NEW YORK, Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Check out all of the brand new premieres headed to VH1 and VH1 Classic this week.

IN A COMPLETELY NEW TEN-HOUR EVENT, VH1 TAKES YOU TO THE THIRD DIMENSION FOR

"I LOVE THE 80s: 3D"

More Than 200 Music Artists, TV And Film Stars, Athletes And Celebs Give A Fresh Look Back At The Decade In VH1's Outrageous Year-By-Year Flashback Premiering Monday-Friday, October 24 - 28 At 9:00 PM* And 10:00 PM* Each Night

We're back, we're funnier than ever, and because we haven't run out of ideas, we're taking it to the third dimension, with gnarly special effects that'll-like-blow your mind! That's right. Put on your 3D glasses and check out that chick's bangs, with "I Love The 80s: 3D!"

VH1 is reprising its highly successful and hilarious I Love the '80s approach for "I Love the 80s: 3D." All of your favorite comics, rock stars and celebs will come together once more to wax poetic about the essential '80s experience, and this time it will be a vision altering event. From Jheri- curls to Rat-tails, Oak Ridge Boys to Fine Young Cannibals, Star Search to Spenser for Hire, Cannonball Run to Naked Gun, the offbeat nostalgia show will bring viewers a skewed view of the music, movies, TV shows, fashions, fads, and trends that defined pop culture during every year of the decade. "I Love the 80s: 3D" premieres Monday-Friday, October 24-28, beginning at 9:00 pm and 10:00 pm each night.

Viewers can pick up their free 3D eyeglasses at Best Buy stores nationwide while supplies last beginning Saturday, October 22. Take a chill pill because even if you can't get the glasses you'll still have a bodacious time watching the series as a result of new 3D technology.

Each one-hour episode of "I Love The 80s: 3D" is a totally excellent adventure through a single year, celebrating the good, the bad, and the greedy through retro clips from sitcoms, movies, music videos, TV commercials, network news and other sources -- plus more than 200 new interviews with the people who survived the decade that created "the fruit roll-up."

On Sunday, October 23 "My Fair Brady"

Concerned that he didn't completely win over Adrianne's family in Joliet; Chris is starting to feel insecure in their relationship. His worry that he may lose her causes him to deter Adrianne's attempts to find her own apartment and he deletes messages from realtors trying to contact her. To prove his love for her, Chris surprises Adrianne with a trip to Puerto Rico to give them a chance to reconnect and spend some quality time together. Easily impressed, Adrianne is blown away by all the island has to offer; especially the first- class accommodations. It's two days of love and exploration as the pair traverses their bedroom, a multi-million dollar yacht and the streets of Old San Juan. The lush, tropical setting casts a spell over Adrianne and leaves her longing for a permanent commitment from Chris.

"Breaking Bonaduce"

During his first weeks of treatment, the rehab team is attempting to get Danny to come to a healthier place. Not just physically, but mentally as well: Breathing exercises, yoga, spiritual-counseling ... anything to get him to slow his mind down. But expectedly, Danny is resisting the program. Fits and tantrums stunt his early progress. Eventually however, Danny begins to warm up to some of their more 'new age' methods and he at least attempts to play nice. But when the facility decides it's time to bring Gretchen in for a couples exercise, the sparks begin to fly as Danny becomes enraged with Gretchen's lack of trust for him and he threatens to leave rehab.
