Does anyone know where I can find video of this? VH 1 has almost completely disowned this on their website.

By the way, I do mean the 2002 show hosted by William Shatner, not the 2009 version of considerably lower quality hosted by the far more annoying Judah Friedlander.

It could be because of the many, many [justified] nitpicks regarding the poor research that went into this show, considering that most of the songs listed weren’t even one-hit wonders.

It could also be because VH1 doesn’t show music related shows anymore.

The sad part is, these same "one hit wonders" comprise most of their old Top 100 lists.

It's so rote, I bet they listed New Radicals twice by mistake.

Regardless of the (acknowledged) non-one-hit-wonder status of some of the so-called one-hit wonders, I still found this show greatly entertaining, and I would still like to know of any video whereabouts on the Internet.

I miss when they showed I loved the 80s, 70s, and 90s all the time, why was there never a DVD released about this series!

Actually, those were pretty good, too. Any videos from either would be appreciated.

[up][up] I'm disapointed that they never did the rest of the I Love the New Millenium series. They never did the last few years of the decade.

I loved the specials like this, they still do decent ones now and then but not as much as they used to.

Yeah, they really dropped the ball with the Millenium special, especially with the fact that it aired before the decade even ended. I know I Love the 90's was done quickly (2004) but damn, wait a few years!

The reason for no "I love the ____" dvd is likely due to licensing issues. Heck, the ones they air on VH 1 Classic are now just "best of" versions of those shows, and a LOT of the background music has been replaced with generic "80s sounding" music (at least for i love the 80s), though the "deja video" segments do remain.

So why were they able to air them on TV in the first place?

Intellectual property laws have probably become more restrictive since then.
