In response to users Nick-337 comment about you having a hard time believing Beyonce and Leeann Rhimes remembering anything about the 1980s. First of all I was born in 1982. Persons born in 1981 and 1982 like Beyonce and Leeann were 7 and 8 when the 80s ended. We started elementary school when the decade ended. Many of us remember Challenger, Ronald Reagan and the Berlin Wall falling. Do you mean to tell me that you don't remember anything when you were a child. Many people born in the early 1960s remember when JFK was killed, and even more so when RFK, and MLK were killed, the Vietnam War, the Beatles and Woodstock, and NO ONE disputes them. Why is is SOOO hard for you to believe that persons born in the 1980s remember many aspects about the decade. As a child my favorite shows were Knots Landing and Family Ties. My first crush was on Michael J. Fox and Ted Shackleford. I think its safe to say anyone born from 1980-1983 (early 80s) would have enough memories to relate to the decade. I would find it "hard to believe" if a person lived 7 or 8 years and did not remember anything about their life.

Why is there such a fascination about individuals like Hal Sparks and Michael Ian Black in regards to their participation in VH1's "I Love the 80's? After watching every segment of the 80's series, it seems to me that Sparks and Black, among others, are the very reason why "I Love the 80's" falls short of its potential.How many times do we have to be tortured by the sarcastic attempts at humor that most notably Sparks and Black constantly spew out as they almost mock pop culture of the 1980's -- as well as during "I Love the 70's"? VH1, for whatever reason, seems to have a knack of drafting the most annoying buffoons for their shows on pop culture instead of just presenting the items as they are and let the viewers decide for themselves. Instead, we're bombarded with a slew of irrelevant comments from people who are frankly not even qualified to give any! But, alas, like its sleazy cousin, MTV, don't expect VH1 to give us programming with insightful individuals. Count on the bottom of the barrel in regards to cruel commentary.

I never thought the eighties were that cool, until....I LOVE THE 80's! After watching this I was talking about the 80's all the time. This is a great documentary to watch when you are bored. Great show, I love all the guest appearences by different celebrities. Totally like watch it dude.

i hate MTV. i love VH1. it's more fufilling and isn't loaded with crap. i found out about the show, and thought "wow, that's pathetic". but one day, my mom was watching 1987, and i was laughing so hard along with herit's one of my favorite shows. my favorite years were 1980, 1985, and 1987. i think hal sparks and michael ian black are the funniest guys on the show. some of the dialogue is kinda risque (sexual stuff) and most of the people annoy me (diceman and mary lou reten-grrrrrrr), but it's the best things about vh1.i'll say this: i can't wait until "i love the 70s", when they show it in august
