I Love the '70s

When I first became hooked on 'I Love the '80s', I thought, "The only thing that could possibly be better than this would be a take on the '70s." And, badda-bing badda-boom!

There were some parts of this series that were a little... raunchy (and sometimes downright grotesque. To my standards, anyway), to put it bluntly. But it's not enough to overshadow the all-around greatness of the series. The best ones I think are '72, '74 and '77.

True, it's not as *funny* as 'I Love the '80s,' but the '70s were *cooler*, so it's a different perspective. (I love the '80s for their sheer hilarious tackiness. The '70s I love for how awesome they really were.) It's also a lot more quickly paced, but that's probably so they can fit more artifacts in.

It's a real downer for me that I didn't get to live in the '70s. But with this series, I can still have lots of fun with the fantastic and the exceedingly cheesy alike!

i was lucky enough to catch this 10 episode miniseries on vh1 during the summer of 2003. being a child of the 80s, i initially wasnt much interested in watching. but after 5 minutes, i was hooked and ive been watching the repeats every time i see them on.

i love the 70s offers an hour long recap of a particular year of the decade, complete with all of the wacky toys, stupid movies, memorable tv shows and some of the most familiar faces of the 70s. commentary is offered by such second rate stars as mo rocca, michael ian black, and greg proops, although after seeing their sardonic, comedic genius on the show you wonder why their careers havent taken off as of yet, mo and michael in particular.

i love watching the witty one liners and the various stars playing with pet rocks and sea monkeys, and even though i wasnt alive yet in the 70s, i feel as if im reliving a part of my childhood that never existed. i love the 70s made me wish i had caught the previous i love the 80s, where im sure i would have had as much fun (and probably would have remembered a lot more). i loved these 70s!

Not as good as "I Love the 80s" but it was still pretty good. But they didn't mention the nixon thing or elvis dying... hmm still good though. I love Hal Spark, Michael Ian Black and all the comedians, it was funny. kinda funny that all the years (practically) mentioned porn... neways can't wait for "80s Strike Back"

I Love the 70s, which has in the years following its first on-air release, spawned off I Love the 80s, 90's, and their decade's sequels, is a show that is not immediately accessible, or at least wasn't for me. But the more I watched it the more I got into it. Especially because, well, I do love the 70's, however in the sense of the films, (some of the) music, the pop-culture stuff at times. It takes a little getting used to, perhaps, because the commentators on the shows can be a little much at times, or maybe just not too funny. But there are just some comedians or lesser-than-A-celebrities that need some time to grow on a viewer. A prime example of this is Michael Ian Black, who started out with the crew from the funny show the State, and also did Wet Hot American Summer. Here is is without a doubt the most deadpan sarcastic of the commentators, and at first it's sort of not funny. Then the more times I've watched him since, on this and the spin-offs, he's become pretty amusing. The same goes for a lot of the others on the show, which include dozens of celebrities from the period to comment on the shows, the music, the fashion, the toys, movies, and news stories that changed the decade from Vietnam to Watergate to disco and Jimmy Carter and onward. It's not Ken Burns type documentary stuff, it's just goofy entertainment that becomes good, watchable junk food TV. But that being said, it's probably one of my favorite kinds of junk-food TV on now, and is certainly one of the only things worth checking out (at least once) on the VH1 station.

I'm a natural learner I like to learn about things this show helped me learn about the 70's I learned a lot about the fashions and the music I can't believe that they talked about porn like that. Its nice to know that not all the porn actors were as gorgeous as they are now they looked like normal people. I just wish they would have had 2 hour shows for each year like they did the 80's. I can't wait for I love the 60's and I love the 90's. VH1 Did a good job putting the cast together I applaud them. The one thing I'm wondering is why didn't they talk about Elvis dying Granted I'm not from that decade but thats something big. Plus I think they could have had more of the rise and fall of Disco. it just makes me wonder what the next I love shows will be like.
