2005 feels like it was just yesterday, but according to math, it was 20 years ago. (!!!)

3. “Team Aniston” and “Team Jolie” merch that came out after Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston broke up, and he got with Angelina Jolie.

5. The tampering of Gabrielle’s (Eva Longoria) birth control by her husband on “Desperate Housewives”.
6. The reality show “The Will”. A millionaire has 10 of his loved ones compete to inherit his large Kansas ranch.
7. How race is portrayed in “King Kong”, with the racial stereotypes of the natives of Skull Island.
8. Jessica Alba in her underwear for no reason in “Fantastic Four”.
9. The aesthetic and concept of “The Girls Next Door” . . . the show about Hugh Hefner and his three “girlfriends”.
