I'm not a really big fan of their whole "I remember the 70s/80s/90s" programs, and their whole countdown, best celebrity moments, along with the whole "celeb-reality" format makes the channel look like another version of E!

I agree that VH1 is becoming like E!  I like VH1 Classic better.  And those "I Love the (Name decade Here)" shows can get tiresome seeing the same commentators over and over. 

I watched the 100 Greatest Songs of the 80's, myself.  It was pretty good.  I like some of the songs.  Oh, and what does everyone think of "Flavor of Love"?
