* Justified in ''[[Lost]]''. The Dharma Initiative built research stations all over the island in the 1970s. The modern day islanders find and use these stations which leads to this.
* The [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] [[Dramedy]] ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'' seems to take place in a lavish [[The Fifties|1950s]] universe where people have modern-day sensibilities and things like the Internet exist. The female characters wear fashions that have a '50s look and the show regularly includes street scenes with both '50s and present-day cars, although the '50s cars always seem to have dominance. In one episode, it is stated that the year is 2007 (the same year it aired).
* Some of the [[Alternate Universe]]s shown in ''[[Sliders]]'' fit this trope.
* ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'' had a certain schizophrenia about it. The Twelve Colonies had had interstellar space travel for thousands of years, but their civilization was nonetheless remarkably similar to ours. Then the war with the Cylons forced them to abandon most computer-related technology and wireless communications except where absolutely necessary, so you end up with people living on spaceships whose [[Faster-Than-Light Travel]] is controlled by computers out of [[The Eighties]].
