thirtysomething is an American television drama about American baby boomers (in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) who are now in their thirties. The series examines how this group of friends learns to negotiate their prior involvement with the early 1970s counterculture as young adults, in contrast to the yuppie lifestyle which dominated American culture during the 1980s.
