Well I think I understand the point she's aiming at..but I don't know if I agree or disagree..

She probably says that because most kids watch new show (Popular, Charmed, Friends, ect.) and it is unlikely for most people to watch old shows..

I agree and disagree.

I agree with the fact that not to many people watch them because they find them "old" and "uncool"..

But it is your choice to like them or not. I personally and beginning to ware my interest out of DS, FOL, ect...

I don't like what your mom has to say. Just because a show was before your time doesn't mean it isn't timeless. I Love Lucy went off a good 22 years before I was even born, and my mom and I have watched and enjoyed many an episode of it together. I used to love watching Leave It To Beaver and Dennis The Menace too when I was little, both shows went off around 1962.

Shows like Diff'rent Strokes and Facts Of Life are shows I literally grew up watching. And I think it's great they are connecting with a new audience with people who were being born around the same time the final episodes aired.

FOL happens to be my favorite show and they showed the last season the year I was born.I really like DS too.Nothing anyone can say to me is going to make me stop watching either of these shows and I don't think you should stop because your mom said you should.(No offense to your mom!)

You said it, John! I used to watch every one of those shows you mentioned in your message. By the way for the person who has trouble communicating to your mother, let her know it's not doing you any harm. It is something that you can laugh at. That is why the show was created, to make you laugh. Old or new.

I'm surprised your mom has a problem with it, since it is really nothing more than one of the harmless "kidcoms" that sprung up during the 80's. Besides, on what other show can you learn the dangers of climbing out onto the ledge of your 40th story penthouse when being visited by a famous pro-athlete, or how dressing up like Mr. T may not be so effective in trying to impress the ladies?

somebody · 06-06-2001, 03:16 PM

Keep wacthing the damn show. If she asks what
the hell you are doing wacthing DS, kick her ass! You are old enough!

If we were to forget about a show just because it's old, then there would be no such thing as "classics."

NewsiesGurl229 · 06-06-2001, 10:18 PM

I'm new but Love DS. Do not stop watching.

ABRAHAM1 · 06-07-2001, 12:22 PM

Tell her you like the show and she doesn't have to watch it if she doesn't want to. Besides how many years have they been rerunning Lucy and other shows.
