Just got done watching the same special. Loved the one panelist saying, "There was always a layer of film over the water in the pool", lmaooo. And, "It was mostly dentists from New Jersey, with zits on their back".

During the 1977 episode of VH1's I Love the 70's volume 2,there was a song that played during the Plato's Retreat segment that goes ''Get it on,break of dawn,Get It On!''. Does anybody know the name of this song?

Hard to say which is more offensive: your judging or your really bad spelling.

Goddamn, are you fucking retarded?  Stupid people shouldn't have computers. You should be put in concentration camps. I bet you have a two-way phone that you use in public as well.
