Ok, who's watching thirtysomething on Sky Atlantic?

[squeaver]

Michael! Hope! Little baby Janey!

Braces as a fashion statement!

Pussy bow hair accessories!

oh oh oh !! is it on now???

It's just finishing. I just caught the last 10 minutes.

When I was at Uni, all I wanted to do was grow up and have a husband like Michael (not like Elliot, obv) and a ramshackle house and lovely lovely friends like theirs.

Melissa's wacky coat!

Ellen's shoulder pads!

And Gary. Oh how I loved Gary....

It can't just be you and me, LM, can it?

I have the ramshackle house and lovely friends !
I wanted to be Melissa.

she was a tad quirky.

sigh. now I am 30 something, it's not quite how the series sold it to me !

Yes you knew Melissa was cool because she wore wide hairbands and lived in a warehouse. And I loved all that unresolved sexual tension between her and Gary.

It's a long time since I was even thirtysomething I must say, but the dream remains...

Did you know that Michael was/is married to Nancy (Nan-shee) in real life?

still is I think squeaver - he was something to do with brothers and sisters and she's in that too. Mind you the lovely Michael isn't quite so gorgeous now...

I loved that show!

Is Sky Atlantic on freeview or just Sky?

I might be watching it .

When was it aired originally, I remember watching it and am fairly sure I wasn't 30 something myself.

I'm a day behind because it's on air just when it's school pickup, but the episode the other day where Hope's parents came to stay was scarily true to life.

The fashion is - interesting, I can't believe I ever thought they were all so stylish.

I also wanted to be Melissa.

I think Michael looks miles better now and, Nancy doesnt look any older!!

I liked it at the time but that was because I had a pretentious boyfriend at the time who thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, especially Hope.

I couldnt bring myself to watch it now. Its too dated for me. I saw five minutes of the original ER today and flicked it over. I just cant revisit stuff.

I much prefer Brothers and Sisters, very similiar with better fashions!

I caught five minutes of it and didnt have the patience so, I wont be bothering.

Oh I loved Thirtysomething too.

I was 16 and used to watch it and wish I would grow up to marry Michael. So didn;t happen but never mind, still a few years left.

I am v jealous that I have virgin freeview so no revisiting for me. It is not available on dvd as I have tried to get it.

Enjoy

My waters broke during an episode of Thirtysomething back in the day - needless to say I didn't rush off to the hospital till it had finished

Am it's not on Virgin.

Im watching for the 1st time and quite enjoying it, although the ep with the 'argument' was just

My mum was 30something when it was on 1st time round and I remember she loved it - now im 30something..

Its too angsty for me. I will stick to Brothers and Sisters.

Saw it 1st time around then watched the re-runs on More4 whilst feeding newborn DD1 4.5 years ago. I'm now watching it again with newborn DD2 and I'm no longer 30-something.

Im watching too
Why does Hope make such a meal of just one baby?! She doesn't stop moaning does she!!

I never could abide her. I couldnt face watching it again.
