X-Men timelines make my head hurt - if they keep up the recent quality then I'll definitely keep watching.

The Paris Hilton references are a couple of films away.

So much of the Carrie Diaries was either currently available from Urban Outfitters and the like or it was blatantly 90's, like their prom dresses. It bothered me so much, having grown up in those eras! I loved that stupid little show.

Purely anecdotal - My dad was a Miami firefighter for 35ish years, and the kids he grew up with that had a chip on their shoulder became cops.

Didn't they also show a making of Conan The Barbarian a lot? Close Encounters comes to mind, too.

Your upbringing via TV sounds similar to mine. Did you watch MTV for hours when it first aired? I was lucky, my mom LOVED it, so there was a lot of singing and dancing in front of the tube in those days.

Oh yeah - so weird, I was thinking about her during this episode but spaced on the name, apparently.

I can't remember who Kimmy is!

Moms yell at their kids all the time for disobeying them. In this instance it's not something mundane like chores or refusing to do their homework.
