402478, Which defines the 70's: Saturday Night Live or Happy Days?
Posted by SoulHonky, Fri Sep-19-08 02:47 AM
When you think of the 70's, do you think the Cunninghams and the Fonz? No, you think of Saturday Night Fever.

Gen X watched The Wonder Years. If you were going to define Gen X, you wouldn't say "Oh it's like Kevin Arnold and the Wonder Years." You can make a reference to WATCHING that show, but to act like that show in any way defines the people of that time is just plain stupid.

People might share a common bond of the Wonder Years, but what you see in the Wonder Years in NO WAY encapsulates what they went through at that time.
