Yesterday I was watching the Roseanne marathon on the Logo channel. Did you know that when Jackie was dating Gary, Jackie was 33 and Roseanne was 36?! They seem so much older!!! I'm 36 and feel like I'm nothing like them. Of course I don't have 3 kids on the verge of poverty either!
shareYeah, it's crazy. But I'm sure many of us have thought about this occasionally. I'll chalk it up to this: generations. Each generation is different. Like, the current crop of 18-35 year olds certainly haven't "matured" at the same rate as previous generations, but it's not entirely our fault. There's other factors like the economy, job market, cost of living, etc... ;) And perhaps most significantly: lifestyle. We have so many more options these days—for better or worse, lol.
shareIt's like watching full house. In the first season, Jesse was 22. 22 year olds don't look like that anymore and John Stamos himself was also 22. Danny turned 30 in one of the early seasons. He seemed so much older.
AHHHHH! That was scary!
Jesse was 22. 22 year olds don't look like that anymore and John Stamos himself was also 22.
Right???
AHHHHH! That was scary!
My bad, he was actually 24. But still. I'm 27.
AHHHHH! That was scary!
Jesse Cochran was not 22 when Full House started, he was 24.
Stamos and his character Cochran were the same age.
I was actually just thinking about this the other day. Wasn't Fisher supposed to be 25, or did I make that up at some point? I'm 25 right now and there's no way I see myself in the same age group as Fisher at the time lol.
Melissa: Is there an F5?
Reactions around the room:
When I first started watching Roseanne seriously, I was like 16 or 17, the age Darlene is when Bev thinks Fisher is her boyfriend. I thought he looked like 35. No 17 year old would mistake him for 18-22 (high school senior/college age). Yes, he was like 25 on the show but everyone thought he looked like a minor or young adult. :/
share^ I agree w/ you on that! Fisher did NOT look like he was even in his early 20s, let alone a teenager. Give me a break. He looked like was at least 28, even in his early 30s to me.
-The actor was actually 28 at the time (born in 1964).
