Coming to VH1: I Love the 70s
So i'm watching the '87 edition of "I Love the 80s" -- yet AGAIN! It's hypnotic, I tell ya..
ANYways...
During one of the segments, one of those little crawls/static ads/FOX marketing ads [whatever they're called] scrolls across the right hand corner of the screen:
"I Love the 70s -- Coming In August!"
Just thought i'd give a heads up...Don't know how this new one'll compare [at least until '76] but, i'll tune in*.
* [As long as there are no testimonials from Beyoncé or Leann Rimes
]

Sparks was pretty funny in the 80's installments. My favorite moment was when they were talking about Rick Astley, and Sparks was imitating him: "I'm a white guy, with a big ol' black voice!"

In EW a few months ago, the exec-producer of "I Love the 80's" said that he would do a second hour to the 80's series rather than make one on the 90's...
... but it looks like we get the 70's instead.

This VH1 70's show should have been done in the 90's.
That's when the teens of the 70's are in their 30's.
They are settled and have buying power for advertizers.
Like in the 1970's everything was 50's crap and in the 80's it was 60's stuff.
They need to be doing 80's stuff.

GOOD news!
Michael Ian Black IS going to be a part it.
Hopefully after the 70s, they'll revisit the 80s...

I sat down to watch my TiVo-ized episodes this morning. Pretty funky. I turned 8 in 1970, so I remember a lot of what I watched. I still blame Yoko for the Beatles breaking-up, though John =was= getting pretty weird on his own around that time anyway. 
I'm waiting for the Big Red Machine, Mood Rings, and Digital Watches.
