timeless

made a casual observation today after watching season 1 of friends

if you want to make a show classic or timeless that future generations may be able to enjoy

avoid pop culture references, because they only make sense at roughly 1 or 2 years of broadcast.

this kind of reflects how some producers or writers just think about the short term and use pop culture references to a obscenely irritating level and then find that while it may be good now, its hard to get syndicated because no one understands anymore.
