I as a kid... Watched that with a passion.... I had all three of them on VHS tape lol... And me and a buddy would watch them all the time, you know the old doctor guy? Funny as hells! Parts of the second one skipped because it was a tape.. And when they first meet the doctor, because how it skips it is hilarious... Mind you, you may need to be stoned our around me or my friend to find it funny.

Yeah, you should be mainstream, normal and exciting; into shopping, celebrity and gossip.

Like me.

It's not just the US and that age bracket Path, there's a lot of it about!

I eventually gave up trying to make too many "in person" friends, because I just couldn't seem to be what people wanted from me, even when I tried really hard. Fortunately, I have the internet and my CR pals to kick around all the oddball topics that make me tick.

Indeed. Pretend friends are often just so much more real than the offliners!
