Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A noble but doomed effort to do The Practice twenty minutes into the future.This series attempted to examine the legal and social ramifications of technology by shifting the setting forward a few years. Unfortunately, they elected to do this in a fashion that attempted to "normalize" the epoch by making the character arcs exactly like today's character arcs. The message being that the more things change, the more they stay the same.The audience probably already knew that.Note: Century City is also the name of the part of the City of Los Angeles where a number of movies and TV series have been filmed by 20th Century Fox, notably Battle for the Planet of the Apes and Die Hard.

Cure Your Gays
 Century City / int_9ce377f1
comment
Cure Your Gays: The pilot episode was shuffled around and eventually buried, as it dealt with the consequences of a pre-natal procedure that could reduce the chances of a child being born gay (most parents decided to have their kids born "normal," and the gay community was undergoing a slow withering). While the episode eventually concluded with a Gay Aesop, the subtext was hinky as all hell.

20 Minutes into the Future

20 Minutes into the Future: A textbook case. The year 2030 is far enough away to allow for significant technological and social change, close enough to relate to, and a nice round number.
