current styles of music. Our problems with getting older including increase weight, loss of hair (for guys), and the fact that it's just ha

I never watched it either, but agree that at the time I thought they were so OLD and BORING - who wants to ever be like that!?!? I suppose I logically knew I'd someday be thirty-something, just didn't know how QUICKLY.[:(]

I was in the tail end of highschool when Thirty Something was a hit...and like a few others that have already mentioned, I also couldn't relate. Even more so now being that I'm within the age bracket T.S. boasted...and unmarried, childless, still severely
