Enjoying That 70's Show

It’s interesting actually, that so many of these coming of age shows - Happy Days, Wonder Years, That 70s Show - take place 20 years before they were filmed. I wonder if we’re in line for shows from the early 2000s…

TV shows and movies set approximately 30 years in the past

It seems like in recent years there has been a wave of period TV shows set in the 1980s – GLOW, Stranger Things, The Americans, and Halt and Catch Fire are recent ones I can think of. I have always heard this get chalked up to the idea that it takes about 30 years for people to become nostalgic for things. Now that the 1980s are a little over 30 years in the past, people are beginning to become nostalgic for that era. So I’m now wondering if we can think of other shows or films from other era…
