I Love The 70s

Recommended Posts

There were a lot of stupid fads in the 90's.

 

Pogs? Tomagotchis? Hypercolor shirts? Balsac Water Balls? The Virtual Boy?

Don't forget the Spice Girls.... the only good thing about that group is they made a movie in which Alan dances around in an orange mid-riff shirt...RAWR!

 

I wonder if, during the ILT90s, or whatever it's called, they'll talk about the old X-Men cartoon.

they could cover TGIF!! W00T~!

 

Family Matters at 7, Boy Meets World at 730, Step By Step at 8, Hanging With Mr Cooper at 830...and 20/20 Friday at 9, baby!

 

Full House, Family Matters, Step By Step, and something else was the best TGIF. Recognize.

 

Full House was such a fucking great show. I loved it. I hope they release it on DVD.

There's quite a bit of material for I Love the 80's Strike Back, I wouldn't bring Michael Ian Black back cause his schtick got really old during the later episodes of I Love the 70's. In fact I don't think they covered the Michael Jackson craze on the first I Love the 80's.

Jackson got his dues in the 84 episode of ILT80s with them covering the phenomena surrounding Thriller.......

Great, all the '80s stuff that wasn't cheesy enough to make it the first time around.

They missed a TON of stuff in the 80s series: Nightmare on Elm Street, Friday the 13th, revival of GI Joe in the series's trademark 3 1/4ths size, the launch of the NES, Metallica (why the fuck did they single out Rick fucking Ashley's Never Give You Up for the video spotlight in 1988 and not Metallica's "One"?) , Donald Trump, Bloom County, Garfield, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, the first Batman film, Steel Magnolias (one of the first films that was outright and unashamedly marketed as being a chick flick), the Flowers in the Attic movie (which caused a big stir do to the incest theme of the books being chopped out of it), the Droids/Ewok cartoons, Transformers the Movie (which featured the controversial death of Optimus Prime, which traumatized thousands of kids), MTV reviving the Monkeys single-handedly, Risky Business, REM's "The One I Love" (VH1 shocked me that they picked the more popular and less mainstream consumed End of the World As We Know It for their REM spotlight and 87 video spotlight segment), and much, much, much more.....

why the fuck did they single out Rick fucking Ashley's Never Give You Up for the video spotlight in 1988 and not Metallica's "One"?

because rick astley's so much easier to make fun of.

Yeah, that "I'm a whi-i-te boy, with a big ol' bla-a-ck voice!" cracked me up.

I Love the 90's must have the Martha Washington, the woman with the big voice and big body that was held down because she was not one of the "beautiful people".

Martha Washington started out as a background singer for Sylvester in the late seventies and then was one half of the Weather Girls which did It's Raining Men. She was around for years before the ninties stuff where they had models lip sinching her.

The '90s = the decade pop culture died.

 

I pretty much like VH1's I Love The... series for the clips, but can often do without the "expert" commentary, which tends to make everything sex-related and the like. Also, I loved how they "honored" Richard Dawson as a drunk in the Family Feud clip. And hey, let's slam Ray Combs in there too while you're at it! From the same episode, there was the Gong Show, which was a little better but not immune from cluelessness. Jamie Farr, "out of work?" Hello? I think there was a little TV show in the very decade you're covering. M*A*S*H or something...
