    Oh lol no, I just didn’t have television growing up so pretty much every reference from that era (that I haven’t sought out as an adult) is lost on me. TY for explaining though!

      Ooooh ok. That would also explain that.

      I … had a neighbor family that was like that, while growing up… figured that was pretty weird and uncommon though.

      … It would give you a very interesting perspective on 90s era TV shows though, having not had the same baseline as most others.

        Hippy parents, it was a good time but we never really lived anywhere that could get cable or reliable public television, so if they didn’t have it on tape at the library I never saw it. Always had great computer equipment, though!

          Thats funny.

          My neighbor family was near the exact opposite:

          Extremely hardcore fundamentalist Christians.

          Tried to homeschool all their kids, problem was, they kept popping out too many of em, Mom couldn’t handle it, so they ended up getting basically K-5 homeschooled and then middle school and up, into public school system, with negative social skills.

          Like, my fundie family thought they were nuts.
