Where are OUR nostalgia shows and movies, dammit!
So, the post about 37 years since Wonder Years made me think, where are our Nostalgia shows?
The GI gen had all the WWII movies and WWII shows that appeared in the 50s and 60s.
The Silent Gen had shows like Happy Days and movies like American Graffiti.
The boomers had literally everything. The reached back as far as American Graffiti, Wonder Years, shit even That 70s show was late Boomer nostalgia.
That 90s show kids just touches on GenX, but is it a bit more Millennial nostalgia?
So where's our stuff?
You could argue that Halt and Catch Fire, or even The Americans was our Nostalgia. But in both cases, the main characters were boomers.
Stranger Things could count, I suppose, but it's possibley a bit too far out there to really count as nostalgia.
So, where are our feel good nostalgia shows?
