In 1988, the ninja turtles were big, but in 1990, they took the world by storm. The bbc2 website has some info on the turtles...http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/ilove/years/1990/toys3.shtml.
VH1 get their format from the bbc channel. So, it is likely they will be on VH1 I love the 90s.

I love the 90s? Aren't they rushing things a bit? I mean it was just 4 years ago that the damn decade ended.

Yeah. They should wait at least another 3 or so years.

Didn't anyone else see the actual programme that had Raphael and Leonardo hosting it (I think it was I Love 1989/1990)? 'Twas cool an' all, but I was disappointed that they were simple CGI animations. When I first heard they'd be the hosts, I though it'd be animatronics like the movies, lol. Still, that said, they did have the original voices from the cartoon :)

The turtles had like a 30 sec bit in I love the 80s (or strikes back) 1988.

Weren't they already on I love the 80's... not that they don't deserve more screen time... they did the 80's, then the 70's, then the 80's strikes back.

now i guess they're doing the 90's? i watch from 90-95, but after that the decade was pretty much crap. -_-.

If our generation will be remembered for anything, it's love of the past.

It'd have been cool if the did a high quality movie 1 look CGI with the correct voices.

Ain't that true. I was talking about that last night. 97 was the worst

I love the 80's had a few tid bits on TMNT but not nearly enough considering it was so huge. However it's popularity probably didn't really pick up until the 90's. Though 89 was a big year. 90's marked the first movie, and I believe the move over to CBS.

E!'s thing on the 90's didn't mention Turtles I believe. They mentioned Power Rangers in the first epsiode but not TMNT from what I saw. This appauled me to no end...

*fan girl scream of glee* I want to see that (the 80s one)! I heard Cam Clarke was on there and have wanted to see it ever since. Was that shown only in the UK, or did the US VH1 have it on there, too? Do they rerun it at all? (...sorry if I frightened any of you with that outburst. :tanime:)

what was wrong with '97??

In any way i agree that the late 80's early 90's was the best era EVER!!! :lol:

Yep VH1 had it on too and trust me that kinda outburst is all too expected around here. ^.^

I watched one that had TMNT on it. That Amazon(tall female) comic made a comment like "thank god that's over"(don't remember the exact words) about TMNT. I think her name is Judy Gold.

Welll... maybe they'd be on the 101 reasons the 90's ruled on E!

I hated the 90's past 95... 1991 was actually my favorite year of the decade...92 was good as well...

Other than that.,.. well... Pokemon, Titanic, Leonardo DeCaprio (there's only one Leonardo for me... well two if you count the rennisannce artist) all that stuff... really bad decade the last bunch of years... of course, it could also been that I was in Jr. High and High school at the time... not realy fond memories.

Seriously... the 80's kicked the 90's butt!

I totally agree. I also was in jr high and high school in the 90s... though I gotta say the best year was 97, because that's the year I graduated and got outta there! :wink:

*sigh* But I know I'll watch it, though...

Drtooth

Yeah... I'm really liking 2000, just because I got the hell out of there. I did graduate, but I kept mumbling "I deserve a frikkin medal for this!"

yeah, 1991-1992 was an amazing time in my life. Ninja Turtles and Darkwing Duck (and Super Mario) were my absoulte life. I remember my 10th birthday party... that's one of the best times in my life, right up their with the Weird Al Yankovic concert I went to in 99, and the Caroll Spinney (they muppeteer who performs Oscar the Grouch) booksigning I went to last year!

I bet if they were in an i Love the 90's compilation, they'd probably be in the very beginning, maybe up to 1993. I guess they'd show more movie related stuff than cartoons and merchandising.

I really wish I had cable to have seen the CGI turtle interstitials (with Rob Paulsen and Cam Clarke! WOOOW!) short as they are, they must have been pretty cool!

I hate these "I Love" Series.

For anyone living outside the UK that doesn't know, these are cruddy BBC produced style nostalgia programs where they invite smart-aleck Z list celebrities to comment on things they clearly know NOTHING about - hardly even have a passing interest - just something that they never understood or respected but feel the need to mouth off and poke fun to show how "cool" they are. It's always an opportunity for quick jibes from not so clever, patronising celebs. They only thing remotely good about them is the "memory jog" factor of simply mentioning names and stuff and showing some old footage - but the interviews with random punters is tragic and makes the show truely pathetic.

Basically, Music Died in 1997 for awhile. Go look at all the Music from 1990-1997... You had Offspring, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, etc, then in '97 you had bands that were all sound alikes of Nirvana, The Spice Girls, Ricky Martin etc.

Mid-1993 to early 1998 were the worst years of my life. If you want the story on that, I'll tell you in General Discussion or whatever it's called.

Lol, still, managing to get the rights to have Leo and Raph host a show was quite nice :)

what's so bad about high school? Ok I agree Jr. High was pretty lame, but I really like high school (I'm a Junior right now). I mean you get to hang with your friends, and there's so much more freedom than before. I can't wait for college tho :evilgrin:

...and I was pissed to. They can spend 20 minutes on Footloose, acid-wash clothing, or Converse sneakers, but when it comes to Turtles, a show that is still in effect, they do not give it a chance.
