Could not agree with your selection of the best material any less. Gilly? Seriously? And the Diane Sawyer interview featured probably the laziest sketch writing and weakest Dick Cheney impersonation I've ever seen.
Fred's character in the monologue, La Policia Mexicana, and Da Learning Train were all better than the above two sketches.

The problem is the show you described would be educational and entertaining, this is VH1 we're talking about. They don't do really do shows like that.

Occasionally VH1 throws me for a ringer and makes a really cool "Rock Doc" about the 70s or drug culture (or both! they're the same!) that I come across while flipping channels that just blows me away. They impresses me because they are well-done docs on interesting subjects (often music related - holy hell!) and not a tangentially-related-to-someone-famous dating show or something about how rich people have money. BUT the bad VH1 feelings immediately come back when the commercials start and every second one is for Flavor of Rock Bus with Loving Money and Picking Up Women.
