I was wondering, how would, for example, Basil Fawlty or Hyacinth Bucket or Fred Sanford or the Fonz react to our 2019 world?

I'm not sure about the ones you mentioned (sorry), but I imagine that the social group from Big Bang Theory would feel quite taken aback and perhaps violated by the fact that their lives are a fictional TV series from our world's perspective. They'd be familiar with modern technology and such, though, so--with the possible exception of a certain Dr. Sheldon Cooper--their reactions might not be as much fun and/or uncomprehending as, say, those of That '70s Show characters.

As a matter of fact, I wonder how Eric Forman & Family would interact with Sheldon & Company, primarily because of their shared nerdiness/geekiness. Plus I'd like to see how the generation gap plays out between people living in the '70s and in the early 21st Century.
Furthermore, if Red gets annoyed at his son's constant Star Wars references, he'd be itching to "kick the asses" of the social group from the future.

I was just thinking about a little kid, nine, maybe ten years old. ending up in a seventies or eighties sitcom. Imagine little Lucy or John telling Basil and Sybil Fawlty about their fears of the 1970s government in the Fawlty world finding out that they come from the future ("they will hurt me to try to find out what i know about the future!")

Okay mullauna , i am going to give you your first WARNING, i made it clear several times that i like you taking part in many of the threads, but keep things related to young children ore child actress/model out of them, please do not do that again. |

Oh, and what about the characters of the iconic 1950s/early '60s sitcom, Leave It to Beaver? In the adults' case, I imagine shock, awe and no small amount of revulsion towards the 60-something-years-later world of 2019. The kids would no doubt be surprised--and certainly drawn in by "smartphones", "apps", "Youtube" and other new-age (and perhaps unexpected) technologies that we 21st Century folks take for granted--though I do wonder how they'd get along with their uptimer peers. |

I think Beaver would cope better with 2019 then one of his little girl friends from the show, Zyobot.
Beaver isn't going from a "not allowed to wear trousers to school" situation, for a start. *He* wasn't expected to be shy, quiet and play with and talk to his dolls.
