It all started on Sunday afternoon.
There I was, innocently channel surfing, looking for something that wouldn’t really stimulate my brain cells (after all, it is Sunday. Who thinks on a Sunday?) and then… I saw it. Right there, on my Digital Cable Guide.
I Love the ‘90s: Pt. Duex: 1990. Among the featured topics: Kathy Bates and the movie “Misery”; “Supermarket Sweep”; Bill Biv Devoe; fanny packs; Nelson; 2 Live Crew; Paula Abdul’s “Opposites Attract” video; dolphin-safe tuna; the Buter Douglas/Mike Tyson fight; “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air”; “Dick Tracy”; Madonna’s “Vogue”; and “Cop Rock.”
I have to tell you, I almost peed myself.
I am the “I Love [Decade]”’s bitch. I will watch those shows no matter what. I missed “The Amazing Race” for this show. I missed the entire debut of “American Idol” for this show. I do not care.
I’m not sure if it’s because I’m just really nostalgic about Things Past or I just love watching people make fun of the weird shit we’ve all lived through. (Okay, “we all” haven’t lived through it, since I enjoyed “I Love the 70s” and I was definitely not around in the 1970s.) But whatever, I’m addicted to the show.
Being addicted has its consequences though. Because of this addiction, not only do I suffer, but my other TV shows suffer and as a result, my health suffers.
Yes. I am blaming my OMGIMDYING illness on VH1 and I Love the 90s. I’m also blaming them for the fact that I stayed up until midnight last night catching up on episodes of “Project Runway” even though I really should have been sleeping. I just couldn’t sleep until I found out who won the swimsuit challenge and I’m still kind of crushed that I missed “The Amazing Race” last week.
So, in conclusion. I love decades, but they really need to schedule it at times where it doesn’t conflict with my other television watching. Like say, Saturdays.
Pee Ess: I'm way sad no one commented on my GHJ icon. GARY HALL RULES.
