Cold as Ice Cream But Still As Sweet August 14, 2000

Deborah Harry, probably the most under-rated performer of our time, (and the best-looking 55-year-old woman around) finally gets her story told in this extremely enjoyable Behind The Music episode. If you've already watched and/or recorded this from VH1 and think you don't need to see the video......think again! There is lots of additional footage here that was not included in the TV special, like almost the entire video of "I Can See Clearly", more of the early black-and-white concert footage, the video for "Maria" and lots more. An excellent treat for the Blondite!
Blondiemania is Back! December 7, 1999

I still find it hard to believe that I actually own a video as wonderful as this. As a Blondie fan of many years I remember how difficult it was to get any information about Deborah Harry or any of the band members just a couple of years ago. Now with the release of No Exit and this excellent VH1 showcase Blondiemania is Back! The producers to a wonderful job of weaving a very intimate portrait of Blondie's journey to stardom as well as Deborah's evolution into a pop icon and mature performer. My only reservation is that it left out crucial points. For instance there is no mention of Deborah's 1981 solo album Koo Koo. There are no interviews with Nigel Harrison, Frank Infante or Gary Valentine which would have been fascinating. Also the video seems to suggest that Deborah's solo career was somehow lack luster but then relies heavily on her solo videos and photos to tell the story of Blondie.
A very well produced video! July 2, 1999

In the late 70's and early 80's blondie was one of the worlds most fameous bands.This video covers there whole career from the early days when they got started to becomeing internationaly famous to there brake up in the eightys it then goes on to tell about there recent reuniteing. It tells all the details and contains indepth interviews with the band members. It also includes footage of the band recording there 1999 release "NO EXIT" It even includes the video for there latest # 1 single Maria. This video is a must have for any blondie fan!

This is a very well produced video biography of the group "BLONDIE".I have been a fan of "Blondie" for many,many years but never had the facts about how the group members got together or Debra Harry's background until i saw this video.This video pulls no punches,it tells about their struggles to make it as a band and then the internal bickering that ended up pulling them apart.The love story between Chris Stein and Debra Harry is wonderful,how she stood beside him during some very trying times is a lesson alot of relationships could benefit from.This is a wonderful video and i highly recommend it to any "Blondie" fans out there who want to get a real good basic background of them.I also highly recommend Blondie's reunion concert in New York City which promotes their newest releases(which by the way are great also!).

This DVD is a must have for any Blondie fan. I just purchased this DVD and love it. The additional footage is great. Also, the movie is very good and explains the entire Blondie story. The footage of Debbie and the band are great!
