In a Completely New Ten-Hour Event, VH1 Takes You to the Third Dimension for 'I Love The '80s: 3D'

More Than 200 Music Artists, TV And Film Stars, Athletes And Celebs Give A Fresh Look Back At The Decade In VH1's Outrageous Year-By-Year Flashback Premiering Monday-Friday, October 24 - 28 AT 9PM* Each Night

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., July 14 -- We're back, we're funnier than ever, and because we haven't run out of ideas, we're taking it to the third dimension, with gnarly special effects that'll-like-blow your mind! That's right. Put on your 3D glasses and check out "I Love The 80s: 3D!"

VH1 is reprising its highly successful and hilarious I Love the '80s approach for "I Love the 80's: 3D." All of your favorite comics, rock stars and celebs will come together once more to wax poetic about the essential '80s experience, and this time it will be a vision altering event. From Jheri-curls to Rat-tails, Oak Ridge Boys to Fine Young Cannibals, Star Search to Spenser for Hire, Cannonball Run to Naked Gun, the offbeat nostalgia show will bring viewers a skewed view of the music, movies, TV shows, fashions, fads, and trends that defined pop culture during every year of the decade. Fear not, viewers will still have a bodacious time watching the series even without those retro red and blue paper glasses. "I Love the 80's: 3D" premieres Monday-Friday, October 24 - 28, beginning at 9:00 pm each night.

Each one-hour episode of "I Love The 80s: 3D" is a totally excellent adventure through a single year, celebrating the good, the bad, and the greedy through retro clips from sitcoms, movies, music videos, TV commercials, network news and other sources plus more than 200 new interviews with the people who survived the decade that created "the fruit roll-up."

Mo Rocca ("The Daily Show"), Michael Ian Black ("Stella"), Hal Sparks ("Queer As Folk") and Rachael Harris ("Fat Actress") return to "I Love the 80's: 3D" to lend their hilarious point of view once again. Also lending their perspectives are Modern Humorists, Rich Eisen of the "NFL Network," Patrice O'Neal, Stuart Scott, Luis Guzman, Loni Love, Greg Fitzsimmons, Godfrey and others.

*all times ET/PT

*I didn't know the 80's had that much stuff*

Dee Snider in 3-D?  :o  Man....... now that's scary.......  ;D


By the way, do you gotta a feeling the VH1 is scrapping the bottom of the barrell?  ::)

Strangely enough, 3-D pretty much died after the 80's, if you are willing to count Spy Kids 3-D and Shark Boy and Lava Girl as movies. I was wondering if 3-D will ever make a come back?

By the way here's a short list of 80's 3-D movies....

Comin' at Ya!
Amityville 3-D
Captain EO
Friday the 13th Part 3: 3D
Jaws 3-D
Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn
Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone in 3-D
Starchaser: The Legend of Orin
The Treasure of the Four Crowns

Does anybody remember any others?

Shouldn't the seventies have gotten a second run before this?  Eh, I'm just expecting a lot of rehash with a couple of great moments.  But I do love I Love the shows, so I'll watch them anyway.

Yeah, I do think it's a case of barrel-scraping.
