I remember when I first saw that episode, I was all "What? What's with the polka dots?". I believe I consoled myself with the thought that it was 1998 and that sort of shit went down all the time...
It's the other way round: the polka dots become cool by definition because Danny's wearing them. He's saying yes, I'm the stiff in the dinner jacket, but I happen to have a personality and I'm going to put my own little spin of cuteness on it, so there.
Although I find it hard to forgive any of the boys the ultimate sartorial crime of the shirt and tie + jeans combo.
Give the mobile phones another couple of years (I'm still using my first one from about four years back, I can't afford to upgrade, so the ones on Sports Night don't look so bad to me). When they reran American Gothic last year, I was sitting there thinking "Why, this has hardly aged at all!" And then someone started talking into a brick.
The establishing shot of the World Trade Centre freaks me out every time, though. Which is unfortunate, given we get it about twice an episode. (I'm learning to tune it out.)

See, I'm fond enough of ties to totally forgive them that faux pas.

*sniggers* Yes, I know that feeling. Old stuff doesn't seem old until you notice the friggin' *huge* size of the technology. Much like me re-watching Weird Science, and going 'ohmigod, look at the size of that computer!'.

Doesn't bother me at all. At all. Then again, I'm used to the old skyline. I have seen the new one often enough for it to have taken residence in my head as the "real" one.
