That’s right. The docu-drama series that gave you a reason to watch VH1 is back! The Hollywood Reporter, uh, reports that VH1 has signed for about ten new episodes, featuring artists like Lil’ Wayne and Scott Weiland. For those of you unfamiliar with the show, every program generally followed the same formula; a rise to fame, followed by a fall from grace, with the occasional sober rebirth.
Behind the Music was an integral part of VH1′s re-branding in the mid 90′s, which left behind programming like New Visions and Three Hours of Bad Videos for the likes of PopUp Video and Legends.
VH1 aired a special New Kids on the Block edition of Behind The Music after the boy-band’s recent reunion. Apparently ratings were so good that it sparked the decision to resurrect the entire series. So if you are happy to hear this news, thank KNOTB.

Gaming and beverages have a wide and varied history, from 7up mascot Spot’s 16-bit adventures, PlayStation’s Pepsi Man and the Donkey Kong Jungle Juice energy drink. I believe in the business world they call this synergy. In the 90′s SEGA and Coca-Cola took such cross-promotional teamwork to the next level, releasing a complete beverage-branded console bundle. In it, you got [...]
Man, Nintendo certainly had a lot of awesome merchandising back in the day. In game-branded food alone there was Nintendo-themed cereal, mac-and-cheese and fruit snacks. Way better than those shitty mint tins they now sell at FYE and Newbury Comics. But here’s a Nintendo product you definitely should not eat: The Legend of Zelda Model Set. Currently [...]
(NOTE: This was a contribution to a feature that ran @NintendoLife about the 25th Anniversary of the NES. You should go read it.) The first video game I ever saw was Kung-Fu for the NES. My older sister’s friend down the street had just gotten the system, so she kindly escorted me down to their [...]
