why its impossible

so, adolescents are the largest consumers of a show like friends or sex in the city etc, which is played by 35+ year olds playing 25 year olds ( or equivalent displacements) written or directed by say people in their 40s, 50s- how can one read this consumption, what exactly are the consumers getting, what is that twilight that is twixt the imagined talk of 20+ year olds & their clothing & their body & facial language & their behaviors & their humor. all this is more complex than adults simply intellectualizing a form like animation, lending it a more crafted erudite aesthetic -it is still made in their image. but in one who's mind is forming, it is the blur in its blurring that shapes erratic sense & action & thrall- what they get is impossible to define or reflect on, the author(s) here being simply shizified, avatarized into a multiplicity of hands & heads & meaning & gesture
