I Love 2006: (still too early to determine. I think Superman Returns and the Da Vinci Code will be the flicks)     

I think there will be enough material to make 3 series of "I Love the 2000's". The second one should be called "I Love the 2000's: Reloaded" (like "Matrix: Reloaded"). Also, Ryan Seacrest should speak at the end of each episode giving the final summary of the entire episode, and signing off with his signature phrase, "Seacrest...out!"

How about "I Love The '90s: Part Deux?"  ;D

It probally won't be until 201 something or other, before we find out for sure!  ;D

The good thing about this is the youth of the 2020's will get to see how bad the 2000's really were ;D

Hah! I think now the image of the '80s is distorted by "I Love the '80s"-living in most decades is very little like its pop culture.
