Among the things that made it so good was the subtle details to the humor. The "Twin Pines Mall" name change to "Lone Pine Mall" still amuses me to this day.

I didn't think it would be make today mainly due to the context. The desire of 1985 to be like 1955 is very different from the desire of 2025 to be like 1995.
