VH1's I Love The 20's

I know what you're thinking. "I Love the 20's" is not a real show...yet. But if you're like me, you probably devote a good 2-3 hours a day pontificating on how amazing a show like this could prove to be.

Let's face it: The 20's rocked last century hard.

What other decade can match the badassness of the 20's? Perhaps those posers in the 30's, with their Dust Bowl and Jewish persecution in Germany? No. Sure, the Empire State Building opened in 1931, but when was most of it built? The 20's.

The 20's could have been its own century: Speakeasies, flappers, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Scopes trial, the stock market crash, the Yankees, George Gershwin, and Freud. And really, wouldn't you just love to hear Michael Ian Black do 45 seconds on the discovery of Insulin?
