For some reason, when I watch a show like All in the Family, which took place in my lifetime, I'm floored by how ancient it all looks - "oh my god, no computers! and no cable, what the hell do they watch! a rotary phone!!????" and the whole place is kinda dingy. But watching, say, Little House on the Prairie I never think twice about how far behind they are...I mean, they're riding around on horses to one-room schoolhouses. I guess the former is close enough to today to form a comparison that can seem huge in it's difference, while the latter is SO other-worldly I never consciously (or subconsciously) make the comparison to life today. And how is All in the Family such a favorite when there are NO Mrs. Xmastimes???!!!
