I was thinking today that some subjects that are left behind from the past are still as useful today as they were in the past, so why have they become outdated?
My example if you are old enough to remember is 'The Generation Game'
Or you could pick 'It's a Knockout'
Family TV programmes are the subject that I have chosen, but you could find other examples.
I don't see why 'The Generation Game' is outdated, so I was wondering if residual memory is playing a part in blocking some popular entertainment. I am thinking that the brain requires a sort of nourishment that can be shared over many generations. It's not like Elvis Presley becoming outdated, because that could be more to do with youngsters wanting their own identity, but 'The Generation Game' is so easily accessible to all generations that I am looking for other reason for it not to return to our screens.

I just thought of another good example...
The Benny Hill Show
It was watched by millions in Britain, and then became outdated, but the American's who didn't have The Benny Hill Show loved it many years later. In Britain we were a bit stunned by the American's loving this old show.
You see? that could well be residual memory filling in the Benny Hill gap in the brain for more than the generation that saw it.
