Ho dear, although for quite awhile I have no longer been the youngest person in our office and my kids are beginning to out run me - on short distances, give me a bit of length and l'll catch the buggers up, but it won't be long
Did you try "the guy that was in Stargate" - it being more recent [90's ish] they may have recognised it? - I have recently be watching some of them again.

Bushcrafter (boy, I've got a lot to say!)
or maybe you forgot to say hashtag first
Same context we had some youths camping with us a while back and one of the young ladies said to me i was funny, i obviously replied with the Goodfellas quote of "What do you mean, you mean the way I talk? What?" to which she took offense thinking i was being shirty and when her face dropped and she looked upset i realised the age gap and needed to explain about Goodfellas

Must say Rev that though we're about the same age I never saw the show as we were sans telly in our household. But I know who he was through talking to folk. I got the same response when saying that something was a bit "Heath-Robertson"
There was absolutely no context there for them. Luckily they were able to Google him and got pretty engrossed in his drawings.

Nobody let him forget his MacGuyver days

That was great, i loved both shows at some point way back when, which 80's kid didn't want to grow up to be half Macgyver and half Stringfellow Hawke playing their chello whilst eagles soared above

LOL. And they actually left a quite similar line in the episode that aired, "Well just MaGuyver it." or something like.
I think O'Neil did refer to McGyver'ing something himself on Stargate in one episode
McGyver and the A-Team have a lot to answer for. Just ask my parents where the ideas came from that caused so many hole around the house and garden!

Airwolf was fantastic. I still can't watch any TV show that has the 'valley of the gods' in it without expecting to see Airwolf popping out of the top of one.....even the latest Ray Mears Wild West program lol
and i did have a bit of a boyhood crush on Caitlain
