I think a few of the previous reviewers should have noted before buying this that it is a POP UP DVD!! The pop-ups are intentional and in some people's cases, including myself, the reason for buying the dvd. I find the pop ups amusing. I like to play this, without sound, as background visuals at parties. It's a good conversation starter. My only complaint here is that they should have included a few more videos for the price. Other than that, this is a great, fun dvd!

I totally loved this show when it was on back in the '90s, and now I have this DVD to enjoy for all time! The revelations by the writers are really funny, and sometimes they have to go to great lengths to get some good trivia (or dirt) to put into the pop-ups. If you love music videos, and ever wondered what was going on behind the scenes, this DVD is for you.

To the person who requested that the pop-ups be turned off...you bought the wrong DVD. It's called "pop-up video" and not "music videos" for a reason.

Personally, I think the price is steep for only an hour's worth of material. I look forward to VH-1 eventually getting a clue and putting everything on a DVD box set.

I love this show! IT's great to watch when you've got nothing else to do, I do wish they'd had more videos, but at least this DVD has special features. Another great one to watch is Pop Up Commercials, though I don't know if that's on DVD yet. These are really fun because you get to learn facts that you'd NEVER guess just by watching the video.. They've got a great sense of humor too.. thanks for making videos you've already seen 1000 times entertaining again.

I bought this for the 80s videos but wedged in between each video is an interview with the person who did the "Pop-Ups". There are also some video highlights of the 80s, like Reagan, Space Shuttle,etc., but they aren't bad. I would of chosen some better videos as well but they didn't call me.

Why can't someone make an 80s music compilation without the "cute" pop-up info that this video gives you? I'd give it 5 stars if it gave me what I wanted ... just the music videos, as they were shown in the 80s with nothing extra added. That was good enough then, and would be perfect now.
