I'm sitting here cracking up that we've reached a point in time where viewing audiences can't place shows from a mere 20 years back. Growing up in the 70's and 80's we could at least stretch our pop culture knowledge back 30 years, usually even back to 40. I think we probably have so much disposable entertainment by way of the digital age and social media that attention spans aren't checking for shows from last year let alone a decade or more

As kids in the 70s, my sisters and I looooooved watching the Little Rascals after school - never knowing that they were theatrical shorts made in the 1930s.

Yes!!! We loved the little Rascals. We didn't care that it was old and in black and white. Today's generation couldn't appreciate the little rascals

That was our childhood! TV on Sundays was always a treat too, always a day's worth of harmless, happy, retro shows or movies on - those shows were such fun !

Someone actually told me they couldn't watch black and white movies!

>

Another young woman stated that acting was so much better in the old movies.

How old?

The 90's!

Did you ever watch "Family Classics" on WGN on Sunday afternoons? Hosted by Frazier Thomas. I used to loooooove that.

Cheap ripoff of Living Single.

Living Single was not funny at all, nor was Martin. In Living Color was funny. Liked 227 and Amen.

Wow you thought Martin was not funny but you thought 227 was.

Hell Martin still makes me laugh to this day where as I liked 227 when it

was current but watching it now is total cheese for me.

That's your generation that grew up on Britney Spears/Back street boys and never miss an episode of the Kardashians

Kids in the 90s were just as bad. They showed us Miracle on 34th Street in 6th grade and the kids were complaining about it being boring and in black and white. Even the sub that was supervising us made them all laugh by telling us how much it sucked. I have never accepted a facebook friends request from any of them.
