Saying goodbye to the decade that brought us selfies, Alexa, and fidget spinners…and not a minute too soon.

A history lesson so big, it’s gonna have to be its own subseries.

23. (Semi-)Lost TV Series (Personal Favorites)
Some shows were pre-destined to land in the dumpster or collide with the ol’ bulk eraser…here are five of them that have (at least) somewhat cheated fate.
24. Switched-On Archive (Carlosploitation)
…or, how an unlikely hit album launched an even more unlikely tidal wave of cash-ins and imitators. In a way, it’s the perfect Archivism.
