The production in this show is getting sloppy.

Note to the producers...

In the year 2000 flat screen monitors were very expensive, rare, and not considered practical in the work place. CRT monitors could outperform them at a much lower cost. I don't recall any businesses using them until around 2004. (And the CRT's at that time were still better)

It was shocking to see all the flat screen monitors (some 16x9) in the episode "Lost In Translation", which took place in 2000. I didn't see one CRT in the whole episode, except in stock footage only. (The stock footage should have given you a hint, BTW)

Moving on...

You guys do a great job of recreating the 60's and 70's but for some reason you just can nail the 80's...Although to be fair most movie/TV productions can't.

Many seem to think that once 1980 rolled around that all men had short and immaculately cut hair...That's not so. Not all Police officers, for example, had military style hair cuts. Some still had side burns or even hair layered over their ears...Probably up until '85.

In "Disaster on the Potomac" (1982) I'm seeing styles I didn't see an abundance of when I lived then... Women with sleek, straight hair. (Long bangs). Watch the show MASH and you'll notice when '79 started rolling around, women were layering their hair. Straight was OUT. Curly with bangs was in. (Watch the movie Working Girl.)

In 1982 a lot of men in the work place had full beards, moustaches, hair over their ears, even perms. Men rarely shaved their heads bald. The late 70's look was was still alive and well then. Look how Alex Trebek looked in 1984 and up.

Of course I notice other errors too like fashion and headphones. Weren't they still using those 'stethoscope style' headphones in the 80's? I don't remember flight crews handing out Walkman style ones until the mid to late 80's.

I'm sure all this is minor and petty to some people, but to others, getting the styles right improves the look and feel of the show...Especially for people who lived back then.
