Did you know Maury and The Jerry Springer Show became your guilty pleasures in the same month, 2,392 years ago? Or you first fell in love with Oprah from your couch that was really an ice block back in the Stone Age? How about the fact that Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory debuted when people still churned their own butter?
Maybe not, but that’s how it feels.
As we embark on 2016, we find it necessary to tip our hats to some of the greatest moments in pop culture that have very big birthdays this year. You may be shocked. You may feel an overwhelming sense of nostalgic fuzzies. And you will most certainly feel as old as a fossil. Take a look below, and help us wish some of your favorite movies, shows and albums a very happy birthday. Time flies when you’re a stan.
