Why is there such a fascination about individuals like Hal Sparks and Michael Ian Black in regards to their participation in VH1's "I Love the 80's? After watching every segment of the 80's series, it seems to me that Sparks and Black, among others, are the very reason why "I Love the 80's" falls short of its potential.
How many times do we have to be tortured by the sarcastic attempts at humor that most notably Sparks and Black constantly spew out as they almost mock pop culture of the 1980's -- as well as during "I Love the 70's"? VH1, for whatever reason, seems to have a knack of drafting the most annoying buffoons for their shows on pop culture instead of just presenting the items as they are and let the viewers decide for themselves. Instead, we're bombarded with a slew of irrelevant comments from people who are frankly not even qualified to give any! But, alas, like its sleazy cousin, MTV, don't expect VH1 to give us programming with insightful individuals. Count on the bottom of the barrel in regards to cruel commentary.
