        Hmmmm....

        Mentions of UFO made me think.... the show WAS dated, and then it wasn't, and now it is again 'cos of how trends work. It was made in the 70's, and supposedly set in the 90's.... even though everything looked REAL 70's.... but what was cool in the real 90's? The 70's.

          Not sure if this was mentioned, but the Invaders and the X Files still hold up.

              I remember a bit that the original concept was the "Galaxy" class was ment to be a multi generational exploration ship designed to leave the galaxy. Hence the families, holodecks and at least 1 synthetic crewman to serve every generation. Would have been a better story. Instead the program got nixed and the best ship class in star fleet ends up running currior errands and mapping gaseous anomolies.

                  Techincally any reference to a Pay phone or phone booth (Superman's dressing room" is dated but is correct for the Fleisher cartoons shot when they were aplenty (and it makes the scene of the half booth in the first night sequesnce in Superman The Movie a great laugh as Chris looks for a place to change). Superman the movie itself isn't dated but the newsroom sure is becuase it was set it it's time

                  I think what Mike really means is some writing styles can becomre almost generic for an era and even in a sci fi film you can tell when it was made

                    The Twilight Zone is like 52 years old and it still hits on all cylinders for me (well most of 'em anyway....there've always been some stinkers)

                      I think part of Zone's appeal is they're all in B&W

                      It kind makes them timeless
