But I wonder if their knowledge of TV is also as deep.

When I was a kid the TV was filled up with a lot of repeats of TV shows. Things that had been create 10,20 or even 40 years before. I'd watch them because there were not many other options (probably because new shows were too expensive to waste on offpeak timeslots)

I wonder what percentage of today's kids would recognize any of the below shows beyond the name (or more-recent revivals) let alone have watched a large number of episodes.

As someone born at the end of the 70s, and not anywhere near the US, I was kind of surprised by how many of those 60s shows I knew. (which also says I never realized they were that old...)
