Two Nancy Drew matte picture covers made an appearance on the CBS drama Swingtown on the Thursday, June 19th episode. The girl is donating her Nancy Drew books to the book drive, and her mother remarks, "Your Nancy Drews! We read these together when you had the chicken pox!"The daughter replies, "Got to make room on the shelves somehow. Time to move on."
The show is set in the summer of 1976, but the books used do not have the blue ink on the top of the page edges, as seen in this screen capture. This means that these particular books are from the 1980s and were printed in the few years just before the binding was switched to the flashlight edition. Even so, the props department still did a good job. They did know that the matte picture covers are the older ones, and the average viewer wouldn't know the difference.
