Besides, it doesn't make any sense to have these characters living in the year 3000 when all their points of reference are from the pop culture of the 80's and the 90's.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you notice any of the press from when I was with the show, I would always deny it being the year 3000.
They studio were flabbergasted when they discovered how interested everybody was in 'those old people.' And now many upcoming projects feature older people; it's become a trend.
Every ten years there is a new generation of actors.
Actors don't really get into their stride until they're in their late 30s and 40s.
There's that thing about the '80s, the '40s and the '60s, and the '30s, the '50s and the '70s. Something about those odd decades in this century that weren't too pleasant.
It's how the '70s were for movies, the 2000s are for TV. I think it's a phenomenal time for TV and to be involved in it.
To start your life as a character of 120 years when you are in your late thirties, and then go back in time about 20 years later to play the same character who is your own age then, its very complicated, but very interesting.
The trouble with young writers is that they are all in their sixties.
Everyone is the sum total of past experiences. A character doesn't just spring to life at age thirty.
The whole point of having great characters is the opportunity to explore them more deeply with time, re-interpreting them for each new age.
