I Love Toys - VH1 - All Week Long! Starts March 6th

VH1 is at it again! First they conqured the 70s, then the 80s....3 times, then the 90s....twice. Now its all about TOYS! Toys from the 70's, 80's, and 90's!
Only once a night, at 10PM.

As always VH1 showed an episode early....pretty funny stuff.

I'll see if I remember to tape it unless it conflicts with some other stuff. But I'm sure they'll play them all together at least 10 times in the future.

Revisit the top 100 toys from your childhood. Starts Monday, March 6th. at 10:00 PM

You can see the video for toys # 101-110 that didn't quite make it HERE


Do you still sneak a peak through a View Master when you think no one is looking? Settle arguments with your sister over Connect 4? Maybe you and your friends like to get together and pass the time trying to take over the world with a little RISK? And when it's hot outside, is your first thought to bust out the Slip and Slide and Snoopy Sno Cone Machine? Of COURSE. Have we got a show for you.

I LOVE TOYS is our latest spin on the enormously popular I LOVE series, but this time with a little twist. We're counting down the 100 most famous -- and infamous -- toys you loved from your childhood. Whether you battled the evil forces of the Decipticons with your Transformers or fought for freedom with G.I. Joe, this special's got you covered. Perhaps you were more of an aspiring architect? Don't worry, we've got your Lincoln Logs, Legos and Tinker Toys, too.

Mr. Potato Head? Check. Pound Puppies? Yup. Barbie? Duh. Play Doh, Etch A Sketch and Candy Land? Yes, yes, and how could we leave it out, yes.

Grab some popcorn and get comfortable. This 5 hour special starts at 100 and counts all the way down to number 1! Our expert team of celebrities, musicians, actors and comedians will tackle every hard hitting issue you can imagine:

- What were all those monkeys doing in that barrel?
- Did you fancy yourself a Van Gogh while playing Pictionary?
- Could you use your Easy Bake Oven to make Shrinky Dinks?
- What exactly was INSIDE Stretch Armstrong?
- Why didn't anyone feed those Hungry Hippos?
- Does Strawberry Shortcake taste as good as she smells?

I LOVE TOYS answers them all!

The first one was okay - I was sick as a dog while watching it so I might not have been in the right mood for it.

It seems there is no Hal Sparks this time around, which makes this one a little less fun though. Michael Ian Black and Rachel Harris still bring the funny though.

Yeah, it seemed to be missing something. Must have been Hal Sparks!

So they have the third-rate "comedians" on this one as well, huh?

Once a night at 10PM, then midnight, then 11AM the next day, and 9PM that next night. At least according to my guide.

While this might be interesting [except for the 'opinion/commentary from comedians who aren't funny and whom I've never heard of'] what in God's name are these things doing on VH1? I could almost--almost--see it on VH1 Classic, because then you have the "Classic" thing going on, but does this have anything at all to do with music? Are Vh1 and MTV owned by the same company?
This program would make more sense on Discovery or even Discovery Kids. Then again, from what I've seen of VH1's "I Love..." or other special programming, I haven't been impressed.
Is there a list of the things they chose as top 100, or will they post one after the program?

VH1 has pretty much become a pop-culture channel. The music has migrated to Classic, Soul, Country, and Mega-hits (is mega-hits still around?). This sounds cool, but I'm really tired of these third rate comedians.

For the most part, I've been able to stand these shows, but I recently saw a Vh1 Behind the Music and that's what Vh1's is best at IMO.

I missed it last night but judging by the list of the toys above, I didn't miss much this time. I have to be sure to tune in Wednesday, though, since Evel Knievel is on there. That was one of the best damn toys EVER! The damn thing would jump a ramp, land and keep on going, pop wheelies, even have Evel ride his bike in a hand stand and the bike would still keep going. There was a re-release of this toy a few years ago...I'm glad I picked one up so my sone can now play with it.

We're watching another one right now. Pretty good stuff and Mrs. Pusser really likes them since she had a lot of toys. I didn't have too many.

This show made me realize how spoiled I was as a child. I had so many of those toys. Too bad I hit a dry spell once I reached my teens (couldn't get a Swatch and some Reeboks to save my life).

I was laughing when he was yelling about an intern with a boner for He-Man getting him on the countdown.

I'm not sure if it was fake or not, though.

Yeah, hadn't thought of it that way, but I guess you're right... I had a lot of these toys, and I'm surprised at how many I remember VERY well.

We've been watching it since we stumbled upon it on Tuesday or Wednesday night... great light-hearted TV for right before bed. Plus, some of the commentary is at least a little funny.

Mrs. Pusser keeps asking "did you have that toy?" and I keep saying no. She's decided I didn't have many toys which I've always told here.

Did anyone see Henry Fonda in one of the ads? Mrs. P swears it's Jack Lemmon.
