Subject: If you were to make a show what cultural period or year would it be based off?

Written By: Wobo on 03/30/18 at 9:09 pm

For me it would be 2010 it would be based off early 2010s culture references ect.

It would most likely be the mid-2010's because it's an era that I have a vivid memory of so it'd be easier for me to know how it was truly like. I truly experienced that era, I know how music sounded, what people wore, the latest trends, the slang, etc.

Yeah I would also chose the Mid 2010s like 2015

2014 is the most interesting year of this decade. The Silicon Valley show is perfect, lol. Peak hipster year.

2008 for the 2000s, it has everything.

1996 for the '90s, the "cynical '90s" is there but making way for the cheery Y2K portion.

1968 for the '60s, duh.

1979 for the '70s, it feels like one big party.

I'd be about a family in the late 00's/early 10's.

Season 1: 2006
The kids find out about YouTube and try to make a viral videos. They also see a commercial for the Nintendo Wii, but can't get one for Christmas because they're sold out.

Season 2: 2007
The older kids try to convince their parents upgrade their flip phones to iPhone, they're parents weren't keen. They discover Facebook this year.

Season 3: 2008
Talk about the 2008 Election. The parents support Obama. The family starts having financial problems do to the recession.

Season 4: 2009
The oldest brother starts his senior year and is afraid to graduate in 2010. The family reacts to all the celebrity deaths in 2009.

Season 5: 2010
The oldest brother graduates high school and goes to university. The iPad comes out and they're family buys several of them and are fascinated by the device. One of the kids ends up breaking theirs.

Season 6: 2011
The kids find out about Epic Rap Battles of History and decided to make they're own fanmade rap battles themselves. They end up beige very cringe worthy. One of the kids gets a 3DS for Christmas, forgets to turn the 3D effect off, and damages their eyes.

Season 7: 2012
This is when the kids find out about Instagram and take loads of pictures. The Wii U comes out, one of the kids asks for one, and the parents say "But we already have a Wii." The kid tries to explain the difference.

Season 8: 2013
The oldest daughter graduates high school and becomes a famous YouTube vlogger. She visits VidCon. She later becomes a Vine Star. The kids who are still at home are 15, 12, and 8. The 12 and 15 year old boys end up getting into other and aren't home often. The family doesn't feel the same anymore and the series ends with the parents thinking back on the good days.

That would be cool, like Mad Men but 2000s. I actually thought up a story that could work with this, maybe I'll type it up later ;D

I would make a show based on the cultural periods of the 1980's.

It's somewhat like That '70s Show, Forrest Gump, and Mad Men. Except the show would be centered on a kid born in 1989 who experiences several cultural and political events throughout the 2000s. He also would have a little brother that would be a few days old in the first episode. The teenager would represent how 90s kids felt about the 2000s, where as the little brother would represent how 2000s kids (especially me) would experience the decade.

I will certainly make a series about late 90s borns going through live. Meaning the seasons would look like this:

Season 1: Early childhood memories => 2003
Season 2: Early teen years memories => 2012
Season 3: College years => 2017
Season 4: Young adults => 2022
Season 5: Conclusion => 2029

Of course the series would debute in 2029 8)

It sounds like the show would have been better off as a TV mini-series.

I wanna see a That 00s Show, where Eric and Donna are the parents of a normal goofy kid (like Eric was) whom hangs out with an emo, a skater, and a Jamaican guy. He has a girlfriend who idolizes Avril Lavigne and Kelly Clarkson, and also they hang out with an annoying poppy girl who likes party rap, this girl dates the emo, the skater, and the Jamaican all at least once in the series.

Also, Red Forman is living with Eric, as he's ageing and can't take care of himself anymore... and he brings a lot of "foot in your ass" quotes to the table...

I would imagine the show would take place between 2003-2007 since that's probably when that goofy kid would probably be in high school.

If it were my own life it would start early 2004 on my 11th birthday and end in late 2009 when I'm 16, because those years were the worst and that would make a good movie ;D

If I would make a show based off my personal life, it would've been based off my elementary school years to my 7th grade year.
