6 | ->"Step 5: The violin, the drums, and the kjvynabyrsk might make it all feel a little bit old-fashioned, but this can easily be fixed by adding a DJ who pretends to scratch. In real life, of course, this is thirty years old, but in Series/{{Eurovision|SongContest}} it will give your number a contemporary feel." |

13 | ->''"But there's an even bigger problem with being a copy of a copy of [[Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration a show]] that premiered [[TheEighties in 1987]]: you end up completely disconnected from everything happening on primetime TV in [[TurnOfTheMillennium the 2000s]]. I'm not saying ''Enterprise'' should have made misguided attempts at being "contemporary", with [[JitterCam shaky hand-held cameras]], or [[Series/TwentyFour multiple scenes unfolding in split screen]], or [[KudzuPlot plot threads lasting for years]] (though, when the show was circling the drain, they did experiment with a season-long arc). But the simple fact is, the medium constantly evolves, and viewers constantly want something fresh and original. And it's getting harder and harder to do a TNG-style show with self-contained episodes that still feels fresh and original."'' |

16 | ->''"The reason it's so hard to fit contemporary references into [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons the Simpsons]] is because even though Homer and Marge are boomers, they have the cultural trappings of the writers' parents, so they are essentially a greatest generation couple. They were anachronistic even in the 90s."'' |
