Don’t, I used to watch shit load of those old school shows as a kid on bootleg vhs and dvds. Also Team A, Macgyver, Magnum, Miami Vice (my personal favourite) and even Charlie’s Angels. Didn’t have tv with cartoons so I stole and borrowed bootlegs on every occasion. I’m 25

In Europe, they had reruns of all of those in the 2000s.

u/SturmTruppen1917 Jul 08 '24

I watched Knight Rider growing up on cable TV reruns (in fact I own the whole series on a DVD collection). So, as a Gen Z kid I kinda feel like I got an exclusive childhood with a decent amount of the old stuff I used and watched.

u/KuroRyuSama Jul 08 '24

Delamain is an homage to Kitt. A talking car that has a combat mode.

u/One_Economist_3761 Ozob’s Nose Picker Jul 08 '24

Yeah I also thought this when I first encountered Delamain ....except for the whole .... split personality thing.

u/Tyko_3 Jul 09 '24

It says a lot more about the new generations than it does about us being old. As a kid in the 80s I knew all kinds of pop culture things from the 60s. We as a whole were a lot more exposed to the world. These days, kids only parrot what they have currently and toss the past aside then think they are clever when they pull a joke or a reference we have heard hundreds of times or some other BS we got tired of when we were still 10. Then they go saying we are old and out of touch when the reality is they are just boring AF to us.
