[billi vanilli]

so weird.

[lolpenis_taco]

not really since you missed the actual show title by a fucking mile

[homer5000]

Wait, wasn't Best Week Ever supposed to fill this void?

Whatever, sounds awesome. Last seven years nostalgia :bang:...

excellent post

[Gaz]

The past 8 years aren't all that memorable compared to the 80's and 90's. There are no more Princess Bride's, no more cabbage patch kids, no Michael J. Fox time travelling back in time and getting freaky with his mom. We now have the Myfacewhatever craze on the net, the continued decline of TV and Movies, and the Afghan and Iraqi wars, plus dozens of fads nobody remembers.

[Eddie]

you gotta admit, these shows are great time-wasters on boring sunday afternoons

how did they do 70's/80's/90's shows? did they premiere a new year once a week? (i've only seen the reruns) if so, then yeah, pretty dumb that they didn't wait 'til the whole decade was over. it's not like they would have had to wait long.

can't wait for the awkward re-telling of 9/11

[Gaz]

I have to agree with you Pizza, the thing is is that we are sick of the stuff that's going to be on the show. TV, I don't but that's up for discussion.

Hunter S. Thompson, did you and the English Languge have a murder suicide pact or are you impersonating a loser from myspace?

[billi vanilli]

hey jack been drinkin?

[raheem]

why yes RIP hunter s. thompson I do believe this decade has the same amount of corny shit that the past few decades have had

[kuumuus]

i also would have to agree with pizza

[bmac]

i agree with skateboarding

[Jamie]

can't wait to see what flava flav or whoever has to say about 9/11

[Otis P Jivefunk]

Best thing to come out of the 00's is LOST!....

[You Bent My Wookiee]

The problem is, if it isn't a great movie, its usually a rap dancing flick, spoof movie that is not Airplane, or awkward retelling of Hellen Keller that wins an oscar just because she gets freaky. Boy, I really enjoy my generation so much....

[Clark Westfall]

That's true, but they're probably just gonna talk about reality shows rather than actual good television.

My problem with this is; the "I love the" shows are popular because of nostalgia, how can you be nostalgic about a decade that isn't even finished yet.

[SilverEagle]

and tv is better now than it was in the 90s, and a billion times better than it was prior

This I completely disagree with.

But hey, that could just be the nostalgia talking.

HAL SPARKS!

[billi vanilli]

i believe this series introduced me to michael ian black. good shit.

[brody]

i remember watching i love the 80's all the time in 5th grade. sorta turning point for my pop culture savviness

[Eddie]

y'know, i came up with an idea for why they're doing this series before the decade is out: maybe they want to do 2000-2007 and then in early '09 they'll do "i love 2008" and then they'll just make these things an annual thing.

[kuumuus]

isn't the concept of best week ever pretty much "i love last week"

this should hardly come as a surprise.

[Eddie]

yeah, very true...it just a suggestion

[Clark Westfall]

i believe this series introduced me to michael ian black. good shit.

same here, he's one of the few people on these things who is actually funny. oddly enough I find sir mix-a-lot to be hilarious on these shows too.

[mr. broom]

i believe this series introduced me to michael ian black. good shit.
Some of us oldsters were fortunate enough to be introduced to Michael Ian Black via "The State," saving us from having to watch VH1 under any circumstances.

[Nerd Groupie]

It is surprising who cracks me up on those specials. I always looked forward to that wrestler, who was that, Jericho?

I wish they'd bring back that Super Secret TV Formulas show. I thought it was very interesting.

[theo22]

The State is godly. I was watching that at like 7 years old thanks to my sister.

[box elder]

i know it's not a popular opinion here, but the state fucking sucked

[kuumuus]

considering i've never heard of it till now, and it was an early 90s sketch comedy series on mtv, and it starred a bunch of nobodies, i'm gonna have to agree with box

[pizzamancjm]

i remember watching i love the 80's all the time in 5th grade. sorta turning point for my pop culture savviness

Same thing with me to a point. The show gave me a kind of basic pop culture blueprint for what I know today. It was definitely a turning point, but now that they're doing a decade that's SO recent and not even finished, that's ridiculous.

[kimpanties]

i remember watching i love the 80's all the time in 5th grade. sorta turning point for my pop culture savviness

5th grade?!?!?! holy shit i was freshman in college when this first came out. and you weren't even born in the 80s. i am old.

i love 89 is on right now. word.

[AllSussedOut]

i know it's not a popular opinion here, but the state fucking sucked

i remember watching the first episode and wondering if the point of the group was to be deliberately unfunny, and how hysterical that would have been. at episode's end, when i realized i'd laughed a few times here and there... it just made me depressed.

the state was so much better when it was over with. showalter and a few others had their moments, but please don't tell me you miss the glory years of todd holoubek.

[Clark Westfall]

I wonder if they will talk about I love the 80s on this show.

[America: Fuck Yea!]

[You Bent My Wookiee]

Come to think of it, there are gonna be so many comments and punches at the "baggy pants reveal your ass" fad that its gonna make Sunday afternoons awesome. This sure is gonna be sweet seeing Soulja Boy getting hammered by the crew at RUN D.M.C and Bret Michaels, plus maybe Zacha De La Rocha.

[box elder]

the fuck are you talking about

[kimpanties]

the fuck are you talking about
"

and as a side note, baggy pants were bigger in the 90s.

[You Bent My Wookiee]

the fuck are you talking about

I'm talking about I Love the New Millenium, that was hard to think over, wasn't it?

"

and as a side note, baggy pants were bigger in the 90s.

I never noticed that. All I know is that I can give a shitload of wedges to these gold-teethed morons scowling over their bling.

[America: Fuck Yea!]

yeah.. baggy pants are more of a 90s thing.

[kimpanties]

you didn't notice because you weren't even born yet

[nathaniel]

i caught i love 2000. holy depressing

first off, the ambassadors of the current decade: andrew wk, perez hilton, some old blonde with huge tits ive never heard of, and some random cast member from survivor ive never heard of. beyond michael ian black, the commentators are completely not funny and/or i have no idea who they are

out the gate, topics covered: razor scooters, jackass, ascension of reality television, tivo, 2000 election. and to the person who joked 'i wonder if i love the 80s will make the cut' - IT DID

dont watch this

[mr. broom]

We are now paying our cable companies to watch VH1 masturbate.

[kimpanties]

i caught a bit of 2000 and 2001. they should have worked on another 90s one first and let the decade end first...

Yeah, I noticed that "I love the '80s" made the cut. I'll say it again, the appeal of these shows is the nostalgia it conjures up, without that it just depends solely on the jokes and, lets be honest, they were never really that funny.
Michael Ian Black was gold as always, everyone else was pretty lame. I do have to admit though, some of the jokes about the XFL were pretty funny.

[Sniper Squirrel]

Is it possible for an entire channnel to get cancelled, cause that'd be great

[Jakebert]

Yeah, I watched the first half of the 2000 one and thought it was pretty bad. Had no idea that they talked about I Love the 80's, though. Right now the only reason I might tune in is because I'm curious about the topics, but the ones they picked so far have been pretty bad.

Also, at first I thought Hal Sparks' hair was supposed to be a parody of the "Jim Halpert" hair thing that got cool in the 00's, like when they would put fake afro's on people's head's during the 70's one...

[Eddie]

and to the person who joked 'i wonder if i love the 80s will make the cut' - IT DID
haha what the hell?!

[billi vanilli]

so tired of seeing the george bush wassaaaaa ad

edit. holy shit right after i made this post the ad came on. i hit "enter" and the commercial came on half a second later

[Swartzweldian]

Still too fresh to get nostalgic over. Again, thats what makes the 80's ones entertaining..Most younger people hardly even remember it, so it stirs up tons of childhood memories. Same could be said with 90s..But, the year 2000 still feels like yesterday for me.

[Spartan]

XFL jokes? hoo boy. cutting edge.

[Clark Westfall]

About as cutting edge as the XFL itself

[Spartan]

ever thought about life as an E-list vh1 celebrity?

[nathaniel]

oh, and did i mention there was a "girls you want to see in a thong of 2000" presented by sisquo? well there was

beyond the obvious explanations for the "i love the new millenium" not working, may i suggest that vh1 is also contributing to the car wreck by choosing (either intentionally or not) an especially bad group of pop culture touchstones?

billy bass? save that for for volume 2 at least. by the way, volume 2 will be subtitled 2FAST2FURIOUS in honor of the movie that defined a decade

[Spartan]

nate is in rare form today, guys.

[nathaniel]

i'm like the godfrey of the message board

[Clark Westfall]

I don't know, I mean, I'm no Hal Sparks.

[My Little Needle]

even after everything everyone mentioned, I was still pretty entertained by it

[aoife]

i'm like the godfrey of the message board

Do your bodyguard from Spencer For Hire impression!

I didn't watch these this weekend...I figured they would be played over and over again, at some point soon.

From the sound of things, they should have done another I Love the 90's, first. Oh, VH1.

[nathaniel]

no i'm sorry this will be the only time vh1 airs them. you will have to wait for a proper dvd release
