It's super effective.
No idea about CBS' Elementary, but hasn't BBC's Sherlock caused a considerable rift in what's considered the "right" Sherlock Holmes era? I think the whole reason that Gatiss and Moffat created it was to prove that the style and essence of the stories isn't "Victorian age".

I love Sherlock, but I don't think it's genuinely created a rift to that degree. Holmes is still widely considered Victorian and I'd imagine will continue to be that way.

Guys, "Setting Sherlock Holmes in (then) Present" has been done before - the famous Sidney Paget version was set in the then-present for instance...
Only the original books - and then only the ones that were written later - are stuck in the Victorian Age as opposed to set roughly concurrent to the time they came out in.
The Babysitter's Club example is really Not Allowed to Grow Up and not this trope, right?
It's super effective.
- A period which lasted only a couple months in England.
- If A Clockwork Orange is to be believed, many of those fads did linger into the early Seventies.
So which is it? Was the Swinging Sixties really brief, or did it extend into the 1970s?

Are the novels Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo considered Frozen in Time due to the references to the 1872 Cavite mutiny and the Luzon tobacco monopoly?

In the examples, I think there are many confusions with Refugee from Time (in a universe with Comic-Book Time, a character is linked to a specific historic event, so his apparent age becomes less and less realistic with the passing of time). As far as I understand, Frozen in Time is about universes where there is no Comic-Book Time, i.e. the setting does not change. I have removed some examples in the Comic Book section, but others should be removed too.
