Are they all dead?

Tweet

So I went over to my dad’s around 6:30am this morning (I didn’t sleep much), and while he was gone, he did return by about 7am. At that point, I was watching the 1980s - 1990s sitcom, Designing Women. He sat there a few minutes, looked at me, and said, “Are they all dead by now?” Three of the five people on the screen are very much alive, and he was surprised. Which makes me think of so many shows, even from the early aughts (2000s). Time has taken several (Matthew Perry from Friends comes to mind first), and others just look (because they are) weathered. It tends to make me sad when I think about it for long. Which is silly, as we all age. I just wish it weren’t always so apparent. Maybe I need to up my antidepressant.
