Would it be wrong if their next mayor was Michael Keaton?

Started watching The Crown on Netflix tonight. It's very good. I always wonder, though, how true to life it actually is. And Holy Smokes the production of this show could keep cigarette companies in business for some time.

Those were the times. Same can be said for Mad Men.
But I agree, that show is great. I also enjoyed "Victoria" on PBS. Rufus Sewell is the man.

One of the best scenes in Mad Men was early on (S1 I think) two housewives are talking and chain smoking while they rock their babies. Takes all the discipline you have not to reach through the screen and pluck their cigarettes away.
Fun fact for a kid who grew up in the 70s: I never saw anyone smoke in real life until high school. Where I grew up, smoking was a class marker.

A scene from the movie Dazed And Confused was similar. Mother smoking, while pregnant, IIRC, and the clerk giving her advice about healthy stuff......um..........
Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

The clerk also let a 14yo buy beer, so I don't think he was the sharpest tool in the drawer regardless of the time period.

My brothers would buy cigarettes from various stores back in the 70's, while they were just young, only 10 or 12 years old. People just didn't care back then, no matter what the law said.

I remember kids who were in high school when I was in 6th grade, so say 17 year olds in 1975, driving their cars while drinking beer and throwing the empties out on the road.
When I was in HS (1980) the "conventional wisdom" was you never drank hard liquor and drove but you could drink 7 or 8 beers at a party and drive home because "beer only gets you buzzed." This was something we absolutely believed.
