...Okay, so the results from my friends on Facebook.<br /><br />This is the status I posted:<br /><br />"Would all of my friends, from, like...ages 15 to 25 answer a quick question for me? It's for an author friend who's unsure about a reference. Do you know who Mary Tyler Moore is? Do the words, "You're gonna make it after all" have any significant meaning to you? And do you know what I'm talking about when I mention the opening spin?"<br /><br />I don't know anyone older than 25, and most people that answered were probably closer to 17 - 23, but anyway...<br /><br />8 knew who she was but didn't understand the other two references, however, if I'd mentioned the hat throw/freeze frame it probably would have jogged more memories, but I thought it safest to use your words.<br /><br />4 had no idea what I was talking about at all.<br /><br />7 understood every reference, but one was confused by the "opening spin." She asked if I was talking about the hat throw...so again...<br /><br />2 had vaguely heard the name "Mary Tyler Moore" before, but nothing other than that.<br /><br />1 knew who she was and understood the opening spin, but didn't recognize the quote--which is the camp I fell into also.<br /><br />There you go!

As a 31-year-old, I can be classified as either Gen X or Y, depending on how you define it.<br /><br />But I don't watch much TV and I grew up without cable so I may be a bad example.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980711066816198415noreply@blogger.com
