1984 references

When tv shows; cartoons, sitcoms, etc... show a segment of the past of the characters in the 80s, why they choose 1984? writers have that much admiration for 1984 (the book) or something? HOWEVER THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO THINK ABOUT

its some kind of pattern... however, must not jump to any conclusions... not bad to ask some questions, but lets not strain on it too much... u americans got that fiscal cliff to worry about, and IRAN

With no examples provided of what you are talking about, I find myself in complete agreement with your frank admission. There really isn't anything to discuss here.
