It's not anymore silly than the TNG episode The Royale or any of the ones centered on Dixon Hill or Captain Photon, (or some of the other crap people fixate on and bring to life in the Holodecks) those were all (supposedly) 20th century literature/TV brought to life in the 24th century for our heroes' delight or torment. It's certainly not any worse than Tucker (on Enterprise) liking to watch old horror movies on movie night, which is even brought up by a few of his fellow crew members.
