"Never Bothered to Watch"

"Oh, those are all of the shows I never bothered to watch".

These are the words that came out of my new scene partner's mouth the other day when we were talking about the early '90s.  Our scene takes place in the '90s and we were discussing fashion trends and costume ideas.  With this our director referenced the show Friends.  I was enjoying the bit of nostalgia as we tossed out costume options and remembered what I had in my closet in those days. wowee.

Later in the rehearsal, my scene partner mentioned that he is 23.
Wait!
The reason that "those are all of the shows he never bothered to watch" was because he was 7 when Friends first aired.

It was interesting to talk with someone who didn't have much of a recollection of my "Must See TV" line up.  Has he ever seen Cheers? Seinfeld? ER? Frasier? Or even Family Ties? Kate & AllieCosby Show? A Different World? and not just the reruns? 
Does he know who Rerun is?

I suppose I'm entering that stage of life where I need to always be updated on the Mindset List.
