Is there really a need for 1990's Nostalgia already?
I'm referring to the series "I Love The 90's" on VH1. It just seems a little too soon to me. I can understand the series' on the 70's & 80's. There has been a good waiting period to reflect on those decades.

This is not a political post, so please don't flame me for not acknowledging the big dog as Pres. for most of the decade.

1. Yes.
The nineties era of Clinton brings back all kinds of memories!

Look at how different it is from now - wouldn't that be enought to have nostalgia?

2. That's not even the only one


I think maybe it's a bit premature.

3. Things move so fast these days it's time for 2003 nostalgia!
I'll start worrying when we see May nostalgia in June, and I'll REALLY start worrying when we see Monday nostalgia on Thursday.

5. YES!
I graduated in 1992 and to see how things have changed is interesting. Everyone seemed happy in the 90s, then Bush cane and the happiness is gone!

7. The early 90s maybe, but whats the 1999 show going to be like?
It's way too early to be nostalgic about that.

I'm nostalgic for the future.

12. I'm just watching it for the snotty comments-
-they could talk about what happened yesterday, it would still be pretty funny.

Michael Ian Black talking about his rotten career was hilarious last night.

14. They should wait till the end of this decade.

I mean, the 90's ended only 4 1/2 years ago. That's like having the "I Love The 80's" show premiere in 1994.
