Earning "those looks" when talking about MacGyver - and then actually someone asked: "Who's MacGyver?"
Also: Star Trek: Next Generation.
"Who? Oh, that bald captain? Yah, well, I only watched the New Movies, the explosions were cool"
And Darkwing Duck.
And The Gummi Bears! (Lots of Love to @LittleMissDevil for linking to the intro!)
And when you talk about the mangas that got it all started... "What's DNAngel/Kenshin/WeiĂ Kreuz?" X_x"
