Precisely! Bomb-shelter aesthetic, people living in a certain time and certain frame of mind even in the world of today. Grainy (analogue) television screens, the good old days - community trust and a sense of optimism about the world. All of those things - the sort of emotions and lost nostalgia (lostalgia?) some try to image back onto the past.

The couple's views were completely understandable - actually, I'd hold that up as an example of how to create relatable characters, even when those characters might have views somewhat askew to our own. Within the narrative of The Diner, it made sense after all... ;)
