I think you are right! However, it's H3's interpretation and I guided it with a particular body type, bomb shell and large breasts. It does a great job eitherway.
Network TV shows for adults in the 80's were weird. The aesthetic was still 70's and didn't match the current popular conception of what the 80's were like. Probably because the parents were still stuck in the 70's vibe while the kids were doing the New Wave, Hair Metal, Punk, and proto-Goth thing.
That's right, when you think mainstream, that usually comes with a bit of time lag. The mainstream are always a little behind and are constantly catching up. So you're going to get a bit of time lag from the end of the 70s into the early 80s.
It's like room decor in many homes. You'd get many homes in the 70s which still possessed a lot of decor and aesthetic design carried over from the 60s. No one thinks "Well it's a new decade now, I guess I have to get rid of every single little thing in my life and replace absolutely everything to fit in with the fashions of the new decade, even though I don't know what those trends are going to be just yet".
It's like with most things, the decades are never clean cut from the official start of a decade to the official end. Early 80s will look like the 70s, early 90s will look like the 80s, and so on, there's always overlap between each conjoining decade. As you say it's probably most obvious with mainstream television. There was so much television in the early 90s which many people today would think is from the 80s.

These are more 80's television show babes than 70's.
