Ep 7: Thirtysomething Podcast Host Scott Ryan

On today's podcast I talk about thirtysomething, My fave tv show of all time!

Thirtysomething (stylized as thirtysomething) is an American drama television series created by Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz for ABC that aired from 1987 to 1991. It tells of baby boomers living in their thirties who reside in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and examines how this group of friends learn to negotiate their prior involvement with the early 1970s counterculture as young adults, in contrast to the yuppie lifestyle which dominated American culture during the 1980s.

The title of the show was designed as thirtysomething (with a lowercase "t") by Kathie Broyles, who combined the words of the original title, Thirty Something. It premiered in the United States on September 29, 1987, and lasted four seasons until it was cancelled in May 1991 because the ratings had dropped and the executive producers Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz moved on to other projects. The series earned 13 out of its total 41 nominated Primetime Emmy Awards, and received 2 Golden Globe Awards.

I discuss this show with the co-host of the thritysomething podcast Scott Ryan.

"After 2 years and 18 episodes, we present you the final episode of the thirtysomething podcast. We have been so lucky to interview just about everyone. If they weren’t on the podcast, we got them for the book, thirtysomething at thirty: an oral history.

September 29th, 2017 thirtysomething turns thirty. We were so lucky to be able to celebrate our favorite television show and help bring it to its own age. For our final episode Scott reads a bit of his introduction from his new book about the show, Carolyn and Scott read brand new statements from some of the cast and crew about the show turning 30. We even have a new one from an actor who was never on the podcast or the book! Then we say goodbye to all our fans of the podcast"
