In New York last week and on the plane back to LA, I saw five different young people wearing something similar to what you see above. A t-shirt heralding the TV show "Friends." Heck, there were two girls on the plane wearing them. Then I caught another one wearing for a cab at LAX.
Hmmmm.
Now, allegedly, the show has found a new life on Netflix. From what I am told, it is one of the most downloaded shows on the service and that says something, given it's been off the air over ten years. But I always had a feeling that "Friends" would be one of those rare TV programs that spanned generations.
I mean, think about it. What TV show was watched by your great grandmother, your grandmother, your parents, you, and your kids? The only one I can think of is "I Love Lucy."
And now, at least for one generation span, "Friends." Indeed, I had this feeling that this could happen while it was still on the air. Let's face it. It's a universal theme that never leaves us. Everybody has...well...friends. It's really a timeless commodity. And will never really go out of style. It helps that the show was funny, well cast, and slickly produced. Might I add that it's a multi-cam show with a live studio audience? Those always rerun the best.
As I notice the fashion trend in play right now, I realize that my prediction was right.
"Friends" has staying power. And good for them.
Dinner last night: Reuben sandwich at R and D Kitchen.
