VH1's Greatest Teen Stars: Accurate, to a point


I love VH1. They always have countdown shows and Behind the Music and The Greatest This and That. Their latest offering, The 100 Greatest Teen Stars, was great-- to a point. They always miss a few. And they always have a few that don't deserve a spot on their list.

The countdown was entertaining. I always wondered whatever happened to HR PufnStuf's Jack Wild (it ain't good).

But the omissions were so glaring! No Robby Benson? No Glynnis O'Connor ? (OK, I'm an Ode to Billy Joe fan). And who the hell is John Francis Daley, anyway??? I'm still pissed at VH1 for not recognizing Kim Richards during their Greatest Child Star series. But all in all, this series was good. David Cassidy was mentioned. So was Matt Dillon. And Melissa Sue Anderson-- aka Mary Ingalls-- finally got her day. Out of her sister's shadow.



In case you missed it -- SPOILER ALERT -- here are the Top 10:

1. Molly Ringwald 2. Rob Lowe 3. Britney Spears 4. Anthony Michael Hall 5. Shannen Doherty 6. David Cassidy 7. Winona Ryder 8. Corey Haim  9. River Phoenix 10. Matt Dillon
