I Pity the Fool: another non-show from VH1.

Retrosexual: The 80s is yet another non-show from VH1 in which we are shown a bunch of short-clips from our beloved 80s pop culture fare mixed in with commentary from the non-show regulars who remind us how, in retrospect, something was either completely stupid, rabidly wonderful, or somehow needlessly comment as to why this particular thing is relevant to their growing up in the 80s (which is usually just an obvious narrative anyway that many of us might make comparisons to). Instead of actually investing time or money in worthwhile entertainment, VH1 has created yet more dismal cost-cutting clip show filler to treat channel surfing audiences to. However, credit goes to some non-top 40s 80s selections such as The Last American Virgin or other more obscure "Retrosexual" moments of the 80s. Otherwise though, if you've seen one of these filler shows, you've seen them all.
