* In the ComicBook/SunnySeries this is used to to help set the books as a PeriodPiece and HistoricalFiction, referencing [[AnyoneRememberPogs fads]], pop culture, and media of the era.
** ''Sunny Rolls the Dice'' is about Sunny starting to play and enjoy ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' with new friends.
** Sunny reads several comic books, including ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'', ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'', ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'', and ''ComicBook/SpiderMan''. Her favorite is ''ComicBook/SwampThing'' and later her father introduces her to ''ComicStrip/PrinceValiant''.
** Her grandpa asks about some movie about a shark that came out last year, ''Film/{{Jaws}}.''
** Sunny watches various [[SeriesOfThe1970s era-relevant TV shows]]. She watches ''Series/GeneralHospital'' at Deb's house, which gives Deb the idea to be nurses for Halloween. The family watches ''Series/TheSixMillionDollarMan'' one night (and Sunny pictures her brother getting "improved" like Col. Steven Austin), and she is watching ''Series/TheBradyBunch'' with Deb when she's worried about her brother Dale and that he possibly could be behind the recent MailboxBaseball. While watching ''Series/GilligansIsland'', Sunny worries she and Deb do nothing but watch TV, but Deb says they've got four channels and UHF, which leaves ''tons'' of things to watch and there's not enough hours in the day for everything.
** Sunny imagines performing songs with her brother the way Donny and Marie Osmond do.
** A van painted like the [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Mystery Machine]] is seen in the background on the way home from picking Gramps up from the airport in ''Sunny Rolls the Dice''.
