I'm sure I've done this before, but the list looks different.

BOLD means I've watched at least 3 episodes
Italic means I'm sure I've watched every episode
Underline means I own copies of (for large series - eg Dr Who - I'm guessing "at least some of")

Craptastic TV

VH1 Classic did a show called "I Love the 70s". Apparently it was so popular that they did "I Love the 70s, volume 2". Personally I preferred "I love the 80s", but that's probably more indicative of my age :-) The show was pretty formulaic ("Charo" was on 11 minutes in, just before the ad-break), but some segments were funny.

In particular, one part I found funny was "Porn or not porn" where John Waters (yes, that John Waters) mentioned three films from each year and you had to guess whether it was porn (with a "yay" sound effect) or not ("awww"). At the end of the segment he would have to run because he'd just found "a vintage copy of" some porno (I have no idea if they are real titles), and invited us to join him.

I quite like that John Waters is willing to joke at himself like this. Some of the stuff he says ("combine two of my deviant faves; swashbuckling and water sports") are great.
