when i look at these things from a solipsistic perspective, i feel like these things are being introduced into the cultural zeitgeist for the sole purpose of emphatically reinforcing my aging status.

One day you will all of the sudden become old.  Your hip or your back will go out and you will not be able to easily escape the people around you.

How long can these youngsters procrastinate adulthood? 

As long a people pay them to party.

Austin has become the duck face girl

Netflix just dropped their Queer Eye season 6 trailer.  

And it's set/filmed in Austin.  To be honest, this is probably more indicative of Austin than the show this thread was about.

 

man, I'd still love to find those old episodes.  There was a dump of the first two online for free a couple years ago (maybe at start of pandemic).  But that was that.  I'd really like to rewatch it, granted it was only one season.  But in hindsight...it was way more spot-on about Austin than any reality show even though it was obviously scripted.  Plus, they did a great job of showing, even through b-roll, how Austin looked/felt around the turn of the century.  
This new thing is just gonna devolve into the same old shit.  but hey, at least we'll have a high-production value benchmark on which to look back to see what Austin looked like in 2020/Covid/2021 when we're twenty years older.  

It was sort of a low-rent Portlandia for late-90's Austin. 

That would be cool as fuck, and I would watch that.
 


It’s on YouTube. I have posted links before. I am to tired to do it again. But they are there. Watched it twice in the last few years.

Looks like two torrents but IDK if they work or are good

 

Bonnie Macfarlane is a writer on this show. She's been on her podcast talking about the shitty furnished apartment complex they put her up in at Mueller. They've been doing some of the filming at Creek and the Cave.

The next reality show should be about five long-time Austin residents who moved the fuck out. Think of all the other cool places the show could preview.
Nobody wants to watch people at a Home Depot in Leander.

It’s all streaming.  I skimmed through for a few minutes. HEB made an appearance.  
 

Shame they weren’t filming last February when we were melting snow to flush our toilets.  That would’ve really fucked with the national audience.

Our man here is exhibiting some top-level laziness.  Well done, good sir.

That would be more intriguing to me, to hear the stories of people who voluntarily left Austin.  In the last decade, I can count the friends and coworkers who've moved away from Austin on one hand.  Each story was actually quite compelling.  

Let's just be honest about where this conversation is going.  How long until there's a "Real Housewives of Austin" TV franchise?  I'm guessing before 2025.  

I'd let ya'll film me out here in Bend.   But I'm not in the age bracket they seek with these things.  Also, a good chunk of Bend residents have the 'don't move here' attitude that a good chunk of Austin folks have.   So my neighbors might turn violent on me.  I don't think my story is all that compelling, though.

My ex-girlfriend from high school lived on the same street that these houses were built. They are in the hood.
