How soon is too soon?
Last night, VH1 premiered the first episodes of I Love the New Millennium - 2000 and 2001. Taking a page from their highly successful I Love the 80s, and I Love the 70s, and I Love the 80s Strikes Back, and I Love the 70s Volume 2, and I Love the 90s, and I Love the 90s Part Deux, a bunch of comedians, musicians, and actors talk about the “old days”. I love all of those shows. They help me remember back to all of the old pop-culture phenomenons, music videos and ridiculous news events of every year since I was born (and some when I wasn’t), and it’s hilarious.
I am not sure how I feel about this latest series. I mean, the ’00s aren’t even over yet, and the millennium just started if you think about how long a millennium is. Yet we still get to listen to Michael Ian Black, Dee Snider and recent Philly morning radio host Booker (!?) reminisce about Segways, Napster and the TV show Cribs. I don’t know, I can’t help but think it’s a little too soon to start talking about this stuff, especially once they get to the 2007 episode. But then I remembered that VH1 already has the show Best Week Ever, aka I Love Last Week. And that show is awesome.
