I have only ever seen one episode of this show, and I thought it was pretty poorly presented. It was just too much 70’s stuff- as though they crammed every bit of nostalga they could find into one brief opening. In the 70’s we had different styles and mannerisms, but everywhere I looked on the show was something to remind the viewer 'Hey this is the 70’s". And it wasn’t like that- houses weren’t crammed with bean bags or lava lamps or people having conversations using ‘groovy’ as every second word. But it was fun… 🆒 ---

I remember an episode of “Will & Grace” that based an entire ten minute bit around a Krispy Kreme donut box: Will sets the box on the table (prominently displaying the logo in the process) of his apartment and leaves the room… Grace wanders through the room and takes a donut (prominently displaying the logo in the process) and leaves the room… Jack walks through the room and takes a donut (prominently displaying the logo in the process) and leaves the room… Karen saunters through the room and takes a donut (prominently displaying the logo in the process) and leaves the room… Karen’s maid wanders through the room and takes a donut (prominently displaying the logo in the process) and leaves the room… Will returns to take a donut, opens the box (prominently displaying the logo in the process), and finds none left! He turns the box upside down (prominently you-know-what), and nothing’s there. Cue an overly-hysterical laugh track. ---

“Skank” was around when I was in high school in the 1960s. ---

The Theresa Saldana case happened shortly after Raging Bull came out in 1980. I’m pretty sure that term was being used then, although I couldn’t find any cite on it. ---

And mostly everyone who was around in the 70’s would know ‘My Coo Ca Choo’ by Alvin Stardust. Cicero, lying down grooving on the mat. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/that-70s-anachronism/235264.md?page=2)
