    1. I like reading these decade-in-review pieces, but I keep wondering: How many people looked back at the end of 2009 and said, "You know what was really important in this decade? That game show with Donald Trump in it. That's gonna change everything."

        2. How many people looked back from 1999 and said, "I feel like those embassy bombing in '98 are a prelude for something big, the sort of thing that separates one era from another"?

        3. How many people looked back in 1969 and said, "Landing on the moon is cool, but the really revolutionary tech event was when they launched ARPANET"?

        4. What I'm saying is: I feel like I'm just barely starting to make sense of the '00s here. Don't rush me on the '10s.

        Most people would have considered 9/11 and the 2008 financial crisis the most important events of the 2000s, and both had far more to do with Trump's election than "The Apprentice" did.

        Both of them are obviously more important than The Apprentice. But while they made it possible for someone to fill the slot that Trump eventually entered, I think The Apprentice was key to allowing Trump to be that someone.

        Agreed on the rush to evaluate. But on the reality show TV boom, that was flagged in the moment as a huge shift in the culture blurring the lines between real and fake/scripted. And The Apprentice was called out for revitalizing the Trump brand and NBC so ...

        People knew it was a significant moment in entertainment, but I don't remember anyone prescient enough to suggest it would help propel someone into the White House. (But maybe someone did, either seriously or satirically. If so, props to the prophet.)

        Jesse Ventura was elected as Governor of MN. in 1999 from a third party. The precedent was there.
