The 'I Can't BELIEVE They Didn't Mention...' Thread

Similar to the Official "Things They'll Probably Mention" thread, only difference is that these are things that you cannot believe they wouldn't mention in the first installment.

I can't believe there was no mention of America's Next Top Model, Degrassi (Could it be because its a Canadian based show? It was still a HUGE hit over here), the Harry Potter movies, The Mole, Britney and Madonna kiss at the VMAs, Justin Timberlake launch of his solo career, Family Guy (they could have mentioned how it was resurrected from cancellation twice), the VERY first Making the Band with O-Town, the entire boy band/bubblegum pop music craze, Invader Zim, Adult Swim, The Osbournes, Scary Move, The Amazing Race... and so on and so forth.

The main problem is that by doing a nostalgia show in the same decade they miss the opportunity to be more critical of things (ipods and reality shows will seem really stupid ten years from now). In fact, it seemed like they were giving props to too many things instead of dissing them. They also put in stupid things that weren't relevant (Sharon Stone's husband?) The main omissions:

Shaun of the Dead (and the new wave of zombie movies)
Arrested Development (best tv show this decade)
The Office (US version)
the Harry Potter craze
The Osbournes (huge earlier in the decade)
Family Guy

Does anyone know if they mentioned 'The Departed' for the 2006 episode?

What about 'Memento' for 2000?

I missed both of these episodes.

There will be milkshakes.

Memento was mentioned...one of the panelists (I can't remember which) would write things on his arm and read them off to the camera, and Luis Guzman took pictures of himself so he could remember everywhere he was during the segment ;P

The Departed wasn't mentioned.

Somebody told me I shot the Tambourine Man!...that was funny.

I believe they mentioned Harry Potter in I Love the 90s, but I agree, it should've been mentioned again. I think they also mentioned the Mole in I Love the 90s. . . I don't remember them mentioning emos or scene kids, which I think they should have because it would've added some more humor.

Harry Potter, Mean Girls, Napoleon Dynamite, Superbad, Juno, One Tree Hill, the whole "emo" craze in its entirety.

It's a shame they didn't mention Lost. That's like leaving the awesomely popular quarterback out of the school yearbook. They managed to fit in the stories of every retarded drunk celebrity, but no mention of the greatest TV show of all time.

I can't believe they didn't mention Ugly betty, Lizzy McGuire, the L word, and queer as folk. I realize that sex in the city started in the late 90s, but they should have added it since it peaked in the 2000sAfterall they talked about Friends's cancellation. They also didn't talk more about fashion trends. I think they should have waited longer to do this series since we aren't detached enough from it.
