And Trading Spaces, stolen from your show Changing Rooms. Your version is only a 1/2 hour, but America had to drag it out to a painful full hour, which I usually lose interest in the first 15 minutes.
Yeh, America has totally lost whatever creativity it ever had and we have now turned to mooching TV shows off other countries.........first it was the Japanese anime-type stuff (which should have stayed in Japan as far as I'm concerned), now we're stealing Britain's shows.......tomorrow THE WORLD!

So...Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue, Slayer, etc were "gay"? Ummm...no.
Also, America's stealing TV shows from elsewhere isn't a sudden trend. Three's Company was one older show we borrowed from the UK, if that's any indication of our creativity here. /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

Quoting genesis: Thank god for the 90s to fix thoes hippys lol.
Umm...hippies were the 60's and 70's, not the 80's. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
...But if you're comparing them to the 80's, the 90's don't really have much to be proud of in the way of music or TV either! /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />
Three's Company?????................as far as I'm concerned that show should have STAYED in Britain! /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="<_<" border="0" alt="dry.gif" />
P.S.- What's wrong with the quoting button thingy?! It won't work!

Actually, we didn't move Three's Company from the UK. We just took the idea. Their version of the show was under a different name.
genesis, I get what you're saying, but how you phrase it has a great effect on how it's interpreted. If you didn't like a lot of the music, it's not my position to really judge you on it. I don't care for some of it, either. You're entitled to your opinion. I was just pointing out not all 80's music can really be labelled as it was.
I actually like message 80's hair metal conveyed. I think there's a disproportionate amount of angst and anger in rock these days. Back then, hair metal (really most rock then) was more about partying and having a good time, though not all of it was like that.
Also, the 90's was when we had the revival of the hippy movement. The 80's were like the 50's in that it was a time of decadence and wealth was seemingly more important. The 90's eventually became a time of reaction against that.
The clothes...well, again I won't judge. I don't really think the clothes were all that bad. I think, however, that the fashion trends were not all that great. It was a time of experimentation with music as well as clothing. I was only a kid then, so I didn't pay much attention to clothing. My wardrode consisted mostly of T-shirts and jeans, plus a little denim, and my cowboy garb. I still retain a certain distance from being sensitive to fashion, because I feel I should be free of domination by these trends.
