Last week, Rachel did a Which Character Are You quiz based on this program, and I ended up as Ray. It only confirmed my weekly feelings of how I'm probably too old to be watching this show. As I near closer and closer to 40, I find myself watching this series, especially an episode like "On All Fours," feeling like a dinosaur and getting mildly depressed about the fact that the only characters I remotely relate to are Hannah's parents. But in some ways, I'm grateful that I am an adult and know not to put Q-tips too far into my ears because I listened when my mother told me the thing about the elbow. That's not to say I don't find the show fascinating. For me, it is like going to the gorilla area at the zoo and studying these strange creatures that sort of look like me but are also incredibly different. So here's my "old lady" take on the characters this week.
