A VH1 bimbette hosts, tries to read her copy convincingly and make us think
she actually knows something about the guest artist, then starstruck VH1
"we're not worthy" doofus Eddie Trunk asks inane questions of the guest. If
said guest has half a brain and/or an intellect exceeding that of Trunk
(with the average human, half a brain would seem to be sufficient to ensure
said intellectual superiority), their comments may be interesting.

(This analysis based on the single "Hangin' With..." segment I have seen,
which was with Rush drummer Neil Peart--for whom the requirement for
intellectual ascendancy over Trunk drops to probably a mere 1/10th of
cerebral capacity.)

Far too many intro/outro segments and commercials.

The segment with Plant will surely be worth it just to see how he reacts to
the inevitable "Reunion Question" and "Are You Still in Touch with Jimmy
Page Question." Although apparently one topic of conversation will be "the
future of online music."
