I was up at 4AM last night, working on stuff.. couldn't sleep. Turned on the TV and landed on Nick at Nite reruns of 'Rosanne". AKA my childhood. I ended up watching 4 episodes back to back of it.
Late it struck me on how amazing it was to watch a show that was made... these were early episodes so I'm guessing around 1993- just 15-16 years ago or so, and not see a single:
Cell phones
Computers
Navigation in a car
flat-screen TVs
LEDs
Internet
Obviously, Rosanne was a show about a lower-middle class family in the midwest, but still. it was amazing how much things have changed even in my lifetime, and I still got plenty to go.
Becky was 16 and didn't have her own car. They were taking the bus to the mall. When Darlene got stuck at a concert- she had to walk to a gas station and call for a ride with a pay phone. Becky had a school report due and she had to walk to the library to find a book on the topic.
Those were simpler times, even just 15 years ago. I felt really nostalgic watching the show... the music, the horrible clothes, etc. Would I like it to be that way again? I dunno... I think it would be good to experience it for a bit just to give myself a break every now and then.
