I am in the twenty-something generation, and identified completely with many of the characters. I thought the writers did a purposeful job, in terms of creating something that was thought-provoking and artistic. I fell in love with the characters, their lives, their ambition, drive, and wonder. Maybe it's just me? Maybe I have that undying hope for romance, love, deep thought and analysis. This show satisfied my hunger for all of the above, and I hope it continues even online. And, by the way, 90210 is my all time favorite show. It was a completely different generation. I remember sneaking those episodes in when I was a little girl, not allowed to watch them. They never created deep thought or conversation, however. They did fulfill a sense of belonging and entertainment, especially at a young age when I probably was not at the point to want to think deeper (especially with, or because of a television show). I don't know... as I get older, I desire more intellectual stimulation. I get that in a variety of ways... my higher education, my friends, my family, my interests, my adventurous soul... and yes, even television and internet. So, I enjoyed Quarterlife, thought it had much to offer... And feel, very passionately, that the show's quality is hidden even in the most skeptic or pessimistic of souls. It may even drive out the poet, philosopher, and "hippie" (for lack of better term) in us all. We are a unique generation, with a lot to offer. This show depicted what some of us are already discovering about us quarterlives... we have a connection and purpose in this all, just look, analyze, take a chance, protest, fight, dream, drink, live.

Especially loved the 902010 bit. Although I'm a bit SHOCKED at your comment guidelines: "Keep it PG-13 people!" Now...not to pick nits, but you are my favorite F-bomber. Say "NO" to fucki*ng censorship! You're cracking me up as usual. Especially loved the 902010 bit. Although I'm a bit SHOCKED at your comment guidelines: "Keep it PG-13 people!"

In comparison with my friends (hell, even with my sister's friends), my parents are old.

HELL NO. This show wants to be Reality Bites. Thirty-something was my parents generation. Reality Bites, again, my sister's generation. Well, my older cousin's -- tad older than my sister too, but much closer than it was to me. LA Law. You forgot LA Law. No NBC Thursday night lineup is complete without the 10 PM anchor.

Shit I would be in serious doo-doo if I had a 25 year old kid . . . funny enough, it was filmed right here in Houston literally next door to my oldest brother's house at the time (he's appeared on my blog in a couple places). Funny story too - he was arc welding a frame of a 1951 Chevy in his driveway when the director came over and asked him if he could take a break since they were trying to film a movie. He responded, "No shit?" An igloo cooler full of beer and lawn chair later, he sat there and watched them film. To be honest, I completely missed all the generation dramas - not sure if it was late night Dungeons and Dragons playing or what I was doing but I don't remember having an actual drama. My weekly show line up? The Cosby Show and Cheers, Miami Vice, old school Star Trek, Johnny Carson and Dave Letterman. I'm sure I'm leaving out some quality shows somewhere . . . . ;) Come on - Reality Bites is your parent's generation?
