You're right, I forgot The Beverly Hillbillies damn! I tried to be as thorough as possible.
Regarding Then & Now - I agree with Einstein and his belief that our four dimensional existence holds the illusion that there is a past, present & future, when there is not. Time is relative. I'm a firm believer in Eternalism, psychologically. Reading the paragraph of TV shows, your mind was taken back.
