This week on California Life, we look back at the Thirtysomething DVD Launch Party and Cast Reunion.
When Thirtysomething was released in 1987, it was supposed to redefine not only a generation but also the television landscape. Eighteen years later, the iconic show came to DVD for the very first time.
The iconic show featured the life of seven “30-somethings” living in Philadelphia and trying to make sense of their lives, careers, marriages, infidelities and looming midlife crises.
In today’s world, reality television is a daily occurrence but when Thirty Something was released, it allowed television to take on a realistic format for the very first time.
“People said let’s go to a more real level. The only time we ever needed to change a line or anything was when it felt written,” explained Actor and Director, Timothy Busfield.
