On shows like The Chase younger contestants invariably stumble on a lot of the pop culture questions, unless it's something that happened in the last fifteen years.On Pointless, the presenters give young people who use the "before my time" excuse a pretty rough ride. And it is a very lame excuse when it comes to historical figures or world events. But in terms of older TV shows, even the most studious of younger people are likely to get tripped up. I've probably picked up information about - or could guess at - shows, films and songs that were before my time that I've never watched. But a great deal of that is because I spend so much time here. And your example from The Fugitive is a really good example of one that I'd struggle with if put on the spot.</blockquote>
