I can’t remember the specific show, but old shows and their aversion to butts is quite interesting. I know sir mix a lot and J Lo really helped making love of huge asses main stream, but it’s so weird watching old shows and seeing people with tiny flat butt flabbergasted at the thought of a huge round butt I even remember a thread on here, I forgot what the OP was about, but a few posters commented they had trouble believing there was a time when big butts were considered bad. "Lisa Simpson has a big butt!" and various episodes of the original "Roseanne" with Darlene making fun of Becky in a similar fashion say otherwise. Even if the latter was intended as merely jabs between siblings, it still meant the idea of a round bum was a worthwhile insult |

Depends on what he's paying for. Birthday gifts for his kids? No. Medication for his wife? Absolutely not. A weekend to himself to watch Hondo? Oh Hells Yes! In theory, he’d have the DVD, but he never did get the VHS either. If he had $4, he’d probably get a small fries at the mall, since that’s all $4 might be able to buy. Nah, Al would spend that money the right way. {Spoiler}  |

For funsies, I looked at buying a Sega Dreamcast. If you want a new/mint one, you're looking at paying a minimum of $1000. Didn't check for used, but I imagine those aren't cheap, either. I generally sell em for around 100-120ish not too bad |

Try any sitcom from the 50s where the family (or couple) wants to buy their first TV set with one of them saying no. (Ralph Kramden of the Honeymooners even says: “I’m waiting for 3D TV.” Something that wouldn’t be possible until 2011…and boy did those sets lasted a VERY SHORT time on the market. Also, we will forget about earlier Honeymooners sketches where they temporarily at least owned a TV.)

The Home Improvement episode where they catch one of the sons smoking pot. And now it’s legal in an ever rinsing number of states.

You still have to be a certain age to use pot recreationally, usually 21 or older. So it's still illegal to use underage like I'm guessing the sons were at the time. And underage drinking is still an after-school special subject. |

I watched some video on the history of Home Improvement once that mentioned his record coming up before the show premiered, so to set the record straight he admitted "yeah, I messed up when I was younger". |

Last night there was an episode of MASH where Radar was thinking about getting a tattoo, and Hawkeye and BJ were trying to talk him out of it because it was dumb.

Another Married With Children one, there's an episode where Al spends the entire half hour with a song stuck in his head, but doesn't know who sings it. Nobody he talks to knows it, either. He eventually goes to the record store where he finds it by pure happenstance in the jukebox and buys the 45 for an exorbitant price. I looked up the song on Google just now (didn't even have the title right) and found it in 5 seconds: Shazzam would have ended that episode in the first 5 minutes |

Any episode where people struggle to reach someone over the phone. The amount of issues they have with payphones is incredible.

So I'm currently watching an episode of Wings. The primary conflict of the episode is that Helen mailed a role of film to her parents containing pictures of her wedding dress...and also a picture of Bryan's penis. Nowadays Helen would just take a selfie in the mirror and message that to her parents. Though Bryan could still send an unsolicited dick pic with Helen's cellphone, I guess...*shrug* That could turn out even worse today if you took a nudie pic on your cell phone and accidently shared it to Face Book or something (Not that I've ever done that thankfully) |

I bought one last year for $75 at a local retro shop. Came with everything even a vmu too For funsies, I looked at buying a Sega Dreamcast. If you want a new/mint one, you're looking at paying a minimum of $1000. Didn't check for used, but I imagine those aren't cheap, either. It is the TG16 of that generation. Bombed in the states but was huge in japan. Loaded with oddball but fun games. Added advantage to a Dreamcast is the right model is easy to play emulators on and "backups". Glad I got mine back when they were clearing them out at 70 bucks with 2 controllers 2 games and a VMU at gamestop. Actually the Dreamcast did decent here until the PS2 came out. If anything the Saturn is more like the TG16 then the dreamcast. |
