[timster]

Hell Yeah!

[Slayergrrl]

Woooo Hoooo!
Has anyone been watching "I love the 70's"?

[P.Buttercup]

I try to catch I Luv the 80s when it comes on..wonderful! Haven't seen the 70s one yet however. October eh? I am marking my calendar!

[jen*]

I've been watching the I Love The 70s specials on this week. Last night they started advertising I Love The 80s Strikes Back! It's supposed to air in September. :D

[83survivor]

But mine did say October!! Is it because I am from the Northeast or something? It didn't say September! confused2

[David]

I had my childhood in the 70s. I try to catch what I can of the 70s shows. I did not realize how old I am, and how much I remember about the 70s! I died laughing when they talked about the Electric Co.! But they did not say anything about Spiderman on the Electric Co.!!! I am so looking forward to the 80s shows, whether it airs in September or October.

[Taz]

Very cool! :thumbsup2 I'll be watching for it! :likeit:

Nope! You're right. I watched again tonight and it said October. Oopsie. :)

Did you guys see the Band-Aid commercial tonight? John Travolta and Lisa Kudrow singing, "I am hooked on band-aid cause band-aid's hooked on me!" :rofl:

[Paula]

Yes! I caught that Band-Aid commercial yesterday! It was pretty funny, but wasnt that Terri Garr?

And I'm totally excited they're having another 80's show!:clap:

Great news 83! I'm looking forward to the next one! I still hope they put the last one on DVD! When I visited VH-1's message board, everyone was interested in having a DVD. I'll be interested to see if they produced one yet.

[MDC]

I am quite thrilled to hear about another I Love the 80s mini-series! I guess the first installment was so immensely popular, they have to make another one to cover all the great things they left out the first time! :clap:

[David]

I have missed two episodes of "I Love the 70s", I'm not gonna fret. I'm sure VH1 will show it a few thousand more times. I did notice something about this particular series unlike the 80s. Did it seem like at EVERY chance a person had to comment about a toy, TV show, person, novelty-whatever-there was somehow a sexual innuendo mixed in with it? I mean EVERYTHING!! Still fun to watch.

[83survivor]

I pratically didn't watch the whole I Love 70s series because I am not a 70s fan. Disco, bell-bottoms, and Barry Manillow.....blech:yuck: That just didn't do it for me. I am possibly forever an 80s fan........:)

[timster]

I phreakin' hooked on VH-1...I managed to hook up a spare TV in the kitchen and I've been glued ever since. If a DVD comes out, damn, I would dish out some bucks for it.....me first!

[Adam]

Me too Tim. It would be nice to have a copy for the library. LOL 83survivor! I wasn't a big fan of disco and bell bottoms back then either, but looking back at it now, the 70s were a pretty cool time. Not as great as the 80s of course. ;)

I've watched a few episodes of "I Love the '70s" (1973-1979) and I don't think they did as good a job with that as they did, "I love the'80s".
It seems like they just threw some '70's things together and that was it.
Like, for 1977 they talk about a toy called "Klik-Klaks". It was also called "Klackers". They were 2 balls on a string, then you click them together really fast.
Anyway, those actually came out in like 1970 or '71, and they were pretty much done by 1972. The ones I had were made of GLASS! And I remember my mom taking them away from me when kids started getting hurt from them. (I was like 7 or 8)

Anyway, I thought that the shows were very unorganized, and they left out a lot! They didn't talk about the '70s teen idols, like Leif Garrett, Shaun Cassidy, Scott Baio, Parker Stevenson.
(Leif Garrett was on the show, but they didn't talk about his singing/acting career or Shaun's)
I just think they could have done a better job with it. They could have talked about some of the '70s rock bands. They only talked about Kiss, Led Zeplin, The Who and a brief mention of Aerosmith and Queen.
They did a really good job with "I Love the '80s"
So I guess I'm just a little dissapointed!:rolleyes:

[Molly]

D'oh, I forgot to ask my Mom to tape this, since it was going to be on all day today. Oh well, I'll have to see when it's on again.
I saw the shows on and off yesterday, and I can't believe all the things that I remembered. I love 70s culture (especially the music). I'm just wondering if they'll have "I Love the 60s" next.
I can't wait to check out the new "I Love the 80s" series. I just hope Michael Ian Black isn't on it, because he was on the first I Love the 80s and he was on the I Love the 70s, and I'm getting sick of seeing him comment on EVERYTHING. I liked him in Ed and on MTV's The State, but he is just plain annoying. :p
My favorite part was when they showed Bernadette and the other Zoomer (can't remember his name). I remember trying to do that arm thing Bernadette did. I kept hitting myself in the face when I did it. :p Boy, I loved Zoom, I've seen the new version and it's just not the same.
Also, Bambi, where I'm from they were called Kik-Klaks. My sister had one, and I tried them once and gave myself a bloody nose. Those things are weapons. :rofl:

[83survivor]

Well, I can't wait for the sequel to I Love the 80s. This is totally cool!:D
