I said-"no that is a book about a show that aired on ABC in the 70's about a straight guy living with two girls"

I showed her the cast photo and the only person she recognized was................NORMAN FELL

LMAO

catlover79 · 09-12-2010, 05:20 PM

Where did she recognize Norman Fell from if she didn't know who John Ritter or Suzanne Somers were?

Adamantium · 09-12-2010, 05:25 PM

This is both funny and sad, lol.

Psh, dumb. I'm younger than her and I've known Three's Company since I was 12 and had read the book by 14. In fact, most people my age (late teens/early 20's) that I know know about the show. She just must've been really oblivious.

Well in her defense Three's Company hasn't been shown locally in philly since the late 80's. lol

HuntingtonM15 · 09-12-2010, 10:46 PM

I would have thought that most people my age would have at least heard of the show.

TVFactFan · 09-12-2010, 10:51 PM

I guess if you were born in 85 and after you probably would not have know about most shows unless it was on your local WB or UPN channel.

Just like a coworker last week was stressed out and said-"elizabeth I'm coming to join you" and a 20 year old client asked her-"who is elizabeth"

LOL

Lol, I like to make classic TV references but many of my co-workers are 17 to their early 20s. And most of them find TV lame. Don't get me wrong, there are older co-workers who know what I'm talking about. It's just kind of frustrating that the others don't.

When Gary Coleman died, I went around saying "Watchu Talkin' Bout, (the person's name)" all day as a tribute. Not everyone knew what I was doing.

One day, a co-worker said to me "Confused?" I responded "You won't be after tonight's episode of Soap."

Of course that reference was lost on them.
