1 year agoI certainly hope the excellent writing of the show, will allow it to have a timeless element to it (which is kinda the theme of the show, if you think about it). As a Gen X’er, I imagine some things will go over younger heads (the “Odd Couple” references in “I Robot” may not be truly appreciated, for example). Also, some eps were creatures of their time - “Three Hundred Big Boys” was inspired by the GW Bush tax rebate, for example. I doubt that little tidbit will be remembered.
One thing I wonder, will the history of the show itself - the expected cancellations, multiple “series finale” eps, FOX’s juggling of the broadcast order - be remembered?
Carrying the Fire! Awesome book - I read it a few years ago. Collins always added a wonderful perspective.
