| | I was chatting with a friend of mine last night about The Wonder Years, one of my favorite TV shows from early adolescence. Did you know that the show was set exactly 20 years prior to when it was shown on TV? I read that little nugget on the wikipedia page I've linked to above. So if you watched an episode one night in 1992, it took place in 1972, etc.
Here's the thing: the show started in the Spring of 1988. It is now 2008. We are the same time-distance away from the beginning of the airing of The Wonder Years as the show was from its narrative setting when it was originally broadcast.
Gah, this makes me feel old and kind of dumb; I don't think I realized how close 1968 was to 1988 when I was living it.
