HAPPY DAYS was a show about the mid-1950s that debuted in 1974. If you remade it today with the same time differential, it would be set in the mid-2000s.

@gregpak Kids in the 60's thought music of the 40's was so old it grew mold. Contrasting, hip-hop is 50 years old and people still sing "We will rock you" at games. That time period Happy Days portrayed was technologically and socially transitional, which, I think, made it nostalgic.
