    Maybe I was in a bad mood all week, but I didn't enjoy this one as much as the original one, or the 70's one.

    I can't turn this show off, either.

    And what's up with Boy George's new look? He looks like a giant glam version of Ralph Wiggam... completely bizarre.

    I liked the first set so much better. The best commentators (i.e. the funniest) on the first one was Mo Rocca (I think?) from the Daily Show and the guy who used to be on the State and is now on Ed. Those two guys are hysterical on that show. Throw in a good quip from everyone here and there and you have a very very funny show.

    The new one has too many stupid people who provide their input about whatevery they are discussing. Three quarters of the time is spent explaining what it is they are talking about, instead of the hysterical comedy that should go with it.

    Just my opinion though. I can't turn it off regardless.

    The whole series (ILT80s, ILT70s, & ILT80sSB) are like crack or carmel corn, I just can't get enough.

    He looks ridiculous.

    I like this show, even if I don't remember half of what they are talking about.

    When Harry Met Sally
    Field of Dreams
    Major League
    Turner and Hooch

    what else? I think the first Bill and Ted movie.

    Oh, god, yes. And so many others, too. Saw a lot of them that year-- certainly I had more time to do that than I do now. Not to mention, we've only got one major movie complex here, too.

    I'll have to brainstorm a wider list of those '89 flicks when I have a chance...

    Yeah, that was a big omission from the list.
