The series is very good but they spent too much time on one subject. VH1 also puts together a lot of animated things into video footage. One example is after they introduced the Where's Waldo book, in pictures and video, they'd show Waldo to the side as a little secret joke. There were also instances where they would show music videos and put the little computer animated baby from Ally McBeal to come in and dance. Many celebrities' heads are also put on different bodies to make the scene comedic. More things could have been covered but good nonetheless. I don't think enough fashion styles were talked about/shown. It is a good series but I think perhaps it came out a little too early. The write-ins to the Snapple lady and the Jay and Silent Bob rename TV shows were very stupid. Overall, I would recommend watching it if you're in for a little nostalgia.

I have to say, even though the later segments of "I love the 90's" seem to have been filmed a bit too soon (I love 1998 and I love 1999 specifically) This walk down RECENT memory lane is quite refreshing.

Making appearances to jibe at last decade's pop culture are: Hal Sparks, Michael Ian Black, Michael Bolton, and countless others including Lord of the Rings' Dominic Monaghan.

Even if you HATE the 90's you'll get a chuckle of the comments from the various celebrities they feature.

Highlights include:

Dominic Monaghan doing the MC Hammer Dance; Hal Sparks doing the "Forbidden Dance"; Jibes at films such as Resivior Dogs, Point Break, Austin Powers, and more; Insults to Garth Brooke and Billy Ray Cyrus; The "hotties of the 1990's"; The dirty rocker guys of 1990's; And the answer to the infamous question "why in the world would you clone a sheep?"

"They're all the same, they wear wooly sweaters and they go baaah."~~Dominic Monaghan.

If you need a good laugh I suggest you keep your eyes on VH1's program listings and catch it the next time it's on.

I give this an 8 out of 10 stars.

I think I speak for everyone when I say that VH1's decade documentaries have been getting better as we go along. I love the '90s is hilarious. The panel of celebrities (if that's what you call them) dare to say all the things we think about events of the 1990's- from Snoop Dogg to Amy Fisher to Furbies-- a hilarious miniseries. The format is basically the same as it has been in the previous documentaries (80s, 70s, 80s strikes back)-- a year is covered in one hour, event by event, movie by movie, song by song, with commentary from a very funny panel of people who survived all 10 years of the '90s. You'll crack up every time Hal Sparks, Michael Ian Black, Mo Rocca, and many others provide their insight into the '90s, reminding us that we love the '90s!

We loved the '80s, then the '70s -- and then the '80s struck back with a vengeance. And now, a decade that is just *too* close for nostalgia -- the '90s! Some of the segments (like revisiting Twin Peaks, my fave show of all time) were fun, and it was nice to catch up on some of the cultural stuff I missed when I was in *graduate school* (Yes, I'm an old fart, compared with some here). Overall, however, the show feels forced and self-indulgent. At least they didn't try to shove a lot of porn down our throats this time.

And it's sad when the regulars, like Michael Ian Black, start joking about how this series is a career killer. Jumping ship might have been the smartest thing that Donal Logue could have done.

Note to VH1: please come up with some fresh new programming -- preferably something without Mo Rocca.

The VH1 series are great!! This is the weakest, and not just because it is so soon. It actually is because they keep the same people. I like the witty dialog that Mo Rocca, Hal Sparks, et al add, but the problem is they provide a weird perspective to the 90's. Whereas in the 70's and 80's everything was about various things they encountered, in the 90's they talk about waiting in line to buy their KIDS stuff. What kind of pop culture reference is that? Of course, they may fit the target audience, but I really think we should have gotten others who had more recent and direct reference to the decade. Nonetheless, the series is spectacular and the 90's is still a great decade to relive.

I love the 90's rocks just like the whole I love series. Michael Ian Black is one of the coolest and hottest people on that show. Along with Hal Sparks. That guy with the glasses is really funny too. How could you not like moments like Tickle Me Elmo, Or crystal Pepsi which was either in the 80's or 90's but the point is we need insignificant shows like the "I Love..." series for if we had none the world would amount to nothing. Key moments in "I Love..." history: Look back at ABBA, Crystal Pepsi, Rainbow Bright, Tickle ME elmo(by the way there is now an elmo that sings E-L-M-O to the rhythm of Y-M-C-A, That book about the brother and sister in the attic. You know, I know, We all know that we can't live without it.
