Uh, Cheers is GenX, not millenials. 1982-93. Not a lot of babies to 10yo watching Cheers.
I had been thinking that very thing.
That said (and I know I'm an outlier because I've been this way since childhood but) I don't understand these seeming insistences on avoiding the culture signifiers of periods past.
I always loved being familiar with cultural touchstones of the past (I've been working on putting All in the Family on our home media center, recently), especially because it creates a deeper understanding and because as you see how they influenced the ones you grew up with.
Culture is yet another way humans tell stories and how we relate with each other and I truly love that.
