I used to watch Thirty Something as inspiration to make something of myself. I wanted to be a Yuppie with a nice clean office job. No one in my family had even graduated from high school and I saw an education as a way out of the life I had. Struggled through a community college. Then a university and even graduate school. I even worked in advertising for several years. I just always thought, "If rich kids can do it, so can I!" Looking back, I realize that the odds of me making it were pretty slim, but I did!

This show I remember watching although from a Boomer generation but loved how the entire cast cemented their relationship so well. However, Gary, was the one that glued all of the relationships together which helped them become less biased but "see the reality" of their actions. Loved this show for all those talented actors/actresses.

Thirtysomething was and will always be an incredible show. I remember when i was fifteen staying up just to watch this amazing cast and poignantly written stories about the baby boomer generation struggling through their lives but also showing how much love they all loved each other. I miss this show so much.

[@djstarsign]

I loved reading this because I thought I was the only weirdo teen who’d intentionally watch the show. I loved these characters and they were the archetypes of what I’d imagined my own adult life would be. Somehow, I feel so immature compared to these characters even though I’m now forty something 😹😹😹

I was in my early 30s when this show was on and watched it every week. I hated the complaints that it was about yuppies complaining about their perfect lives. The point was, they had problems like everyone else and their lives weren't perfect

The night the pilot aired, my husband called me from the living room to come down. I did. He said "Someone has been spying on us. Watch!" I even still have crappy VHS tapes of some of the episodes. Great cast. Well written. Great production.

From what I understand at this time it can't be streamed because of all the amazing music that was part of the show. Each piece needs to be renegotiated so artists get paid. All the original agreements and music rights are fine to be in the DVDs as no-one could have ever imagined streaming. This is what's happened with China Beach and Homicide Life on the Streets, which was finally secured and is now streaming on Peacock.

My brother died at 23 in a stupid car accident in Galveston TX on a stretch of sea wall road that should hav3 had a guardrail and good lighting-but did not. His life was just beginning, his wife was pregnant with their first child, whom he never got to see. He had helped a woman earlier in the day whose battery had died by jumping her battery. On the ride home his car lost its lights, his friend was driving. They went over the sea wall, my brother was the only fatality. He went through the windshield and the car landed on top of him. It changed all our lives, so it felt familiar when I watched this when first broadcast. I loved this show.

So sorry. This is so similar to the way I lost my brother. He was 21 on his way back to college with two of his friends in the car. He fell asleep and the car flipped over a guardrail. He was ejected and the car landed on him. Fortunately the other two boys got out ok. That was 49 years ago.

A lifelong friend of mine died at this time in a car accident, and as hard as this was to watch, i found it oddly comforting that others were going through what I was.

My husband was in a bike accident (and wasn't wearing a helmet) when we were in college and dating. He was in a coma for two weeks and had just come out of it. I went home and this episode aired. I ugly cried, especially the last scene with him on the bike. I know the nurse said he was in a car, but the image of Gary on the bike with no helmet and the haunting music- I just lost it.
