The Day The Music Television Died
Since "Total Request Live" will officially be defunct after tonight's final episode, MTV should consider changing its name to "Real World/Road Rules Challenge Reruns TV."
Just a suggestion.

2. So... i'm guessing theres no more MTV video Music awards then right?... its kinda sad. I grew up watching MTV. I'll admit i havent been watching it for years now. Idk for some reason its lost its appeal. People dont really care for it now. It got old. Either way its sad. =-( oh well.

3. ...and too many commercials doesn't help viewership either. Those commercial breaks were 10 minutes sometimes. Sheesh!

4. Hmmmm....I remember the first MTV broadcast, then came the rap/hiphop era, then the "reality era". But each time it was declared dead, the corpse rose from the ashes and began to suck the blood of the living once again. I wonder what transformation is next for the changeling?

5. Yes, MTV died many years ago, ever since they started putting on these stupid reality shows. MTV- is suppose to be MUSIC TELEVISION. I missed going to MTV watching the lastest videos and could always have a good song playing. They need to go back to what they started with and take all this garbage off that their playing now. MTV needs to have a request line for videos like they used to, Yo MTV RAPS, Headbangers Ball, TRL, MTV NEWS that's what should be MTV.
BRING BACK THE MUSIC AND THE VIDEOS 24/7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8. Music or not, MTV is "pop culture" at its very, very worst.
In fact, I'd argue that nothing has been more corrosive to the fabric of society over the last 20 years than MTV. The producers of that rot are no doubt proud of that.

9. Oh please MTV died years ago. I remember when it was MUSIC TELEVISION. Now they have garbage like Paris Hilton's BFF. WTF???? Is this the best they can come up with? Where are the videos? Where's the music? Oh that's right MTV dumped that concept years ago. Whomever is in charge of programming at MTV should ALL be fired. It's no wonder that people don't watch this channel anymore. Hello???? MTV are you listening???? Oh that's right they're all dead over there. RIP MTV.

10. I remember seeing the very first video played...VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR by the buggles. The 80's had the best videos, and it was all music back then. Stopped watching mtv many many years ago. At least vh1 has some flashback shows once in a while.

MTV was awesome when it first came out. Nothing but MUSIC and it gave all the artists a good reason to make some awesome, creative videos. Too bad they don't do all their reality BS and crap shows on a spin off station and leave the real MTV to what made it great and made people watch - MUSIC. I haven't bothered to watch in forever.
