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.

77. MTV has become a huge joke. I stopped watching it a long time ago, but then became real disgusted when they brought their own series of reality shows. The Hills is a joke and don't even get me started on Date my Mom or the other one where the person between their current partner or the new ones mom and dad picked out!! WTF?? They have officially sold their soul to the reality show market and apparently they aren't coming back. Damn Shame!!

78. I remeber being about 10 yrs old watching MTV I loved it! We would stay up all night watching videos and were so in love with all the VJs back then. Then the TV shows atarted and all the videos started. VH1 was the same way and CMT bring back the music!!!!!

81. If you want to see music videos turn to the MTV Hits channel.. it's videos almost 24/7 with no shows and limited commercials.

82. Maybe next year they'll change back to a music channel. It's so sad what MTV has turned into. Keep reality TV separate from music people!!! So stupid!!

84. Simply said MTV is not what it usd to be when it first appeared on tv. It 3as music videos, rock,pop headbanger videos,rap and so on. Then yhey started with this rules of the road bs and all the other ridiculous ultra materialistic crap and their stupid getting along issues. It left a really bad impression of MTV. I think MTV.needs an overhaul really bad. The sooner the better. Maybe then I'll start watching it again. It SUCKS as it is right now! Angell jr

87. ya know, i remember when mtv just ran videos and NO commercials!..its just garbage now. the games, and the stupid drunkin beach parties, and reruns of reality crap. mtv died years ago, and they sooooo lost their appeal. too bad. maybe we should go back to the radio.

88. MTV used to be about cutting edge and being an individual. Was great from 1981-91. Then 'The Real World" and the rest is its historical decline. Now they promote 'corporate confomrity' with unattainable beauty and status standards. The fluff head reality shows of spoiled rich kids and mean dating shows like 'dissmissed".
Kids think show biz and fame [or being famous for nothing] are the only ways to "make it." . And all that matters is first impressions or your out.
OTOH, while 80's teens loved Music Videos, today's kids dont like seeing them over again. Music and artists are disposable. So, more status consciece garbage.
Parents should now block the channel to kids under 18.

89. Mtv died when it became booty shakin rump video channel a few years back- horrible since then. Horrible. I love to watch retro hour and see the real videos from the 80s.

90. The last time I even watched MTV on a regular basis was in the mid 90's when I was in High School. Since about 97', though, it really has become a POS.
