*raises hand*

It's been fantastic !! Bringing back lots of memories and laughs galore. The TV shows, the games and toys, and of course, the "fashions"

I love it! I watched "I Love the 80's" several times over, and I plan on doing the same with this one.

3. Me, me!
I like the later ones, though. I was born in 1972, so the earlier ones are just at the very edge of my consciousness. For example, I never watched One Day at a Time. :)

But 1975 on, I remember everything and I LMAO the whole time.

4. I haven't even turned on the teevee this week
except for M*A*S*H reruns with my AM coffee, and the Jim Hightower appearance on the Daily Show.

Will one of y'all loan me the tapes?

8. Guilty
I'm amazed at how much I remember, and how many things originated in the early 70s that I didn't think showed up until well into the 80s...

NordicTrack, Lipo Suction, other things I can't remember right now.

11. I have to admit I'm hooked
been watching it every evening. So many memories. It's also a crack up seeing people like Rob Zombie talking about things like "Land of the Lost." It never dawned on me that these people are of similar age (to me) and probably have a lot of the same experiences as I did growing up. Funny too that we share a lot of the same thoughts on things. We all know the lines from the commercials etc. I also find it interesting that these memories seem to cross over races and economic status. Also, it never dawned on me how drug influenced the shows I grew up with were. Sid & Marty Kroft were sure doing more than their share but of course I was oblivious to it as a kid.

15. You're talking about my husband there!
Rob Zombie, I mean. God, I was so in love with him in the White Zombie days and he's STILL hot. Every time he comes on, I'm yelling at the TV, "We're meant to be together! Why haven't you called?" ;-)

Cat :hi: Sue!

12. Me
I finally got to see famous Newlywed Game "Where is the weirdest you have gotten the urge to make whoopee?" If you missed it you can see it in the 1970 chapter. They are replaying 1970 in about 15 min. I think tomorrow they are airing all 10 years. It's been fun...we've been watching all week.

13. Shouldn't you all be posting about this in the "Expose Yourself" thread?
You're a little too exposed in your own thread, don't you think?

:+

PS: I'd watch it if I were in a TV watching mode and it was on. I got hooked several times by the 1980s version.
