The Day The Music Television Died

31. Here, here. I agree. It hasn't been "Music Television" in a VERY long time. I remember when they were one of the first of their kind. Sad.

34. I agree with all of the posters so far. MTV used to be really cool. You could watch the latest videos 24/7. Now, it's just a bunch of whiny, self-absorbed, self-indulgent reality tripe!!! Who cares about Paris's BFF? Who cares about spoiled brats on My Super Sweet 16? Do I really care about Tia Taquila or endless Real World/Road Rules? NO!!! Live up to your name an play some music! No wonder our youger adults are so messed up with the stuff you put on for them to watch MTV! Even VH1 hardly plays music anymore. It's all this D-list celebrity nonsense! Sad and disgusting!

35. MTV died y-e-a-r-s ago. When MTV started out, it was a must-see to watch the new music videos come out. Now it's just a land of trash.

40. I was at a party at a girl's house, when the first video premeired(Video Killed the Radio Star) it was cool. Once Viacom bought the dang network it changed from music videos that were inovative(thriller) to straight rock and roll(van halen) to every other network. It goes to show you that having a college degree means little in the world of entertainment. When The Real World came on the air, it was the first reality show. new and exciting, creative. But like all networks, they went crazy with the concept and killed it. The show went from, I wonder if they're going to start dating, to everybody having sex with each other.(bad taste). It should be laid to rest, R.I.P MTV. Viacom Killed the Video Star.(circle of life)

41. MTV should be ashamed of themselves I was there glued to my TV in the early 80s waiting for it to come on it was amazing such an experience. The idiots who stopped playing classic videos Like madness Madonna and the stones should be jailed, what moron thought we cared about the real world and that other crap they put on, what happened to head bangers ball. RIP MTV

44. What is old is new again. MTV should go back to it's original format -- videos. I'm sure it would be a hit with the tweens, teens and 20-somethings who haven't a clue as to how the station use to be. It's become a sad joke with all it's crap programming.
