I think it's much better than the first series...they've learned even more about how to (re)package that decade for us.

My kid is watching that dreck right now. 2nd tier celebs giving their almost worthless opinions on old stuff. Drivel.
I'm about to pull my own head off, but fortunately, it's almost bed time. Ahh, blessed silence.

Not one of these awful shows where B- (or maybe C-) list "celebrities" reminisce about things that they'd clearly forgotten all about until the were shown a piece of video and handed the script 5 minutes earlier?

I feel the 80's were all about nostalgia. And now we're nostalgic for such nostalgia.
So strange.
My wife works with teens/tweens and told me how bizarrely popular the 80s are for them -- even though they weren't alive at the time.
Nostolgia for nostolgia for us, nostolgia for some "missing" for teens, maybe...I guess the 80s is far enough away from us now to look dated and exotic (if you squint).

The show rocks. I don't recognize more than half of the so-called celebrities, but some of the comments are hilarious (to me).
Boy George is a disgusting monster of a human. Is he still human?
So why don't you dissenters just shut the SMURF up!

I guess your a 'tween tween us (the 80s pop culture consumers, first time around) and the tween (pop culture consumers, 80s branded, of today). That makes you the missing link, I guess.

Hahaha. Speaking of Smurfs, anyone here own that Smurf game they mentioned for the ColecoVison? I wasted many hours of my youth playing that game along with Donkey Kong, Q-Bert and Time Pilots. Oh ColecoVison, how I miss thee!

watch Back to the Future II. When they go into the 80's retro resturant ("only its not done very well", Doc says)
that is what 50s diners probably look like to our parents.
80s in the midwest cow town were nothing like they ever portrayed in the 80s teen movies!

What pisses me off is that instead of spending time and money to get the people involved with the events and music, they get crappy 8th-tier "celebs" going "Dude, Captain Kangaroo was awesome. I used to get high and watch him."
It's a horrible, horrible excuse for a documentary. It could have been a contender!

Whatever. Michael Ian Black is, for me, the funniest guy on the show. And Boy George is dressed like that because that's the style of the persona he's using for his new musical.
Besides, the show has no pretensions of being a documentary or being anything but television candy. It's not a big enough deal for me to get offended by Donal Logue (or however it's spelled). Everyday I realize more and more how badly stranded I am in a society where no one will ever agree with me.
