VH1: I Love The _____
Oh I just adore whenever VH1 comes out with a new series. Mind you, I think their celebreality is kind of trashy, but they really earn cool points with their I Love The _____. Most of I Love The 70's was lost to me, since I was too small for most of the 70's to really participate in anything cool. I Love The 80's rawks! I did so much of my growing up during the 80's and VH1 just brings it all out, well organized by year, with cool commentary by people who are famous or who will likely be famous any day now.
It's great how they bring back people from that decade to talk about their experiences either creating music, being on a TV show, or in a movie. It's great how they have people like Wendy the Snapple Lady read the viewers questions, or Billy Idol to introduce the rock songs of that time, or even Gedde Wantabe (the nerd from Sixteen Candles) to talk about the top 3 dorks of that year.
I remember back when VH1 first came out and it was considered the lame adult contemporary channel but I think that by now, VH1 has found its niche with the twenty- and thirty-somethings. They have captured our culture and then shows it to us before it truly becomes history.
My current addiction? VH1's I Love Toys. Oh man, nothing gets me more nostalgic for the 80's like old toy commercials!
