Ebay? lol<br /><br />Hubs definitely has assumed that since he was so young, it is his perceptions & memories that are lacking (the Brady thing surprised him but he did say that he was quite annoyed that the news preempted his favourite shows & then his parents put he & his brother to bed, so it was a bad day all around in his child mind. lol). He remembered having the same multicolor jacket as the son. And I've seen that owl lamp (hideous thing) in pictures of the den of one of my aunts. I think I wanted to believe the decor of the 70s had clear deliniation from the 80s but I must be wrong. It's all brown, orange, chevron & animal everywhere. <br /><br />The photocopiers are ginormous! I can imagine needing one person to handle all that just for an office. smittenkittenorighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00245109936279162868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-59709420297351610782013-03-21T13:04:31.236-04:002013-03-21T13:04:31.236-04:00Smittenkitten, I'm a little older so was actua...Smittenkitten, I'm a little older so was actually in my late teens when this show is set and while I haven't been watching for mistakes, so far I've seen so many things they've done right in the set. Down to their son's clock radio. I know that exact clock radio. And the photocopier last night. Wow. I certainly remember when photocopying was a job because it took so freaking long. One page at a time. <br /><br />I wonder where they're finding all this stuff.<br /><br />Last night... they put some conflict back between the fake husband and wife. And I'm not 100% sure I believe she'd turn on a dime so quickly. But maybe. Still finding it delicious.<br /><br />And of course I'm starting to get interested in the pretty female Russian and the FBI guy and whether or not she's going to turn into a double agent and get info from him...

She's worried about where it's going, but for the moment it's very engaging. Will check it out!!!<br /><br />We just got Apple TV, so I will FINALLY watch Sons of Anarchy, if I don't get lost in a total series rewatch of West Wing first...Molly O'Keefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171236688541657736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-42764932153855463752013-03-21T07:17:28.828-04:002013-03-21T07:17:28.828-04:00My husband & I are loving The Americans! It...My husband & I are loving The Americans! It's everything you've described. My husband was around the age of the characters' son (I wasn't verbal in '81) so he's enjoying trying to fit in his memories with the things that happen. In the ep where Reagan was shot, he said he didn't remember James Brady being reported as dead (when obviously he wasn't). I also am just fascinated at how much everyone gets done & how long information takes to circulate since there's no email, 24 hour news or mobile phones. They use phone booths all the time!!<br /><br />I definitely have Bates Motel on my must see list as well as Top of The Lake (Sundance Channel).smittenkittenorighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00245109936279162868noreply@blogger.com
