Cars in the 60’s had bench seats that were pretty much couches. Hard to beat that.

Drive in theaters, soda fountains, and happy days still exist.
But they’ve mostly been improved upon

Bench seats were much closer to benches than couches.

Examples of this improvement?

Drive in theaters use your car radio now instead of those little speakers. Though overall the niche was replaced with movie theaters.
Fountain drinks are probably about the same. Though some places can do things like chilling the line. Again, the niche was largely replaced with cans and bottles. For their shortcomings, they keep fizz in much better than fountain.
They might have us beat on happy days. I didn’t watch it.

Happy days is terrible by today’s standards

Happy Days was fine when there wasn’t much on. The Golden Age of TV was much more recent though. People born in the '90s probably had the best TV at the right age. In 20 years they’ll be nostalgic for some really good shows
Those of us from the '70s and early '80s probably had the best movies and the most disappointment in their remakes and sequels (what’s the thought process? “We’ll get in on this movie nostalgia and redo this movie from the '80s. Let’s optimise it for 10 year olds”)
