They trigger our time loop thoughts back to when life was more " safe" and trusting... these shows aired from the 70's thru 2000....like music triggers back to a time we experience a life of predictability...we think of when we first heard the song, people we were with and mostly fond memories...

This helps us stay grounded thru the dystopian regime....

The Walking Dead....it shows me we can survive this tRump/puttin toxic waste environment.......The Walking Dead characters, they show us many varieties of dysfunction responses to the doom....if we stick together and fight with some sense of morality and respect...we survive.
