VH1 is bringing it's highly successful and hilarious I Love the 80s approach to a more hairy, less greedy, and far groovier decade: the 70s. I Love the 70s will take viewers on another fun-filled ride through the music, movies, TV shows, products, fashions, fads, trends and major events that defined pop culture each year of the decade. From Star Wars to Charlie's Angels, leisure suits to underoos, mutton-chop sideburns to the Mod Squad... we once again tap our collective memories to cover the sublime, the ridiculous, and everything in between.
A new crop of comics, rock stars, actors, writers and other celebs past and present will weigh in on the 70s experience. They'll discuss the important questions of the decade: What the hell happened to Richie's brother Chuck on Happy Days? Did Michael Myers use Ginsu knives in Halloween? And most important of all: Who sank my Battleship?
Viewers will be completely immersed in each year, treated to a barrage of retro clips from sitcoms, movies, network news, commercials and other sources. And it won't be just TV, music and film. It'll be cars, junk food, fashion and everything else that went into making the delicious pop culture stew that was the 70s.
Among the highlights...
- The Brady Bunch go to Hawaii
- Afros reach toward the sky
- The title of a porn movie, "Deep Throat" becomes the code name for an inside source who helps take down the president - who'd have thunk it?
- Superfriends form the Justice League - and Wonder Twins activate
- The Six Million Dollar Man is rebuilt
- Bigfoot Fever sweeps America
- Bicentennial Fever sweeps America
- Dorothy Hamill Haircut Fever sweeps America
- Willy Wonka's high-carb lair is revealed
- "Pong" hynotizes us
- Leisure suits scar the fashion landscape
- Ned Beatty squeals like a pig
So are you ready to immerse yourself in I Love the 70s? Well, let's get going then. Or, as we like to say around the office: Let's play the Feud!!!
