This episode aired 23 years ago.
We've moved into boomer territory when we joke that kids today don't get a joke older than the actual kids today
As usual, "Who the fuck is GenX?!"
The people who wrote the culture war Boomer vs Millennial articles and are all the rising stars of MAGA.
I'd love a couple of links for that, some follow-up read, anything.
And why are they always playing games?
Oh fuck me. For a moment I started to think "no. Married with Children was already over 23 years ago" then I quickly realized that holy shit, Futurama is already over 23 years old.
And the reference is a show that ran until 1997. So a small slice of the audience was too young at the time.
I'm to scared to verify this...
A Bicyclops Built for Two aired on March 19, 2000.
The first season of Futurama began airing on March 28, 1999 and concluded on November 14, 1999 after 13 episodes.
And when did the MWC episode air?
Which one? The final episode aired on June 9, 1997.
I assumed it was a shot for shot parody of an episode. Guess it could just as easily be of all of them.
Oh, no, it was a common scene that indeed could have been any of them.
