i watched growing pains and family ties and full house, and then stopped watching tv in the 90s - except for the simpsons.

and seinfeld.

and the x-files.

i had a latchkey around my neck. not exaggerating. because nobody was ever home until 9:00 pm.

and, when the 90s ended, i complained that the culture was dead and i should have killed myself when i had the chance.

i'm sorry.

it's true.

i'm gen x.
