Dish the Decade In VH1's Outrageous Year-By-Year Flashback

NEW YORK, Dec. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- It was the decade that spawned MTV,
Rubik's Cube, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," Michael Jackson jackets, Donkey
Kong, "Don't Worry Be Happy," Baby on Board, Milli Vanilli, yuppies, preppies,
and the Coreys (Haim, Feldman, and Hart). And now it's time to separate the
cool from the lame.
An outrageous 10-hour, five-night flashback, "I Love the '80s" tells the
truth about the decade of greed. Celebrities weigh in on what was cool, lame,
bizarre, beautiful, puzzling and pretentious about the people, music, movies,
TV shows, products, fashions, fads, trends and major events that defined pop

[Flash72]

I watched the first night of "I Love the 80's," and boy did it bring back the memories. I smiled a lot when I saw some old but familiar clips and when the various stars talked of events from a particular year in the 80's. I found myself often saying "I remember that" and fondly recalling what was, to me, one great decade. My one complaint about the documentary on the individual years, was it really necessary to focus on kids watching scrambled porn channels and uh, doing things most commonly associated with in a locked bathroom door? Think Jocelyn Elders. I might be in the minority but I did not consider "Porky's" to be the be all and end all comedy of the decade. I would just like to have seen a nice retrospective on the decade, leaving the teen sexual hobbies on the cutting room floor. Any thoughts?
