Not sure if I'm putting this in the right place now that the site's been changed. Okay, this was a major geek moment for me. I noticed a Weber kettle in an episode of the Goldbergs "The Darryl Dawkins Dance" and it appears that the kettle is too new for when the episode was to have taken place. Here's where the geek moment comes in. In the episode Adam and his grandfather go to see the Transformers movie where Optimus Prime dies. I looked it up and the movie came out in 1986.
Here's the scene where I saw the Weber Kettle in the background.
That's clearly an bucket style ash catcher in the background. I've been trying to find the history of the 80's grills on the site, but I can't for the life of me verify that this didn't exist in 1986. Although I'm pretty sure it didn't. I got a ton of crap from my family just for even noticing. I'm sure you can all relate. Regardless, I'm sure you guys can tell me for sure. Post back and let me know so I can at least feel vindicated.
Thanks!
