fun (?!) comparison dates. it occurred to me the other day, watching the 1st season of 90210 on Netflix, that (a) now they've got this remake of 90210 and (b) when the original started, there was an updated "Leave It to Beaver" briefly on TV. (disney channel? I don't remember now.) also, saw a kid on the bus last year in a Ramones t-shirt, chuckled internally, then remembered my own fondness for the Doors when I was his age. (my mother, btw, has always loved big band music, which is a bit before her time, and Elvis, but not the Beatles.)
