| Jun 6, 2019 at 6:16 | comment | added | Elezar | And, I'm a year older than Chris Pratt (so presumably pretty close to the age that Quill is supposed to be), and Alyssa Milano was my first celebrity crush. Although I couldn't say for sure if that crash had developed by 1988 or not. | |
| Jun 6, 2019 at 6:15 | comment | added | Elezar | @AzorAhai 10-year-olds definitely watched it. Most of the popular sitcoms from the '80s were sitcoms designed for families to watch together. Shows like Who's the Boss, Family Ties, Growing Pains, The Cosby Show, and Roseanne were carefully tailored to appeal to both kids and adults. | |

| Jun 5, 2019 at 18:21 | comment | added | Valorum | @T.E.D. - For example; scifi.stackexchange.com/a/213624/20774 or scifi.stackexchange.com/a/137320/20774 | |
| Jun 5, 2019 at 18:20 | comment | added | Valorum | @T.E.D. - It's not at all uncommon for celebs and behind-the-scenes to respond to questions. We're not just about googling... | |
| Jun 5, 2019 at 18:08 | comment | added | Michael W. | @ThePopMachine Nope! I hadn't discovered girls yet in 1988. If I was abducted in 1988 and had to name my favorite person from pop culture, it probably would have been Michael J Fox... | |
| Jun 5, 2019 at 18:06 | comment | added | ThePopMachine | @MichaelW.: The real question is whether you had a crush on Alyssa Milano? | |
| Jun 5, 2019 at 18:05 | comment | added | Michael W. | @AzorAhai I'm very close to Quill in age, and I absolutely watched Who's the Boss in that timeframe. | |
| Jun 5, 2019 at 17:34 | comment | added | ThePopMachine | @AzorAhai: Most definitely. I don't seem to be able to track it down, but it would have aired daytime or primetime. | |
| Jun 5, 2019 at 17:04 | comment | added | Azor Ahai -him- | @ThePopMachine Did 10 year olds watch it? Lol | |
| Jun 5, 2019 at 16:56 | comment | added | ThePopMachine | @AzorAhai, Who's the Boss? was a major sitcom that aired on network TV from 1984 to 1992. | |
| Jun 5, 2019 at 16:30 | comment | added | Azor Ahai -him- | What would Quill have known Milano from? I've never heard of her before, and it doesn't look like she had an extensive filmography before his '88 abduction. | |

| Jun 5, 2019 at 14:43 | comment | added | OrangeDog | @ThePopMachine no, not at all. | |
| Jun 5, 2019 at 14:40 | comment | added | ThePopMachine | @OrangeDog: Certainly naming a ship after someone could cross the line into profiting from their fame. Anyways, the fact you don't need to doesn't mean they didn't ask as a courtesy. | |
| Jun 5, 2019 at 13:25 | comment | added | T.E.D. | @Valorum - I don't think these questions are intended to be a venue for original reporting, but I'm wishing you luck anyway. :-) | |
| Jun 5, 2019 at 12:11 | comment | added | OrangeDog | You do not, in general, consult or compensate anyone for pop-culture references in fiction. | |
