[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 41 years old and an American raised in Europe by parents who did not believe in watching television or listening to popular music so I miss so many cultural references made by my friends and associates now.  I graduated from the equivalent of high school in 1993 and college in 1997.  I would love to hear any cultural references in regard to TV and music.

For example, I just watched the 1990 - 1993 seasons of "Beverly Hills, 90210" and seasons 3 to 6 of M*A*S*H and learned a great deal (as well as enjoyed them).

Thank you for all suggestions!  [/quote]

OP, I really wouldn't stress about the cultural references.  I never saw an episode of 90210 until it was in syndication and I don't think I missed much.  I could never get into Seinfeld but have friends who love it.  So I've heard lots of references but will never get the joke.

Some of the shows mentioned on this thread are worth watching b/c they're entertaining.  But I don't think you could pay me to sit through the Brady Bunch again even though I watched it as a kid.  If you want to get a general sense of what was popular, watch those "Remember the x decade" compilation shows that they show on VH-1.

But if you want a chuckle, track down the Carol Burnett show.  The skit they did on Gone with the Wind is hilarious (provided you've seen the original movie).
