Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

It might have been a situation like the A-Team, which was essentially for kids, but presented as something for adults, so you thought you were super-cool for watching it as a child (and didn't realise until later that you were in exactly the intended demographic).

I don't remember that! I had to do a search. But I remember the A-team.

Air Wolf was a cool helicopter instead of a cool car. Later seasons were very bad as they weren't allowed to film them flying because of stunt crashes. So it was all recycled footage.
