Yes!!!

The 70s are my favorite decade for EVERYTHING, so I've been eagerly awaiting a round two of this! *crosses fingers for a Mary Hartman segment!*

Funny, of the three decades that they have done, the one they obsess the most over (the 80s) is my least favorite, while the one they obsess the least over is my absolute favorite.

I'm loving it. Looking forward to "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" on I Love 1976!

I truly do looooooove the 70s. The 90s come in second place because those were my years growing up and they truly bring back memories. The 80s are terribly overrated. And damn, they've done THREE of those things, but they didn't do "Knots Landing" in any of them.

I really hope for just one thing.

Let them please play If You Leave Me Now by Chicago when they do 1976. That was the biggest hit that year, and I was ticked they didn't do a segment on the song or the group the first time.

I think they went really overboard with the 80s stuff. That didn't make any sense. 3 of them? And I aslo agree, the 90s didn't deserve 2 specials either.

I'm surprised that the Mary Tyler Moore show didn't cut it the first time around. That was like one of the biggest shows in the early 70s.

The first time around, the 80s were cool. Then, during the second time, they were pushing it. But the third was totally unnecessary. I also liked seeing the 90s b/c that's when I was a child, so I knew most of what they were talking about, but the second one was pointless.

I think they need to do the 60s. It would be hysterical if VH1 brought on these drugged up hasbeens trying to remember 60s pop culture. Or the 50s:

"Drive-ins were like THE THING TO DO on a Saturday night! You put on your poodle skirt and your saddle shoes, Jimmy gets out his leather jacket, cuffed jeans, greases his hair with enough Brylcream to leave stains on the pillow, and you watch a movie in your car. Then you go to Lovers Lane and have mad sex."

I can totally see that. :lol:

My only gripe about these shows is that WHY do they have some people talking about the 70s when they weren't even AROUND during the decade?

ITA! I've never ever been a fan of Michael Ian Black. He annoyed me on the very first "I Love the 80s" and he has annoyed me ever since. Mo Rocca's not as bad as him, but he's extremely annoying too.

And oh my god Bree...I was talking to someone about that a few days ago. Couldn't you imagine it if they did "I Love the 50s?" And they had someone like Hilary Duff get on there and be like..."Oh my Gosh! We had a 50s day in elementary school! And I wore my grandma's poodle skirt!"

No.

Don't do a 50's version. All those 80-year-old people slobbering all over the place. They would spend half the special waking these people up.

But it would be fun. :D

And also, where was The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman? This is now the second time they haven't been on.

They've missed a lotta important TV shows this go round, IMO. The summary for I Love 1976 that my onscreen shows said that they'd do "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" and the TV movie "Sybil," but they did not.

Did they do "Rhoda" for 1974? Because that was also listed, but I don't remember a segment on it.

AND DAMMIT! Would it have killed them to do something on soaps? Hell, they could have just talked about them all collectively.

    • I'm not even sure why Zoe would care, even if they know each other offcamera.  I can't see Jean going, but if she is - good riddance at this point.
    • I just found the commercial on YouTube, with several other GL'ers doing the same commercial - how fun!

        She did the same for me once Ghost Reva arrived (the anxiety and paranoia) - which is when the storyline for Rick/Annie started, with their Chicago past and her alcoholism. But before all that, when she was new and tending to Josh's broken leg, she was just normal, sweet and very cute/flirty. 
    • I have to admit Annie exhausted me somewhat before she went nuts. So much anxiety. She and Robert were OK I guess. Didn't ever stick out much one way or the other.
    • I meant to ask in the May thread, but hey...it's not like it won't come up...   ...has our opinions of Jessica changed at this point? I know we debated at one point if she was sincere in her feelings for Ty or if she was in on his bullying. Now that a little more time has passed, what do we think? 
    • Which is why I said...and continue to say mind you...that the designer is still trying to figure out what works for which character...highlight my points with particular characters. And as I also agree with you, too many misses. She has not found a clear, firm rhythm for me. Yet.   I also agree that BTG does a much better job. But I'll give credit where it's due. 
    • I watch many episodes from the Vault, a secret source here on SON, because the quality is much better than YouTube. But, it has commercials that I have to skip through, although even these commercials give me serious nostalgia vibes. All that said, there is a consistent 1996 commercial for Excedrin with Frank Beatty!  He talks right into the camera about his feelings, and it's like Brent Lawrence never left. I wonder if GL fans back in the day ever saw this and had feelings about it. 
    • Dukes of Hazzard had a good run when it moved to 8pm but even when that was failing ABC and NBC couldn't come up with a hit show to dominate  that timeslot. NBC sent The A Team, Knight Rider and Riptide there for their final seasons and CBS did the same with Scarecrow & Mrs King. Otherwise it was a barrage of new shows that never worked.
    • Agree. Much more miss than hit. Maybe I'm out of the loop, but I thought clothing was supposed to be flattering. A lot of the Y&R women are seen in the tight solid color dresses ,often with cutouts/one shoulder. Now that may be a fashion but to have all of them in interchangeable dresses... Do the characters have a particular color pallette/style that is unique to them? BTG does a better job in that department. Some recent Y&R looks. I actually like the dress but we see that style too often.   Nikki's new look is not to my liking.
    • The first show I found had Maeve dressed horribly, and I just shook my head and thought she must've been thrilled to be portraying someone much more sophisticated and rich. Vanessa's hats and gloves probably cost more than her AW character's entire wardrobe.
    • It is the least aware sobriety memoir I've ever read. No spoilers, but where was the editor to ask what she learned from all the stories in her life?
