This thread reminds me of a scene in the 
Farscape episode "Kansas", in which the crew of Moya (the living starship) follow the lead character, John Crichton (a human astronaut who accidentally trigged a wormhole, blowing him to a distant galaxy), to Earth in 1985 (when Chrichton was a teenager).  Aeryn Sun (who, as a Sebacean, looks identical to humans) watches 
Wheel of Fortune and 
Sesame Street to learn English.
Good thing it was 1985 instead of 2002 (when the episode aired), because back then 
Wheel and 
Street were arguably much better shows than they are now.
