trl cannot play ALL of the 10 videos and run their mouths in one hour. i remember when trl was 90 min., but then it just dragged on too long.

what i hate is when trl does the top 20 videos and have guests on the showin one hour . it is pointless


but yeah that do play reruns all the time. want to know how pathetic i am. i will watch 'newlyweds' when it first airs. then i will watch the 20 times they air the same episode in the next week. i will watch it like it's the first time. i cannoy help that i am an addict of the show. i am waiting for the dvd!!!! *crosses fingers*


i want to know what possessed mtv to air 'the ashlee simpson show'. that has to be one of the most boring shows on mtv.


i miss the old mtv (referring to mid 90s). i loved it so much then. mtv was just so cool then.

Bring back:

Headbanger Ball hosted by Ricki Rachtman
Yo! MTV Raps hosted by Dr. Dre and Ed Lover

apparently they have 2 other channels for other stuff. One is mtv2, I dont really know what its all about, and the other just shows videos 24/7. MTV hits I think its called.

Wasnt MTV2 created to just show videos? now they have 2 whole channels of just reruns?!

[ZTAngel]

They have an MTV Jams, too. It's for digital cable only but only certain digital cable providers subscribe to it.

ETA:
Bring back Beavis & Butthead and Daria!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TRL sucks and they should just get rid of that too.

I agree with moe.ron, Headbanger's Ball and Yo! MTV Raps need to come back. I miss the shows of the 80s-- 1800-Dial-MTV and Remote Control!

This infuriates me to no end. They used to play all music videos and they'd play a mix of stuff from hip hop to new wave stuff you hadn't heard in years then some brit pop and then some heavy metal band you've never heard of...it was so awesome. Now they play TV shows, 5 hour blocks of hip hop, cheesy rock countdowns, blah blah blah. It's horrible now! I used to find out about new bands from videos on MTV2 and now I just get to hear the new stupid Puddle of Mudd song.

Oh, and they do play Headbanger's Ball on MTV2, I think it's on 10:30 Saturday nights and 8:30 during the week? Something like that.

Anybody remember the ORIGINAL Beavis & Butthead -- I think it was called "Billy and Bobby" or something like that. I just remember one episode they were sledding down the hill and one of them got hit by a big truck. It was so funny to watch. It was very primative for a cartoon too -- even more so than B&BH.

I so MISS B&BH -- what a classic show!! SouthPark is funny and all, but just not the good role models that kids could get from B&BH

Beavis & Butthead is on MTV2, along with Aeon Flux. I think Daria is on the N.

ETA: I wish MTV would remember that people older than 18, and many people from the original "MTV generation" still exist. These days I just feel ancient when I watch, since most of the programs are targeted to high school and young college students.

Anyone remember Classic MTV? Bring that back!

10:00p.m. Saturday Nights.

MTV should bring back 120 Minutes. When it was good, it was the best thing on TV not just MTV. The new releases of the Beastie Boys and the Cure have me feeling nostalgic.

My sentiments exactly! I want MTV to return to the early to mid 1980s format! At that time they played the latest videos as well as the classic videos. There were no reality or game shows, but they did briefly air 'The Young Ones' back in 1984. They also showed concerts. Now, I avoid watching it as much as possible.

VH1 Classic plays nothing but the classics. I like watching this a lot!

I watch it also. Mostly, I enjoyed Metal Mania, We are the Eighties, and Rock Fest.

I think the problem is that the people at MTV aren't listening to the public when they try to explain what they like, they're TELLING people what to like, and will cram it down our throats until we as a society are sick of it. All those crap pop bands made by MTV (Donnas, Good Charlotte, Creed) as well as the pop boy bands were expected to fizz out eventually, but that just means a team of 30 somethings that call themselves "consultants" will come in and tell the execs what THEY believe youngs adults want. Daria even parodied this.

Whatever, I'll get off my high horse and just say I don't watch MTV anymore and try not to bitch about it too much because there's nothing we really can do about it, and it's really not a big deal.
