Star Trek: The Original Series used its futuristic, science fiction setting to reflect on big questions about the present, like where did Captain Kirk get that cute wrap top? Why does everyone on the Enterprise have such pointy sideburns? And what was Nichelle Nichols' quad workout?

We watched:

S1E28 - The City on the Edge of Forever

S2E15 - The Trouble with Tribbles

In 1993, there were two different animated series based on Sonic the Hedgehog. One was a silly slapstick show with a lot of jokes abut chili dogs. The other took place in a dystopia where a group of freedom fighters try to topple fascism.

We watched:

Sonic the Hedgehog S1E8 - Harmonic Sonic

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog S1E8 - Lovesick Sonic

Do the Mario!

We watched:

S1E39 - Caught in a Draft / Bad Rap

S1E10 - Magic's Magic / Cold Spells
