Desperate for Ratings, VH1's "I Love" Show Airs "I Love Yesterday"

Pasadena, CA - Desperate to keep fueling the once-bright ratings fire that is VH1's "I love the [insert decade]," VH1 producers have gone from the 70s, to the 80s, to the 90s, to the 70s volume 2, and now are planning on airing "I love Yesterday," a version of the show that will allegedly, bear with me here, portray the smattering of the C-list celebrity hosts mocking themselves mocking pop-culture from prior decades.



From semi-famous Comedy-Central-born comedians (pictured), to Sportscenter anchors, and from hair-band front-men to Kathy Griffin, the panel will continue to appear, but will now not critique such yester-year trinkets and icons as Teddy Ruxpin and David Cassidy, but will instead make not-funny running commentaries about how lame their own comments were on the prior day's episode.

VH1 admits its a roll of the dice, but the alternative, according to Joe Thimung, a VH1 producer, was to either (a) keep rolling back the clock a la "I Love the 50's, 40's, etc." or (b) pontificate as to what would be loved in the future. Thimung admits that nobody knows what the hell is going to be popular ten minutes from now, let along ten years from now: "Come on," he says, "did you see Vanilla Ice comin'? Hammer?" Perhaps Thimung should invest in diversifying VH1's reality show pallet, it currently consists of a range from "Hogan Knows Best" to "Flava of Love 2".
