I Love 1990

We now know that i love 1990 is on tonight on bbc 2 and can someone. There should be some new idents. Can some one capture a picture of it.

No new ident - it was zapper (a 1997 TWO ident)

Why on earth couldn't the designers be bothered to create a 90s one? A very nice one for 1970s, a moderately good one for the 80s and absolutely zip for the 90s. How hard would it be to create one? I mean, it's going to run for the next 10 weeks so would be worth creating one. Boring.

Cheers, Asa

and the same old 'celebrities' talking over all the stuff you really want to listen to! Johnny Vegas looks lost without his digital monkey

I missed the titles:How were they?

BTW did you see the clip of the old 6 o clock news studio?

It'll be quite funny in 9 weeks time to look back at 1999.

I mean its less than 2 years ago, even TV Home (UK Television) was around in 1999!

They'll probably have I Love 2001 next year!

Don't you think it's a bit early to have 'I love the 1990's'?

Having said that, I did enjoy it. But the Simpsons came in 1989 - not 1990 as stated last night.

Even the announcer said 'Without putting the memory under too much pressure, a new series...'!

Are you sure about The Simpsons? I've not bothered to check but didn't the first series air here in the UK in 1990?

Cheers, Asa

I thought it was 1989.

Could be wrong!

Right.

The Simpsons Started in America in Chrismas 1989 with a Christmas special. This was actually episode 8 becuase there was a delay,this was followed by episode 2 (Shown the next week in January 1990 in America) and 3 and 4 etc. Making the first Season out of order,an example of this is that in the the Christmas special Homer is a safety inspector in the Nucler Power Plant,but in 'Episode 3' Homer is fired and gets a job as a.....safety inspector at the Nucler Power Plant!  Episode 1 was shown at the end of series 1 because The first series of it was given a 'U' rating before it went 'PG' in The 2nd series. The First episode was given a 'PG' rating so they put it on the end.

Sky started showing the Simpsons in 1990 (Thanks to cheshirec for verifying this below) And the BBC definetly started in 1996 with Episode 3 'There's no disgrace like home' which is very different to today's episodes (Homer wants to sort out the family,marge has the same brain power as Bart (Eg dumb) And shares eating habits,and in the end Homer actually pawns the TV to get the money for Dr Marvin Monroes family course and Bart,Lisa and Marge are all saying 'Oh homer no,please,you can pawn my wedding ring instead' (!) A complete opposite to todays!)

Or course,the Tracy Ullman shorts in America ran from 1987-1989!

I am a BIG Simpsons fan.

Sky certainly did start in 1990 - on the old Sky Channel, because I don't think Sky One had started at the time, it was rebranded later in the year.
Last year Sky had a '10 years of The Simpsons' programme on Sky One, which was excellent!
