So, on a whim, I decided to watch the Act Your Age episode of P&F. And it got me thinking.
I started watching this show when I was roughly the same age as the characters. They were a not insignificant portion of my childhood. I remember specifically watching it on Netflix because I actually saw the Act Your Age episode airing at my Aunt's and I wanted to check out the show.
That was 10 years ago. The exact length of the timeskip for that episode. I'm now in the exact same boat as these kids, although clearly not as smart. More like the same boat as Buford. I'm starting college in a couple of months.
I grew up with these guys. And watching that episode now makes me feel like they grew up right alongside me.
Of course, that's not gonna stop me from enjoying the new season, which is what actually made me watch the episode in the first place, but ya know. I relate to Swampy in that last little bit of it. At least a little.
