I caught some of it. My mom watched just about all of it. I was in the room when they started playing a little sound clip of Rock Me Amadeus by Falco. I got so embarassed because I loved Falco when I was in middle school. Keep in mind I was in middle school in 1996. Wanting a Falco cd in 1996 and the guy is a one hit wonder from the 80s is just a tad bit on the odd side. lol

I wanted the Falco 3 cd he came out with in the 80s. I bugged my parents to get me the cd, but they just couldn't find it. I think the only cd available of Falco's is the Remix Hit Collection. I think that's the only one that they released in America. Yes, I own it. *blush* I still listen to Rock Me Amadeus and Der Kommissaar and I still like it. I got tired of Falco, but I still like those two songs. I'll post a pic of Falco because some of you might remember him if you see a pic.

I love Tears for Fears also. Billy Idol rocks. I have a few cds from TFF and I have 2 of Billy's cds- Rebel Yell and Vital Idol.

Actually, I'm not a big fan of the 80's...the music sucked, everyone wore the same stupid clothing, and I mean really stupid looking (at least now it seems people have a little more individuality), and, oh, yes did I mention the music sucked! The dark ages of music! ("I can't come up with my own music... I know, I'll have a machine do it for me" (synthesizers))

[la0919]

well i agree with you about the synthesizers, they werent all that great, and yes some of the 80's clothes were shoking but over all, i like the 80's

[Georgia's on my Mind]

i havent watched it but the 80's are my second favorite decade

[LucyCompanyPhan]

actually i love 80s music. after i saw the wedding singer, i became obsessed. i do think that the machine stuff was stupid but its so great. i think its better to look back in the past and remember the 80s tho.

[isiahthomas]

Brittany Murphy is hot but i have no interest in seeing Just Married. I watched the segment of I Love The 80's on VH1, you're not alone. I loved the 80's cause i grew up in that decade. I loved the music, the movies, the tv shows, the clothes. The 80's is better than the 70's to me. Michael Jackson was black back then with a jheri-curl hahahahahahahahahahaha. He won so many music awards for his Thriller cd i think in 84. Lionel Richie was naming those love songs of the 80's, he still looks the same.

[fr00ti]

I watched like 3 of them! THE 80s ROCK!!!!!!!!

:lol: You know why I seen the Wedding Singer? It had Billy Idol in it towards the end of the movie. I begged my parents to rent that movie so I could see Billy. That's it. I've mention Billy Idol twice in this topic, I'm going to find my Idol cds.

[AnaheimPMWitch]

OHMYGOSH thats funny CAUSE I was just gonna start this topic I watched all of it to I grew up in the 80s and I remembered it all I ACTAULLY got sad AND ALMOST started to cry because My life was SO MUCH simpler then SURE I hated school and wasnt popular but atleast I didnt have a JOB and people who treat me like crap I miss the 80s sometimes

[*Melissa*]

I've been watching parts of "I Love the 80s." I think it's great how we can go back and laugh at things from the 80s... just like we'll soon be laughing about events from the 90s.

[Blair85]

i watched all of them and mom taped 1985 for me. I thought the 80s were pretty cool even though I was just a little kid during that decade. 1985 kicks butt b/c I was born then..lol.

[JoPol_wannabe]

I watched all of it (the 80's rocked) and it was kind of scary I mean I remember most of that stuff they were talking about and I was born in 82. But my favorite year was 85 becuase that is when George Clooney joined the Facts of life show, that is when Back II the future began One of my favorite movies and that's when one of my favorite songs came out We built this city by Starship. The 80's kicked excpet for the clothes but everything else was pretty cool.

[Mossopp]

I haven't seen the 'I Love The 80's' shows on VH1.

BBC2 in Britain did a similar kinda thing though. Over the Christmas period they screened a series of shows looking at the trends - music, fashion, TV shows, movies etc - of each year of the 1980's. Each show was an hour long and they got celebrities to talk about their experiences growing up in that decade. That was a cool series. I hope they re-run it sometime. It was cool to hear that my favourite comedians, Mel & Sue, were just as embarrassed as I am about the fact that we used to wear deeley-boppers and Kickers boots! :lol:

That sounds almost exactly like the VH1's I Love The 80's. Anyways, I thought that I Love The 80's was a pretty good at catpuring a lot of moments of the 1980's. The main thing that bugged me was that that one guy from "Ed" talked all the time, it was like he was the most featured.

[Brian Damage]

Looking back, the 80's was a pretty goofy generation. I mean the bright pastel colored clothing, the high hair and the music ah yes the wonderful Flock of Seagulls. :lol:

[Kay Scarpetta]

I loooooooooooove 80's music and TV!! The clothes can STAY in the 80's though.

[Plata]

I love the 80s! I was born in 1985 though, so I don't remember the '80s too well. I love all the '80s music though. The music rocks. Honeymoon Suite, Bryan Adams, Go-Gos, Pat Benetar...I love all the music. And, I love all the '80s films, too. The music was so unique in the '80s. There has never been, and I don't think there ever will be, another decade like it.

This was actually based upon the British show - it says that somewhere in the credits.

I loved this series, I wish they had made them 2 hours each. It's funny to look back and laugh at some of the stuff that was popular back then. My hair used to hit the ceiling of the car too :lol:

[la0919]

how many of you had a Members Only Jacket? my dad had 2 of them, a burgandy one and a gray one, my brother had one too! the 80's were crazy man!

[Impressions]

I have seen everyone, and I thought it was a very detailed and informational documentry, I thought it was interesting to flashback through all those years, I actually thought like I was expierincing it ALL over again, LOL.

I don't think there will be either, hopefully, we've learned from our mistakes! ;)

[Mijada]

I didn't care for the 80's much. My school years were horrible. I thought the clothes were really cool back then but now when I look at old pics and stuff I just say OMG.

[JDS84]

I saw it. I also have it on tape.

[Fleet]

The '80s were a disappointment for me. The familiar TV shows started changing ("Happy Days" w/out Ron Howard and Donny Most, "CHiPS" w/out Larry Wilcox, "Laverne & Shirley" move to L.A., "Starsky & Hutch" cancelled, etc.).

Music by (again) familiar bands, like The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac and Chicago, did not seem as good in the '80s as in the '70s.

400- horsepower muscle cars were long gone. :( The styling of GM, Ford and Chrysler cars were beginning to look like Japanese econo-boxes. Cadillac stopped building Cadillac-sized cars- they built Chevy Nova-sized cars. (Cadillac did continue to make the traditional, rear-wheel drive Fleetwoods; the DeVilles were Nova-sized.)

I started missing the '70s by around 1981.

There were several good points about the '80s, though. For one, disco died out by about 1981 (thank God).

I caught the end of the 1984 one. Yay for Spinal Tap!

On the subject of the 80's, Im not a fan of them. Looking back on them.. I just dont like them. I think its because EVERYONE loves them, so it just kinda turns me off from them.

[DarleneIllyria]

Hey, does anybody have the Sounds of the 80s cds? They sometimes show paid programs for that cd really early in the morning, so I was j/w if anybody has them.

That's a pretty good idea to DL them. I like that other cd paid program. Damn, what's that cd called? 60's Gold? It's hosted by Davy Jones. I just sit there and watch that paid program for a few minutes and sing the songs that I know from it. :lol:

I think the reason everyone suddenly loves the 80's is because it's now officially nostalgia, it was 20 years ago...it seems as soon as something is 20 years old we start to love it again. (no matter how crappy it is. *cough* the 80's *cough*) In the 70's we had happy days set in the 50's, in the late 80's early 90's we had Wonder Years a show that took place in...yup, you guessed it the late 60's early 70's, and finally in the 90's we had "That 70's Show". Just watch, in about 5 to 10 years we'll have a show called "Grunge". I guess it's just our culture...but why, oh why couldn't we have just skipped over the 80's?!?!!! THEY WERE, INDEED, THE DARK AGES!!!

OMG! The Wonder Years!! :notworthy

Now wait a minute, they had an 80s show last year? It was called 'That 80s Show'. I think it's canceled now. It had, damn what was that chick's name? She has a twin. She's blonde. I think she did a Doublemint commericial. I've gotta cheat. I can't think of the name. Brittany Daniel is her name. Her sister is Cynthia.

Sweet Valley High!! Ahh.. I loved that show! LOl. Yah, That 80s Show sucked IMO.. it was a total rip off from T70'sS, therefor the chemistry just wasnt there. Basically they pretty much wanted to cash in on the That70sShow craze.

I loved the SVH books. I used to read those all the time. They had SVH, Sweet Valley University, Sweet Valley Twins. Is SVT the correct name of the books when they were 12 years old? I think they had a Sweet Valley Kids series too. I only read the SVH, SVU, and SVT series.

[Rockapella722]

OMG, Crystal, isn't MIKEY adorable as David St. Hubbins!?

[Blair85]

Omg, Rockapella722, that name above your avitar sounds like mine. People call me MIss Emily and my last name has the same ring to it as Litella...woah..

Anyway, I guess i like the eighties b/c that was the last time I was happy. I haven't been happy since 1989 when I was 4 years old and since then, every year has been crap!

[Czas na Zywiec]

Why VH1?!?!?

As you can tell, I haven't been able to see it.

Dang! I missed it!!! I loved the 80's I grew up then. Went from a kid to a teen. Those were the days! I hated the 70's. (:blush: I hate bell-bottoms. As a kid in the 70's I had to wear them, and I hated it.) I grew up in the 80's with PegLeg pants and big hair. Oh, back in the days when people tried to look good instead of looking weird or just plain like crap. Not that I wear the 80's fashion now, but I don't wear todays fashion either. But at least then people weren't saying "how far out there can I be with my clothing, and how much skin can I legally show". They were more like "how good can I look".

I LOVED THE 80'S!!!

to quote a song: "It was nineteen eighty something in the world that I grew up in. skating rinks and black trans ams, big hair and parachute pants, looking back now I can see me, oh man did I look cheesy, I wouldn't trade those days for nothing, it was nineteen eighty something"
