Has anyone else watched the "I love the '70's" show?

[Rainbowreflect]

I watched a little of it yesterday and they had a bit on the Wonder Women show. They interviewed Linda Carter and she said she really wished she had a lariat of truth, that she would like to use it on bush. Wouldn't we all.

1. It was alright ....

I didn't care about having "celebrities" who weren't there at the time making commentary about the topics covered.

2. I thought the same thing but the only ones who weren't there...

Were people like Mo Rocca and Michael Ian Black, both of whom I find hillarious. The 80's one was much better I thought.

3. VH1 uses the SAME elebrities for all these shows...

And though some of them are funny and/or perceptive, I felt that the 70s show was much too dominated by people who were either born in the 70s or whose age was in single digits at the end of the decade.

They couldn't remember anything about the sex, drugs, riots, wars, politics, etc. that defined the decade.

As someone who is now 50, I noted that there was nothing about Watergate or Vietnam, and that important movements like Punk were downplayed in favor of the kiddie TV shows and toys that these infants remembered.

The best commentary came from geezers like Dee Snyder and the lovely Ms. Carter, who were old enough to remember the period.

4. Pot smoking,hobbit reading, Zepplin fans

Yeah, I watched some of it, but hey I was there at the time, a pot smoking, tolkein reading, zepplin listening hold over. The one thing I did like about the program was that they didn't try to boil the entire decade down to one fad.
