i can sort of almost tolerate that show. it's not the worst thing i've ever seen, though i much prefer The Daily Show, The Soup, and David Spade's Showbiz Show (i think that's what it's called?), as far as celebrity/popculture mockery goes. the VH1 (Best Week Ever) approach is pretty dimwitted in comparison to those others. it can get tiresome though, the whole pop-kitsch satire fad.

personally i find VH1's "I Love The 70s/80s/90s" (essentially Best Week Ever with a nostalgia focus) and The Family Guy to be the worst of the trend. 'cause, rather than picking apart things that are genuinely absurd and relevant to the current moment, they seem to reckon that the mere mention of something old is synonymous with comedy. "hey! remember spandex and Voltron? LOL!" yeah, and what about it?
