...that I've been watching this show since 1989. What's happened since then?
The Berlin Wall came down The Tiananmen Square massacre The Soviet Union died Gulf War I Terminator 2 - Judgement Day Massive recession Somalia thing Civil wars in Yugoslavia The World Wide Web came along Email 9/11 Gulf War II "D'Oh!" entered the common vocabulary and some other stuff happened.
