7604, i'm skeptical

when i first heard that they were doing it, i was thinking it was a abd idea... i mean, "I Love the 80s" was so great because it was the first program that's been dedicated to an extensive examination of 1980s pop culture. the 70s, however, have already been fully examined, revived, parodied and played out.

when they started running ads showing Mo Rocca and Hal Sparks, my bad feeling got worse. these cats are like 30-33 years old. what are they gonna say about the 70s?

the New Yorker review of it said that it seems to be aimed at Gen Xers who were babies in the 70s. they don't even mention Watergate throughout the 1973 show AT ALL!

i'm gonna watch it, though.
