You can date a tv show by the cell phones in use, or lack of.
Lewis season 5 and Elementary: Smartphones.
Wallander: Nokias and Ericssons.
80s shows: clunky big cell phone.*
Dragnet: desk phone and notepad.
Dashiell Hammett book/movie. No need to track calls, just ask the operator who called the dead guy's room.
*cityman was in use by 1987

Inhibition, well, you can fly
Out the window to the clear blue sky
It will mess your suit, it will make you cry
It doesn't matter, give me Mumdane pie
