Heh. My wife and I had this conversation Saturday morning in the car. George Michaels’ “I Want Your Sex” song was playing on the radio, and she mentioned that she’d always liked the song. I said, “Well, you know, ol’ George wasn’t picturing anyone like you while he was singing this.” She thought for a minute, then said, “You know, I hate you.”
I live for stuff like that.
“I Love the 80s” is an automatic stopper in my channel-flipping. Since I rarely know when any given show is on, I just flip around until I find something I want to watch. “80s” always fits that bill.
This show is like crack to me. I can’t resist it even though it’s repeated every friggin weekend! I always seem to catch 1983. I can’t wait for the “I love the 90’s”! Ah the flannel shirts, Clinton years, Kobain’s death, viable job market, Lewinsky… good times!
Right! It’s amazing how simple the scrambling was on the premium channels compared to today. Anyone with the right type of analog TV controller could just set it between channels and the picture would be clear for the most part. Not in color, but not scrambled anymore either.
And it has fueled an obsession for Mo Rocca, who I now want with all my heart. I will make him mine!!!
It brings back memories of things I haven’t thought of in a long time.
But please, the dude doing the hottest babes of the '80’s??? He pisses me off when he ends with “and I ought to know.” What, did you bang them all? I don’t think so!
The episodes I’ve seen have been over several weekends in the past month or so. It seems they’re running them constantly, so I’m sure you’ll be able to catch the rest.
Ah, washed up stars from the '80s making fun of other washed up stars from the '80s.
Debra Winters is incredibly unfunny. On the other hand, like others have said, Michael Ian Black, Mo Rocca, and Hal Sparks are pretty funny, and a few others have their moments. Hal Sparks has to be the most prolific of the commentators, but he has my favorite bit. In the segment on the Cure, the Smiths, Depeche Mode, etc he does this hilarious bit on Robert Smith’s hair. There’s no way I can do justice to it.
Boy, how the mighty have fallen. That “dude” is Bret Michaels from Poison, and considering the hot girls he HAS banged, I think he’s faily qualified for that spot.
