Format
The show follows a similar format to that set by the popular miniseries I Love the 80s and its successors (which was based on a format put together by the BBC).
Each new episode aired on Friday evening at 11:00 PM, and repeats were usually broadcast several times over the weekend. At the end of every episode, the show would name which celebrity, group of people, or object had "the Best Week Ever".
When the series started, VH1 ran a special once-a-month episode called Best Month Ever, but episodes have ceased production. Similarly, there was also a Best Summer Ever.
The program's original Typepad-hosted blog bestweekever.blogs.com originally served as an ersatz online writer's room, mainly used to preview the events in the news which would end up in the Friday episode. In 2006, BestWeekEver.tv was launched to serve as more of a daily blog mostly separate from the program itself (beyond promotions and tie-ins for the show), detailing humorous stories in the news, odd television and YouTube videos, and features main contributors Michelle Collins, Dan Hopper, and (formerly) Sara Schaefer's observations on pop culture and other items. Despite the show's cancellation, the site is still currently active in its daily format.
The humor on Best Week Ever can best be described as ironic, as comedians assess the week in pop culture. Sometimes actors and musicians also had guest spots on the program. Several panelists were members of the improvisational comedy troupe Respecto Montalban.
