The first season of Thirtysomething comes out on DVD on August 25 after an 18 year hiatus. In a particularly bananas moment of self-assignment after getting an early copy, I decided to watch the whole thing—it was before my time, but I am no stranger to the transformative power of Zwick/Herskovitz programming. I think I’m going batty from all the crying and complaining about buying the wrong type of chevre for a party.
My experiments with ’80s indulgences and chunky cotton sweaters will be officially documented soon. But for now, enjoy a clip of power suits, stressed friends, unironic nerd glasses, colicky babies, and synth interludes.
