The News is…

When you walk around in any crowded place or people watching at any social gathering place, you will notice that they all have something in common. Usually, if you see a group of people, there will be a common theme, something that makes them look similar. It especially applies to children and young adults.

They are so eager to integrate, they often copy each other without regard to how it looks from the outside. Trends and patterns are often younger one thing, with the young victims of the shortsightedness of it all. When everyone does the same thing, so if you’re the only one who does not, you feel as if you’re outside. So in fact you are the only parameter of the next trend.

These trends and patterns often speak in the fashion rags. What is popular this year, will not be cool next year and what is new is the old thing very soon. It seems ridiculous when you grow up and see what is most important, but when you’re in the age group it affects, it seems like a big deal.

Do not wear the right pair of sneakers or wearing a pair of jeans that do not wash them right are almost certain ostracism and death of a teenager. While not listening to good music can be an obstacle if the wrong people know. Finally, you’ll be out of it and you stop caring what other people care and everything is a little better.

These fads come and go, but there are certain things do stick around and there are certain paintings that never go out of style. And remember, everything is cyclical and comes around. In the nineties, we had to endure the sixties all over again when the children of the flower power generation got old enough to see what it was. Even bellbottoms and some things of seventy have reappeared again.

What was old becomes new again as new generations discover their parents’ old things in the attic and in the back of the closet. I am almost certain that the eighties will not return, but stranger things have happened and only time will tell. We could even see these baggy MC Hammer pants back in style.

T shirts have always been believed as the mere essentials. They are comfortable, stylish and a great way to express yourself. If you are searching for a T shirt, or have an idea that you think would look great on one go to finroo.com.

Everybody Loves Raymond (1996-2005): Everybody loves put-upon Ray, who tries to please wife Debra, nosy ‘rents Marie and Frank and jealous bro Robert. The Barones didn’t always have happy days, but their dysfunctional family was one of the most realistic.

Family Guy (1999-present): The naughty and pop culture-obsessed ‘Family Guy’ is loaded with some of TV’s best characters: offensive patriarch Peter, Brian the sauced dog and Peter Lorre-sound-a-like baby Stewie, whose botched matricidal missions are second in hilarity only to his perpetually thwarted plots for world domination.

Laverne & Shirley (1976-1983): Not since Lucy and Ethel wreaked havoc on the chocolate factory had two female buddies sparked so many chuckles. Lenny and Squiggy provided their share of wackiness, but the heart of the show was the bottle-cappin’ roomies’ friendship and pursuit of love, happiness and milk ‘n’ Pepsi.

Green Acres (1965-1971): CBS had its own genre of rural sitcoms with ‘The Beverly Hillbillies,’ ‘Petticoat Junction’ and ‘Acres,’ a standout for surreal antics involving TV-watching pig Arnold, the Monroe brothers (one of whom was female) and leads Oliver and Lisa, who still wore their fancy city duds after moving to their Hooterville farm.

Arrested Development (2003-2006): Bluths, we hardly knew ye. Three seasons of dysfunctional family hilarity and banana-stand shenanigans weren’t nearly enough. The show gave us GOB, Buster and Michael Cera — and, at last, a forum for Jason Bateman to showcase his comedy chops.

Sanford & Son (1972-1977): Father and son, junkyard partners: Both those relationships fueled the tug of war between Fred, who schemed to keep his son by his side, and Lamont, who strove to break free. Of course, it didn’t take a big dummy to see they really loved each other, though the scheming was often more fun.

Will & Grace (1998-2006): Sure, gay lawyer Will and his best friend/ex-girlfriend Grace were likable enough. But it was Will’s self-obsessed, Cher-lovin’ pal Jack and Grace’s boozy, equally self-obsessed receptionist Karen who provided the laugh-out-loud scenes; fans even suggested renaming the series ‘Jack & Karen.’

Mork & Mindy (1978-1982): ‘Mork’ was the perfect series to launch Robin Williams into superstardom, as his manic monologues and physical humor befitted an alien who was charged with studying Earthlings. Mork wasn’t supposed to fall in love with roomie Mindy, but he did, then hatched (literally) giant baby Mearth.
