David Sirota grew up with The A-Team, Family Ties and other popular TV shows of the 1980's. No only can he not get them out of his mind, he believes they shaped contemporary culture, and it's no coincidence that the 80's were the Reagan Years. Sirota's written about that influence in Back to the Future: How the 1980's Explain the World We Live In Now—Our Culture, Our Politics, Our Everything.
