Has anyone ever noticed age discrepancies

Why does this bug you so? I was born in 1985, I didn't live the whole decade of the 80's. That's where your parents come in, they expose these things to you as you get older. You used the examlpe of tv shows, well if i'm not mistaken a lot of those show's lasted about 7 to 10 seasons. Well once you get older you could start watching that show while its still on the air or in this case syndication or reruns. Did that not ever occure to you? I was born in 85 and even though I didn't live that whole decade there are a lot of things from that time I know about. Toys, movies, music, clothes, tv. My parents exposed these things to me, just like they exposed me the stuff of 70's. I know alot about decades before my time that kids my age don't know about, heck I know alot about the 70's more than my own parents which is pretty sad. You could quiz me on any deacade of the 20th century and most likely I'll give you a right answer. Now I don't know everything about these decades but I know enough. Why do you think we have TV land, Nick at Night, oldies on radio stations, and history books? Here's the thing that bugs me and can't understand is why people have such a problem with young people knowing about stuff before their time. If anything you should be happy and amazed by that, yes were in a new century and all but there's nothing wrong with knowing about other decades or even other century's. Thats why its called having a taste for knowledge, not everything is about 2006 or the new millennium. Thats why I watch these documentaries, to know more about these decades and of the three the 70's is my favorite because it seemed like a cool and fun time back then. Don't get me wrong, I also love the 80's (I'm wearing an I love the 80's shirt now), the 90's, 60's, and some things from other decades. I don't think the point of these documentaries was meant to interview people who were alive in that particular year or the whole decade. I'm not saying your dumb or anything, but maybe you should have thought twice about what you said before posting it.

You do realize that they use cue cards some of the time right? And they elaborate and such. They're given a brief history of what they're supposed to talk about, and then they talk about it. But for films and such it's easy, because I've seen some of the films that they speak about, and I wasn't even born in that decade. But for the different fads of the time, they were prompted about them. And for the music, they also wouldn't need to be prompted for. But for a lot of the things that you'd have to experience to understand, they're probably given cues about it.

It's not the most... genuine way to do the show, no, but I find it to be great that way. I'd rather have hilarious and witty people commenting about the decade than people who lived it, but don't quite have the personality that Mo or Michael have. You know?

"I don't like so much freedom down there. It makes me tingly in my giblets."

Well it's not only that, but the way they present some of their "memories" of events.

{In a reminising way} "Oh, yeah... _______, that was {great/horrible/crazy}" Even if they weren't old enough to know who the band/product/etc until almost 5-10 years later. Perhaps the reason why so many of them are so condecending about events (the show should just as well be called "I didn't quite love the {decade}, so let's be condecending about everything!" Then again, if they had actually remembered the event when it actually occured, they might shed a different light on it. I realize that many are comedians, but this is VH-1, not Comedy Central.

Ever since the "I Love..." series became "Best Year Ever" (using almost the whole cast from "Best Week Ever"), it's gone way downhill. If VH-1 actually cared about delivering a quality product, they'd fork over the money, or ask REAL celebrities who actually lived, or took part in an event (not these C-listers) to sit down and talk about the decade they lived in. If they're trying to present the show to a 18-34 year old demographic only, then they're missing the point.

"You've shown your quality sir. The very highest."

I was born in 1971 and I remember watching Adam-12 and Emergency.

I don't recall if they were in reruns when I watched them, but I certainly remember them. I don't remember THAT much about them, but I bet if I did a little research, some stuff would come back to me.

I realize you are only using Adam-12 as an example, but I think most of the stuff is legit. Then again, these guys are comedians. They make s__t up all the time.

Randolph Mantooth? What kind of name was that?

Honestly, I don't think you have to remember the 70s to love the 70s. Heck, I was born in the late 80s and I still love the 70s (though not as much as I love the 60s). This show isn't "I Remember the 70s", after all; it's "I Love The 70s".

I want...I want...I WANT EVERYTHING I'VE EVER SEEN IN THE MOVIES!
