* TwentyMinutesIntoThePast: The show aired in 2017 and is set in 2006, the year the Nasty Gal fashion company was founded (the series is a heavily fictionalized retelling of how this happened).


Added DiffLines:

* TurnOfTheMillennium: The show takes place in 2006, which is especially evident by some of the fashion choices (although Sophia herself is a bit of a {{hipster}} who favors vintage clothing), the technology (Sophia's chunky laptop is very early 2000s and she uses a digital camera rather than a cellphone to take pictures) and the fact Sophia uses [=MySpace=] to promote her business.
