"Doesn&amp;#x27;t it just seem like yesterday we were watching Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari duke it out over Stephen Colletti on Laguna Beach? Or watch the evil force that was Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt come together to wreck havoc on The Hills? Sigh, here&amp;#x27;s a stat that will blow your mind. Laguna Beach, the show that started it all, first aired EIGHT years ago. And now it&amp;#x27;s considered &amp;quot;retro&amp;quot; according to MTV.Here&amp;#x27;s the deal. Starting on Monday morning, MTV&amp;#x27;s launching &amp;quot;Retro Mania.&amp;quot; From 9 a.m. ET to noon, you can watch blocks of three of your favorite old school MTV shows. Here&amp;#x27;s the schedule so you can keep it handy and set your DVRs accordingly: June 25th to June 29th: Seasons 1 and 2 of Laguna Beach July 2nd to July 27th: Seasons 1-6 of The Hills July 30th to August 3rd: Selection of favorite episodes of Daria Now of course this got me thinking about how much has changed since we first met Lauren &amp;quot;LC&amp;quot; Conrad and her dream guy Stephen, best friend Lo and arch nemesis Kristin down in the sun soaked, drama ridden world of Orange County. Just look at this cast photo: Lauren, now a Glamour cover star, has come a long way! And do you even remember Kristin&amp;#x27;s friend Morgan? She wanted to stay a virgin until marriage. And what about Talan? He dated Kristin after Stephen went away to college! Quick fact: Post Laguna Beach Talan was also engaged to Kimberly Stewart but they broke things off. Now for the heavy hitting question, because if Laguna Beach taught us anything, it&amp;#x27;s that you&amp;#x27;re either a Lauren or a Kristin in this world. Which Laguna Beach Couple Was Your Favorite? And, it&amp;#x27;s still hard to remember a simpler time when Lauren was fresh out of high school, living in The Hills with her best friend Heidi and dating not Stephen but Jason. Remember him? Here&amp;#x27;s a quick refresher: Jason popped up in season two of Laguna Beach, dating Kristin&amp;#x27;s flighty friend Jessica. They broke up and he fell for Lauren . . . only to kiss Jessica at a benefit in front of Lauren, her friends and family! Lauren vowed never to talk to him again but took him back during season one of The Hills. Oh Lauren, didn&amp;#x27;t you know that once a bad boy, always a bad boy? What is mind blowing, however, is that Jason came on the scene pre-Spencer. And the hot mess that was Speidi made Lauren and Jason look like something out of the Brady Bunch by comparison. Honestly, I loved the days when Lauren and Heidi were best friends, laying by the pool and gossiping. Let&amp;#x27;s pay a quick homage to those days, during a time when Heidi had her original nose and Spencer wasn&amp;#x27;t yet on the scene with his creepy flesh colored beard. I really can&amp;#x27;t believe this ever happened . . . But what I&amp;#x27;ll never understand was how Audrina . . . Ever spent more than five seconds with Justin Bobby! Did we ever find out his actual name? And why he wore ski caps by the beach? Which brings me to another very important question about The Hills! Which Couple on The Hills Did You Love to Hate the Most? By the way, I&amp;#x27;m still icked out that after Kristin Cavallari blew into The Hills to take over for Lauren that she dated Justin too! What did these girls see in Justin Bobby that the rest of America did not? And that leaves me with my final all important question . . . Who Was Your Favorite The Hills Star? Will you guys be catching up on Laguna Beach and The Hills? There are so many more moments and crazy characters to rehash--who and what did I miss that you loved? What love triangle was your favorite? And OMG, did you watch Daria? I never did so it&amp;#x27;s totally going to be new to me. Lets talk about it all below!
