    It was on last night and an ongoing weekly show. The host was an absolute tool, but they made up for it with star power, such as Flock of Seagulls, CeCe Peniston, Tiffany, Arrested Development, and Loverboy.

    The lead singer for Flock of seagulls looks like Paul Heyman now. He's wearing a baseball cap to hide his bald head and has a long ponytail. And Tiffany was doing a cover of Kelly Clarkson. This is the bottom of the barrel folks. I was amused, but felt sorry for them as the same time.

    Upcoming shows include Wang Chung, The Knack, Irene Cara, Sophie B. Hawkins, Cameo, Tommy Tutone, Vanilla Ice, etc.

    Poor Sophie B. Hawkins. "Damn I wish I was your lover..."

    I guess Vanilla Ice has reached the bottom. I thought he never wanted to be associated with Ice Ice Baby anymore. But the deal is they have to sing their hit, then come back later in the show and sing a current hit.

    Seeing Loverboy all fat was kind of disturbing. Arrested Develpment looked like they still got "it". It'll be interesting to see if this show will help them stage a comeback.

    I'm looking forward to seeing Cameo. I think at one time they were the biggest of all these groups and I enjoyed them, even before "Word Up".

    I always liked Arrested Developement and saw 3 minutes of this show last night...and it was Arrested Developement. Still sounded good to me.

    Not really in mainstream stuff. "Tennessee" was huge, but "Mr. Wendal" wasn't exactly a hit. Is there something else I'm missing? It was nice seeing htem again though....I love that style of hip hop. Them, Diggable Planets, De La Soul.....damn.

    Flock of Seagulls had a few good hits.

    Loverboy is not a one hit wonder group. Damn near every song on their Loverboy album was decent.

    I missed the show. Did Vanilla bust out some of those moves? He was definately a one hit wonder. He certainly struck when the iron was hot. Who comes out with a greatest hits after a crappy second album and then gets a book published. Only Vanilla.

    I thought it was funny when it was mentioned that Tiffany did a Kelly song. Seems like it should be the other way, but Kelly is so hot right now.

    I thought Mr. Wendal was a bigger hit than you're giving it credit. I know it was top 5 or top 10 on Billboard that year.

    I thought the show was mildly entertaining. I would rather see the groups do another one of their hits than them cover a modern song though.

    A friend of mine is best friends with Tiffany from their high school days at Katy High School, I will have to call her up and tell her Tiffany looked kinda big - definently bigger than when she was in Playboy a couple of years ago. She really picked some unflatterning outfits.

    I watched the show. It was painful.

    Flock of Seagulls were actually a pretty good band if you looked past the hairdos. That guitar player was a teenager when he joined the band. He was really good. Sort of like Andy Summers-lite. Seriously. In fact, I think he's now teaching at some music conservatory in England.

    I don't know who those tools were last night, but the singer was the only original member. I would have liked it better if they had all the original members like they did on VH1's Bands Reunited.

    Tiffaney was fat.

    Loverboy was OK. That singer has really let himself go. But he was having fun and that's the main thing.

    Arrested Development looked like they hadn't missed a beat. Great show. I forgot how much I liked them. Hope they make a comeback. Today's hip hop could REALLY use something....oh, I don't know....ORIGINAL????

    Sorry I missed it, I had planned to watch but forgot.

    I think The Knack are gonna waste all these guys though. They've been pretty much kept playing for the last 25 years and have put out some good stuff.

    "Everyday People" was another minor hit. But still, hits or not, when I think of one-hit wonders I think of crappy artits that had one popular song. Arrested Development made what many would call one of the best rap albums of all time...they don't fit the mold.

    Really? I could be wrong. I hope I am. I loved "Mr. Wendal".

    When Flock of Seagulls did Ryan Cabrera's song, I was LMAO. It was horrible.

    If any of you ever catches me watching this television program, I would hope you would have the common courtesy to shoot me in the head and let me bleed to death.

    I definately remeber DC Cab, somehow I cherish every chance I had to see boobies as a child and if I remember correctly DC Cab had a set. God Bless DC Cab, Wildcats with Goldie Hawn, R.O.T.N., and Commando with Ahnuld..... God bless em, God bless em all.
