Yup yup!  I'm just about to go turn on the TV and watch!  I can't wait until the end of the week when they'll talk about stuff I might actually be able to remember.  :) (I was born in '83.)

Born in '83?  10 bucks says you'll remember something from the 1988 and 1989 episodes.  

And you'll start to feel VERY OLD afterwards when you realize you were around for it and can actually remember it.

Oh, I'm sure I totally will.  I'm watching the '86 episode right now and was having fond memories of my pink and white LA Gears.   :)  Oh my gosh!  And Double Dare!  I watched that ALL THE TIME!  Wow, I am old.  ;)

They were making jokes about Fraggle Rock and Def Leppard!  I got really mad and had to stop watching it.  It is annoying when they sing along with the songs, they sing terrible.

They make jokes about everything on this show.

I think we're all just sick and tired of seeing the same people over and over again.  Hal Sparks, Michael Ian Black, the ESPN guy, and the others did the original "I Love the 80's", then they did "I Love the 70's", and now here they are AGAIN doind "I Love the 80's Strike Back".  It gets tiring.  They really should try some different people out.  

And then sometimes it gets silly, trying to be hip and appeal to the youth culture by having a teenager onboard like Mandy Moore. Mandy Moore was commenting about 1984 and 1985, when she was only a baby or at most 1 years old back then.

I think Mandy Moore and all the others who were born in the 80s and made comments on the show like that girl from the Cosby show, Raven Simone, deserved to be on the show. They were kids in the 80s and most of the show dealt with 80s children fads. I was born in 1978 and I wish more80s kids could have been used like LeAnn Rimes or Alyssa Milano or Jaleel White. I beg for someone to prove me wrong, but the majority of both I love the 80s and the 80s strikes back had childrens fads. Therefore, it must have sucked beeing an adult in the 80s. At least according to these shows which focused on children's toys, games, fads, cartoons, even kid movies. They were doing my 80s and none of the adult stuff ever appeared except in a few instances like mentioning Dallas.

Come on People! Raven Symone and Mandy Moore were born in 84 and 85. They are more 90s children. Raven was on the cosby show from like 89-92 . She was 4 . That hardly makes her an expert on the 80s. Prolly 2 of those years were spent in diapers. Geez. She a dumb person to have on that show.

I agree 100%.  

I was born in 1975, I'm 28, and watching I Love the 80's has made me realize that there is a TON of stuff from the 80's that even I was too young to remember.  If I can't remember every hip and cool band or fad from 1983 or '84, then I have a hard time believing someone BORN in 1985 or '86 could remember it.  I doubt Mandy Moore or Raven Symone could even remember the 90's pre-1996 that well.  

I can understand having some people on there that was born in the very early 80's, like 1980 or 1981, maybey '82,...at least those guys have a legitmate case for having "grown up" somewhere in the 1980's. But having these teenagers that were born well into the 80's acting like they were actually old enough to take part in the culture of that time just smacks of being silly.  It's blatant pandering to teenagers and children.  "Look they have someone under the age of 20 on there!  It's OK for us to watch!"

No way dude.  Mandy Moore and Raven Symone were infants or very small children in the 80's.  If they weren't at least old enough to be in 1st or 2nd grade back then, then they weren't true kids back during that time.  You had to have been old enough to go to school back then to really remember it.  They grew up with an after effect or echo of the 80's during the 90's, but they were by no means around for the 80's. And since the core years of the 80's came to an end in 1987, then I don't see how they could possibly remember anything from the real 80's.  

At best kids in that age range could remember 1989, or just let them talk about the time they really want to discuss, what kids in that age range always want to talk about when they think "80's"---Saved by the Bell, M.C. Hammer, Vanilla Ice, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Ninja Turtles, Super Nintendo, 90210 and all that other stuff from the early 1990's.

I'll agree they maybe should have had Jaleel White since he was on Family Mattters but Family Matters debut in  89 though. Alyssa Milano most definately they should have had her on though since she grew up on "Who's The Boss" throughout the 80's. As far as sucking to be an adult in the 80's I think it sucks more now. More stiff is for more the younger than ever before. Its like if your 24 like I am its like being 34 years old pop-culture wise.

I should note Raven Simone even though it might not be an important fact but she was also on "Hangin With Mr. Cooper"  in the early to mid 90's period(1993-1997 If 'm correct.) "Hangin With Cooper" was part of the TGIF Friday Night Line-up on ABC.
