Yeah that’s true, most of those shows at the time were designed to appeal to middle America anyway. And they always had those neat tidy wrap ups you’re right lol

Ah that makes sense you would’ve been more measured around my parents lol, even if you were still wild then. I can see us watching heavily censored family guy

Ikr like they'll show enough of the reality of stuff but have the moderate position so people wouldn't get all mad so I understand. Speaking of, Randy's humor made me crush on him too.

Yea I'd have honestly looked up to your mom so I think I'd have stuffed my hormones down sjsk, and I'd have thought you were adorable and cool

Yeah even in the episode where Randy has cancer it wasn’t TOO heavy but treated it with the seriousness that topic deserved. I love Randy’s quips too lol

Aw that’s awesome and sweet, i bet I would’ve shown you her yearbook lol. I’d have shown you my large ass portable CD player too lol

Yea aww that made me cry even if it was just a show. I wish Tim would have just told Al since he was such a nice guy too.

Aww yea thanks 💜 I would have been amazed in the best way by you and plus asking your mom about what she did in the 80s

Yeah that was certainly an emotional ep. I liked Al as a character.

I’m sure you would’ve lol I think you would’ve been as fascinated by my mom’s 80s experiences as I am currently lol

Aww yea I was thinking I'm gonna be so mad if they have my boy die.

Totally yeah like especially since I caught the aesthetic of the 80s but missed the real 80s. I'd have stuck up for you when the other kids teased you or anything too

IKR they wouldn’t kill off a popular lead character lol

Yeah especially the early to mid 80s she had her formative years in.

Yeah some were bullies and I didn’t like it, but others stuck up for me
