COMING THIS JULY! So, you think you know the '90s? NOT! From Seinfeld, the show about nothing, to Tickle Me Elmo, the hottest most annoying toy of the '90s, to Titanic, the biggest blockbuster in movie history, VH1's: I Love The 90s definitely is "like a box of chocolates. you never know what you gonna get!"

VH1 is bringing its highly successful and hilarious I Love the 80s and I Love The 70s approach back for I Love The 90s, proving no decade is off limits.

Viewers will get a '90s style dose of the music, movies, TV shows, products, fashions, fads, trends, scandals and major events that defined pop culture each year of the decade. From Beverly Hills 90210 to X-Files, flannel shirts to the "Rachel" hair do, from "Rico Suave" to Monica Lewinsky ... we will revisit it all from the uplifting to the ludicrous and everything in between.

A new batch of comics, rock stars, actors, and other celebs from the present and, the not too distant, past will reflect on the '90s experience. They'll address all the major questions of the decade: Are those Bugle Boy Jeans you're wearing? What was everyone in Seattle so unhappy about? You down wit "O.P.P"? And most important of all: Where's Waldo?!?!?!

Viewers will be gettin' jiggy with every aspect of '90s pop culture in each year of the most slammin' decade on record. We're not just talking music, TV and movies either. We mean everything: toys, scandals, fashion, cars and anything else that helped make the `90s "Da Bomb"

Among the highlights...
Billy Ray Cyrus, and Garth Brooks make being a goofy looking cowboy cool!

People finally care about ice skating thanks to the Nancy Kerrigan/ Tonya Harding soap opera

The particularly un-sexy Right Said Fred tells us they are actually "Too Sexy"

Jesse "The Body" becomes Jesse "The Brain" and governor of Minnesota

Battle of the baggy pants rappers: MC Hammer Vs. Vanilla Ice

Pee Wee Herman has a different kind of big adventure in a Florida porn theatre. ARRGH!!!!

Mark Wahlberg back when he had some credibility- As Marky Mark! "C'mon, c'mon. Feel it! Feel it!

Julia Roberts stars in the gritty, all too real look at the bleak world of prostitution: Pretty Woman

George Foreman becomes heavyweight champ of boxing, and the heavyweight champ of fat reducing grilling machines, at age 45

Sharon Stone becomes a superstar overnight by crossing and uncrossing her legs

Amy goes to jail and Mary Jo takes a bullet in the face- Was Joey really worth it?

92' Olympic basketball dream team feels great about themselves as they squeak past Angola 114-48 and win the gold with a win over Croatia, where basketball was introduced in 1990

Witness the evolution of Jason Priestly and Luke Perry's sideburns over the years on Beverly Hills 90210

So join VH1 for I Love The 90s and laugh until you've "fallen. and you can't get up!"

I saw ads on VH1 for this last night. Can't wait!

Ooh, I'm so psyched! I've been waiting for this

Although, it does make me feel old, especially since I turned 20 today...

**BehrItAll** · 06-13-2004, 07:55 PM

I cannot wait to see this. I'm so excited. Anyone see the commercials w/ Hall Sparks and Michael Ian Black in the Peach Pit?

Vintage · 06-14-2004, 12:02 AM

It sounds really cool. I loved 'I love the 80's'.

glory fades · 06-14-2004, 08:52 AM

Ooh, I can't wait! I was wondering if they would do a special on the 90s.

Thief Of Love · 06-14-2004, 10:23 AM

That's just too weird. I actually remember the '90s. Isn't 19 too young to start being nostalgic?

own worst enemy · 06-14-2004, 11:58 AM

I cannot wait for this. But, I agree that its weird feeling nostalgic in your early 20s. Im gonna be 21, it's just weird.

06-14-2004, 12:05 PM

I'm 20 and I'm like the most nostalgic person

. The 90's were "it" for me and I'm so psyched for this special! I've been waiting for it for a long time.

I'm really looking forward to this since I pretty much grew up in the 90's. I was wondering if/when they would do this because I loved I Love The 80's and I Love The 80's Strikes Back.

Ditto.

Well, the first half of the 90's were a blur for me so it would nice to watch the first couple of installments.

NaiveYetChubby · 06-14-2004, 11:51 PM

Another 20-year-old who is looking forward to this. I just hope it's along the lines of I Love the '80s and not I Love the '70s, because the latter was seriously unfunny to me. It seemed like they were really reaching for the humor most of the time on '70s.
