[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the Challenger thing, if the kids were conceived in January 1980, then they were born in late Sept. 1980. So they are 36 in 2016.

The kids likely would have entered kindergarten at age 4 (bc back then the deadline was a calendar year), in 1985. Which would put them in K in January 1986. So yeah, the writers totally messed up.

I really like the show but the writing does seem a bit sloppy. There was one line from this week''s episode that bothered me.  During the flashback scene when Miguel and Jack are sitting at the bar and Miguel asks Jack if Rebecca not wanting kids is a "deal breaker."  To me, that sounds like how people talk in 2016, not 1980. Of course, I was a toddler back then so I don't know exactly how people spoke in 1980 but that phrase doesn't seem like something people said. [/quote]

I was a teenager in 1980 and definitely heard the term "deal breaker" then. It was a couple of years later, but there was some early episode of Cheers where I remember Sam and Diane arguing about something being a "deal breaker."[/quote]
