It's a shame that they'll have to make some music substitutions from the original airings, but it sounds like they're taking pains to make careful and appropriate choices.
I was at a meeting recently where I likened a situation to the WKRP episode with the drunk driving test where Johnny Fever got better and faster the drunker he got. Unfortunately, I was surrounded by a group of staff in their 20somethings. You know, there actually IS a cutoff point to pop cultural knowledge? They all stared at me blankly. Even after I said "As god as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly"?? Nothing. So sad.
I've sent them this link, so they can educate themselves. Also, the YouTube link. :)
