VH1 Rescues My Faith in Humanity...
My sweet Lord, thank you for VH1. The Kings and Queens of the retospective and celebrity worship have actually done something GENUINELY worthwhile. That's not to say I don't love I love the 80's or 90's and all their sequels (I love the 70's not included...there's only so much commentary on pet rocks and Kool & the Gang I can take before I fly off the handle and resort to watching Jackass re-runs), but they haven't exactly hit it on the original programming front. Did you see "VH1 Bands Reunited? Yeah, I'd love to watch Kajagoogoo get back together for 50 minutes, but I have to drill a hole in my left cornea first. However, they made like Clarence (say thanks, Jimmy) and saved the CBS show "Love Monkey" from getting pushed off the bridge after only 3 episodes. WHY DIDN'T PEOPLE WATCH THIS! It's like "High Fidelity" meets "Entourage" wrapped up in tiny hour-long packages adorned with b+ list musical guests. Plus, it has Tom Cavanaugh who's damn good, and gives Jason Priestly some much needed post-90210 work. Bottom line is, get off your ass and watch this show. VH1 doesn't have anything else to show, so you know they'll repeat episodes about 4 times a day. Remember: "Love Monkey". Tuesdays @ 9:00 p.m. VH1.
