This thread reminds me of a scene in the
Farscape episode "Kansas", in which the crew of Moya (the living starship) follow the lead character, John Crichton (a human astronaut who accidentally trigged a wormhole, blowing him to a distant galaxy), to Earth in 1985 (when Chrichton was a teenager). Aeryn Sun (who, as a Sebacean, looks identical to humans) watches
Wheel of Fortune and
Sesame Street to learn English.
Good thing it was 1985 instead of 2002 (when the episode aired), because back then
Wheel and
Street were arguably much better shows than they are now.
