For how old this show is ............


I just started watching and to my surprise, it's a really good show, the thing is, it don't looked dated at all, anyone looking for a new show to watch, give this one a chance

I agree. I originally fully watched when I was like 17 and today it still doesn't feel dated.

I know! Only the first season seems a bit dated at times but you quickly forget. I only get reminded when they use their cell phones and realize its not a smartphone like all movies and shows today have; or when they mention celebs that were popular at the time like in the episode where Alex mentions Smashmouth and the episode with Nelly Furtado in it and she was singing "I'm like a bird" and I realized that song came out 14 years ago!

Don't read this

Yeah, that song! I still feel it's hip, sadly.

But no smartphones, and that's a problem.

I still can not believe how old this show is. Some of my friends just discovered Roswell on Netflix. I remember watching it when I was in elementary school. I still like the show. Wished it would have lasted longer.

There's a few moments like when the girls stumble upon a Nelly Furtado concert. I graduated in 2001 and watching them rock out to I'm Like a Bird made me laugh cause it reminded me so much of high school.

Of course the obvious old cell phones and VHS tapes show up but other that it still looks like a pretty modern show.

It really isn't that old.

That's one thing I love about this show though. How they dress, lack of smart phones, the music. It's refreshing. I watched it during its premiere back in 99 and have been watching it on and off ever since.

What a day! What a lovely day!

I used to see the commercials for this show on WB11 when I was a child. The commercials had the song by Dido. But at the time, I never actually watched the show.

I started watching the show on Hulu in 2021. The show is ok, and I love the lead actress Liz (gorgeous)
