Line 137:
* ''Jimmy McDonald's Canada'' was a parody of current events shows from [[The Sixties]], filmed in black and white, and occasionally stopping to advertise cigarettes. Richard Waugh, who played Jimmy, somehow managed to convey "[[The Sixties]]" in his very speaking voice.
* ''[[Mad Men]]'' on AMC is supposed to be set in the early 60s, and is filmed with a dark, slightly fuzzy/grainy look to it. This is in keeping with the show's obssessive focus on setting—the furniture is all vintage, along with the clothing. Even to the point of making the actors wear authentic undergarments that are never seen.
* ''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'' was deliberately filmed with old camera lenses to give it that authentic [[The Seventies|70s]] [[Western]] feel.
* The DVD menus of ''[[The IT Crowd]]''. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoOkoP5GGQI The first series] is a pastiche of vintage computers, complete with tape loader and extremely elaborate (for a DVD '''menu''') parodies of ''[[Head Over Heels]]'' and ''[[Jet Set Willy]]''. And [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAY52wyb6tM the second series] does to 16-bit games what the first did to 8-bit.
* ''[[Yo Gabba Gabba!]]'' has an 8-bit sounding opening, prominently features chiptunes during scene changes, and occasionally features episode filler scenes that pays homage to 80s video games, complete with blocky graphics.
