The 1980s gave us some of the best rom-coms ever, including When Harry Met Sally, Pretty Woman, Say Anything, The Princess Bride, Moonstruck and John Hughes classics like Sixteen Candles and Pretty in Pink. And now you can revisit all of your favorites in the rom-com–themed season 3 premiere of The Very Very Best of the 80s tonight.
Hosted by proud '80s baby Kelly Osbourne, The Very Very Best of the 80s is an "insightful, nostalgic, and witty countdown show" that celebrates "the best and most iconic television, film and pop culture moments of the 1980s," reads the series' official synopsis. Each week, Osbourne welcomes a diverse panel of celebrity guests and culture experts to help count down through a catalog of topics, ranging from teen flicks to game shows.
And the nostalgia-inducing season 3 debut is ranking all of the best romantic comedies of the Eighties, with popular personalities like E.T. star Dee Wallace, basketball icon John Salley, The Facts of Life actress Mindy Cohn and more joining in to give their opinions on the decade's funniest and most swoon-worthy movie titles and why they've each earned a special place in pop culture history.
The "Rom-Coms" edition of The Very Very Best of the 80s premieres tonight, July 12, at 8pm Eastern Time on Axs TV. The channel is included with most cable packages, but if you're a cord-cutter, you can tune in to the episode via a live TV streaming service like DirectTV Stream, Philo TV and Sling TV. Future installments of The Very Very Best of the 80s season 3 will focus on action TV shows, family-friendly movies and iconic '80s moms.
“Having been born in the ‘80s, this decade has always been close to my heart, and I know so many people around the world feel the same way,” Osbourne said in a statement. “Whether you lived through it, just missed it, or barely remember it, the ‘80s gave us some of the greatest music, movies, TV, toys, and more that are still impacting and influencing pop culture today. It has been so much fun to be a part of this series, and getting to relive the magic of this one-of-a-kind era. I cannot wait to share it with AXS TV’s audience as we celebrate ‘The Very VERY Best Of The 80s’!”
