This is probably the greatest TV special of all time, the original I <3 the 80's and this new version are the most enjoyable TV of all times!!!
It's a license to print money as far as I am concerned.
Mint is not enough to describe this much greatness, it's gem mint 2000.
Yeah it's funny to watch, but even funnier is to see some of those 80's stars who have not aged gracefully. I near shit when I saw Emma Samms. She was friggin hot back then, and She looks horrible now.
I dunno, there are several things about this series, and the I Love the 70's series that bug me.
1) Michael Ian Black. Not only is he never funny, but his dry, monotone description of things is his attempt at being funny, yet fails miserably and ends up just being confusing.
2) Mo Rocca. With that haircut, and without the Daily Show, he's just annoying.
3) The formula of the show.
Announce product.
Show clips of random, unrelated celebrities, one by one, saying things like , "OMG! (insert name of product here)", "(insert name of product here) was/were amazing!","(insert name of product here) is (insert description here)".
Show clip of Michael Ian Black saying something unfunny that involves the product.
Show clip of Mo Rocca saying something annoying that involves the product.
Show clips of commercials/videos/tv shows of the product in between.
Insert some pop music song in the background, specifically a clip of a verse of the song that describes the product.
End segment on product with Michael Ian Black saying something unfunny.

yes but this time it's all about donal lougue!
Are you fuckin mad? Michael Ian Black is a comedy genius on that show.
Every word that comes out of his mouth is pure gold on that show.
Pshaw. What low standards of humor you hold.
Oh, and just for future reference for VH1, they should really try to avoid putting people on the show that were not born yet, or lacked the ability of forming coherent thoughts during the year that they are focusing on. e.g. Mandy Moore being on the 1982 episode. She wasn't even alive for most of the year. And The Donnas being on any of the first 3 episodes. Please, they were 3, I highly doubt they can wax nostalgic on this stuff.
i agree wth that, but i love michael ian black.
though i like to refer to him as johnny blue jeans
Michael Ian Black is very funny on the specials, you just have no sense of humor Clay.
buuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrn
they're raggin' on my rooos!

Hurh hurh hurh, you're funny, see, because you're making fun of me liking Clay Aiken. That's comedy. Really.
I hope at some point, during the I Love the 80's week, they spend at least five minutes recalling when an obscure channel called VH1 burst on the cable scene, and would show music videos. Gee, what ever happened to that channel?
The same thing that happened to MTV
only vh1 is greater by far
(newlyweds is the only good thing on mtv now)
I hope they cover MTV also. I mean, MTV is one of the most important things to happen to popular culture in the past 50 years, and certainly of the 1980s. But will they leave it out to avoid the uncomfortable "So, why did you decide to replace music videos with crappy reality television" questions?
Newlyweds is the only thing MTV shows nowadays. I've seen like all four episodes. Already overexposed.
still funny.
btw gonzy, i like that your name is in red now
MIB, funny, Donal Logue, damn funny. Mo Rocca, douche. Total friggin douche.
