When you made a TV show about the seventies, you could just call it That ’70s Show. Was that title clever, or was that title lazy? It was impossible to know. But it was clear that the show would refer to things from the seventies, sometimes as a joke and sometimes as a heartfelt expression of joy. So did that make it satire? Was it a tribute? Maybe both. Maybe neither. Maybe it didn’t matter. Whatever. Who cares? Just get on with it. Just look at the pants.
