    I don’t know if you realised, but I’m not talking about shows from the 70’s and 80’s, but of shows which are from 2006 and 2008 and which have the main character be of that modern era and then experience the 70’s/80’s through the lens of someone from ~2007.

    Yeah I was born in the 80’s, I definitely know that feel. My brain still defaults to calculating things as if it were 2000. “The 70’s? That’s 30 years ago.”

      No, no, I know what you mean. I can see how my phrasing was confusing though. I watched the shows you mentioned when they first came out, but I think that I would cringe far more today than I did back then. Ignorance is bliss (for those privileged enough to be ignorant)

        I think it was probably not that bothersome when it came out — seeing as it was nigh two decade ago. Society has changed.

        But i congratulate those 00’'-10’s producers for putting in what they did.

        It’s still handles kinda nicely at points, showing them clearly learning from the new values begrudgingly imposed.

        It’s not exactly hateful most times, but it is harmful.
