Not every one, just Star Trek TOS. :)

We're about even though, every time she sees a horse on screen she says "Why can't I ride a horse to work instead of driving our 20 year old Mazda?" Having lived in Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming, and having mucked a few horse stalls in my day--I know why we 9 billion people don't still ride them.

There’s not that much in TOS which is distinctly SoCal, since even most of the planetside “outdoors” sets were soundstages, with matte painted backgrounds.

The Gorn rocks are totally worth a visit. After we visited there, I showed my wife that episode, and while she still dislikes sci-fi in general, she now loves Star Trek TOS.

My grandmother was a child in the UK when horses were still common in the streets, which was also where all the children played. One thing she mentioned that stuck with me was that when children cut their knees falling in the road they would end up running green with pus - presumably from infections from the horse crap.
