On Thanksgiving, my nephew, just going to college now, was watching "The Princess Bride". He said he loved the movie, memorized lines and stuff.

Peter Falk is the "narrator" of the story, and I started making jokes like he was Columbo telling a fairy tale.

He (and his younger sister) didn't know who the fuck Columbo was, even after years and years of reruns.

On another note, seeing a headline about Matt Lauer in line at the supermarket, I made a comment to the checkout girl how I didn't see how he would have TIME to get into any 'scandal'. S

She didn't know who Matt Lauer was, I told her he was the host of "The Today Show". The checkout girl looked at me like I had lobsters coming out of my ears.

There was an older woman in front, still bagging her groceries. I turned to her and told her I remembered when it was Hugh Downs and Barbara Walters on the Today Show. The old woman looked at me like I had taken a shit on the floor...
