# Notes
I feel a bit [[nostalgic]] writing this in [[2023-05-18]], as it's nearly been 10 years since the release of this series.
My most vivid memory of this series is eating [[Melba Toasts]] while binging this from a DVD set. I was binging on series before Netflix made it easy.
It was the right combination of comedy and a preview of the adult life I was imagining for myself - hanging out with a constant set of friends at an old watering hole.
How did my actual adult life turn out? There was definitely a lot of that, but now I have a daughter, it feels a little like I have just lived through that phase of my life and am moving forward. Did I wish I had a series to give me a preview of [[parenting]] life?
