After VH1 decided to debut its inappropriate, way too soon, but already completely addictive I Love the New Millennium, we decided to take it to the blog by way of good ol' AIM. You can call this just another posting of a friendly conversation, OR the first installment of Live from Our Adjacent Cubicles: The Amy & Lisa Show (cue music!). Either way, here's what we think about Hal Sparks and friends' newest marathon-ready look at a decade - er, the last eight years...

Amy Wilkinson: ugh, so I caught I Love the New Millennium Monday night

Amy: I'm not lovin' I Love the New Millennium so far

Lisa Raphael: I missed it! Even though those Britney ads are all over the place - which, by the way, make me want to call up a séance for her career

Amy: I don't understand why you're still rooting for her ??

Lisa: WELL, speaking of - the year 2000? Britney Spears VMAS

Lisa: doesn't get any better than that

Amy: OK, they did show her "Oops..." red jumpsuit moment again

Amy: Which I put in the plus column in my notes

Amy: Really the highlight of 2000 was TiVo

Lisa: okay, I can dig it, DVR has transformed my life

Amy: What would I do if I couldn't record The Golden Girls?

Lisa: Um, watch all the repeats that are on all the time...

Lisa: (do you really record The Golden Girls?)

Amy: But now I can watch the repeats at my leisure

Lisa: So what were the pros? According to Amy...

Amy: Well, besides TiVo and your fallen Britney, CSI premiered, which I dig

Amy: But that's about it

Lisa: Over it

Amy: For the most part, total cultural wasteland

Amy: NOOOO!

Amy: You can NOT be over CSI

Amy: It's so good

Amy: "Who are you...doo doo...doo doo"

Amy: love the theme song

Amy: by the Who

Lisa: No idea

Lisa: ooooh. Maybe a little

Amy: what??!

Amy: Lisa, seriously?

Amy: I'm worried about you?

Lisa: Scroll up, gurl! I was learning the dance moves to Britney Spears in 2000

Lisa: I wasn't even a fan of Justin Timberlake yet

Amy: dance moves? you mean you became a child stripper?

Amy: you were what, like 14?

Lisa: I was a huge Napster fan!

Lisa: That should be one of your pros!

Amy: Oh, I'm too much of a goody-two-shoes for Napster! Totes!

Amy: I buy my tunes legally

Lisa: Could you even buy music legally back then?

Amy: yeah, I don't think so

Lisa: I STILL have songs that have survived and are on my iPod today from the Napster days

Amy: oh gosh!

Lisa: (I always know because they have DJ Clue yelling on them)

Amy: you shouldn't say that in a public forum

Amy: you might have the FCC after you

Lisa: oh yeah...

Amy: you were just kidding, right?

Lisa: Just putting on a show for the cameras, you know!

Lisa: So what were your biggest disappointments of the show?

Amy: Basically, 2000 sucked, which made the show suck. Here are some examples:

Amy: 1. Richard Hatch (pictured)...naked

Lisa: that was a BFD!

Amy: BFD?

Lisa: I'm trying to be PC for the PWers

Amy: I gotcha

Amy: 2. those whaaaazup commercials for Budweiser

Amy: so annoying

Amy: and not funny

Lisa: But everrrybody's done a "whaaazup" in their day

Lisa: even you?

Amy: Lisa, you've seen me. Do I look like a "whaaazup" kind of girl?

Amy: I don't think so.

Lisa: not so much...Why do you think the show was a bomb?

Lisa: Is it just too soon?

Amy: That's part of it, but really, the year just sucked

Amy: I'm looking forward to 2001

Amy: It was the year of Moulin Rouge

Amy: My friend Dennis and I had a Moulin Rouge coming out on DVD party

Amy: Yeah, we're those people

Lisa: hahaha yes! I've never seen Moulin Rouge

Amy: WHAT!?!?!?!

Amy: NO!!!!

Amy: That Britney ruined your formative years.

Lisa: It's possible.

Lisa: Who were the best pop culture pundits Monday night?

Amy: Normally I really enjoy Hal Sparks, but that mullet was blinding me!

Amy: major bird's nest

Lisa: yes I Google image searched it

Lisa: Terrifying

Amy: I'm always surprised at how funny wrestler Chris Jericho is.

Amy: He's a pretty witty fellow

Lisa: who was there besides the usuals?

Lisa: Which member of NSYNC was on the panel???

Amy: I think there may have been a Lance Bass moment

Lisa: I feel like Lance is too big for it now

Lisa: hmm. I would have gone with Chris Kirkpatrick

Lisa: I think I'm looking forward to 2003, otherwise known as: the year of McGriddles and Joe Millionaire!

Amy: I think the 80s and 90s had much more genuine cheesiness

Amy: The 2000s seem so forced

Amy: Joe Millionaire?

Amy: Yuck.

Amy: Punky Brewster? Yes!

Lisa: We probably need to be a little farther removed from the decade we're currently living in to understand its cheese/kitsch value

Amy: true true

Lisa: Hal Sparks can try again in 10-20 years and maybe I'll DVR it

Amy: Nope, DVRs will be old hat then.
