That's where my confusion comes in. Note many quotes from really old stuff like Burns and Allen, the Alka-Seltzer commerical (70s), the Smothers Brothers and others. They cover the time periods that go back much farther than one could expect someone in that age range to remember. And if they did, then again, how'd they skip Laugh-In, which is from the same time as the Smothers and was one of the cultural pulsebeat shows of the day? And Mission: IMpossible???

Who the heck watches the O.C. enough to put that phrase up there with classics like "Yabba Dabba Do!" and "Space--The Final Frontier"??? And I've never even *heard* the supposedly classic line "That's hot" from Paris Hilton on "The Simple Life"! They left out some that I'd put on the list way before any crap from the O.C. or Hilton, like the following: "This tape will self-destruct in five seconds" (Unseen control voice, "Mission: Impossible") -- how the heck did they miss that one???
