I Love the '90s is a television mini-series produced by VH1 in which various music and TV personalities talk about the 1990s culture and all it had to offer. The show premiered July 12, 2004 with the episode "I Love 1990" and aired two episodes daily until July 16, 2004, when it ended with "I Love 1999". On January 17, 2005, a sequel (named I Love the '90s: Part Deux) was aired in the same fashion.
MC Hammer presents the best dance songs for each year.
Liz Phair presents the "Dirty Alternative Rockers" for each year.
Michael Bolton presents the top female entertainment personalities he calls "Hotties" for each year.
Jay & Silent Bob rename each year's favorite TV show.
Jerry Springer gives his "Final Thoughts" on that year at the end of each show; this is a parody of the segment of the same name on The Jerry Springer Show.
During the credits of every episode, a clip from a popular music video was played without any type of commentary. These were usually replaced with a show promo by VH1.
