For the purpose of Buffy-slashfic writing, of course...
Assume that Kennedy is in the 18-22 age range when she appears in the show. That'd mean that she hit her teens somewhere between 1993 and 1997. So which TV show(s) would she have been obsessing over? A few years earlier and it might have been Twin Peaks or 21 Jump Street, for example.
ETA: Would it be entirely unreasonable to say that she somehow got hooked on Happy Days?

One thing to consider - apparently american TV likes to rerun things alot so you could always reference Knightrider, Streethawk, Dukes of Hazzard, Miami Vice etc. as these should be familiar to any kid growing up in that time frame.

Jerry on "Seinfeld" had a spiffy classic convertible that he did not appreciate, to the point of his mechanic stealing the car so it would not be mistreated.
Or maybe she would like Prince's custom Goldwing motorcycle from _Purple Rain_, a movie channel staple.
