I must read it. You're not the only one I know who adores it.
but it was SO cringeworthy in terms of cultural awareness.
That is a major downfall of watching a show made thirty years ago. You remember that show I was watching, Life On Mars, that was set in 1973? It really did a good job of recreating the cultural issues that abounded in TV shows of that era, and while I knew that was one of the points it was trying to make, it still made me extremely uncomfortable at times, maybe because I had lived through it and probably wasn't overly aware of it at the time.
