I loved 'The Rockford Files' when I was growing up.

Rewatch and notice that they used exact amounts of money in the dialog. "Hey, this is a $75.00 jacket" or "$5 for a martini?"

They don't do that anymore, because prices from even five years ago seem insane.

I recall in iRobot they had two beers at a bar and it was like $50.

I think we're ahead of schedule at this rate.

Edit: $46.58 for two beers in 2035.

The 58 cents is what sells it.
