MTV - classic or dud?

LOL OLDS

most ppl i know who watched mtv a lot in the post-video ere just ended up not watching it & aren't really nostalgic for real world-road rules challenges

i think the last thing ppl got rightfully nostalgic about was trl

the end to that madonna performance was pretty awkward!

i used to watch a lot of mtv when i was younger iirc

real world new orleans 4 ever

man i gotta say every time i tune into a new mtv sitcom/drama i am 0_o at how explicit they are. not in a THIS CHANNEL IS DESTROYING THE FABRIC OF SOCIETY kinda way. just amazement at how much they can get away with now.

i dunno, i dont think anything on MTV right now is as explicit as Undressed was, save maybe Skins, which tanked

tom green show

I don't know anyone IRL - adult, teenager or child - who has regularly watched or given a shit about anything on MTV since the late 90s.

what's tom green doing now? i'm guessing semi-popular podcast

Shakey Mo, get the fuck out of here

throwing piggies off a hill, i hope

I remember my grandma being suuuuper o_O at catching me watching this video at age 11.

i'm sure xhucx would agree but the Jesse & the 8th Street Kidz album still holds up

The reaction shots from Timberlake and Mary J. Blige during the Britney/Xtina/Madonna lesbo orgy VMA performance are hilarious.

I was disappointed that the only Martha Quinn moment I saw during this MTV birthday celebration is a five second clip of her saying "Hi! I'm Martha Quinn." Queen Live Aid performance is good.
Biggie on the Grind, though, holy shit. Oh and Radiohead playing Creep at a Spring Break Beach party!

i am still and can't ever see myself not being nostalgic for early road rules (pre-RR/RW challenge shit) eps

I was kind of hoping it would be a never-ending cycle of olds bitching about youngs via MTV.

"Man, remember when MTV used to play videos all the time before this House of Style bullshit?"
"Man, remember when MTV used to play whole videos without teenagers screaming and sending 'shout-outs' over the top?"
"Man, remember when MTV used to play videos at all?"
"Man, remember when MTV used to play those good reality shows like Real World and Road Rules?"
"Man, remember when MTV used to have shows with Nick Cannon?"
etc, etc, ad infinitum

the lasting legacy of mtv for my generation of teens is jackass, quite obviously

jersey shore is a bit past my age

from my experience, ppl that are into music would be v nostalgic about the box

Oh man The Box was great.

damn, son

mtv was too entertaining for me, at precisely the right time in my life, to really give a shit what happened to it after i tuned out

i mean there's only so far you can take affection for a giant corporation before you blunder into fondly remembering commercials

oh right Jackass. allright I retract my previous post. totally forgot Jackass was MTV tbh

i'm proud of ilx for not being so tacky

Except a big chunk of this thread has been you bitching about MTV not being as good as it used to be.

kennedy turning out to be some neocon harpie was real disappointment to me.

lewis largent is doing 20 years to life for murder

find me one post

best kennedy moment ever was her trying to interview martin landau.

landau having none of her gen x glibness.

no nobody gives two fucks for kennedy.

i had the hugest crush on kennedy for real tho

I always hated her but now I think I am retroactively attracted to her.
Lol nostalgia is weird

find me one post

Well not bitching, but iirc the whole general tone of this recent revive is how much better MTV was in the 90s, right?

always hated her and yes she is a neocon harpy

hey let's not get into this argument because who cares

god i hated kennedy at the time

i mean i'm sure i'd hate her now, too, maybe even more, but she's not showing up on my tv six hours per day

In a 2000 interview she is quoted as saying that she is a registered Republican but an ideological libertarian.

In a 2010 interview on Fox Business's Freedom Watch she discussed her libertarian views with Judge Andrew Napolitano.
