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

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

jon /via/ chi 2.0, Monday, 1 August 2011 19:29 (thirteen years ago) link

god i hated kennedy at the time

king of torts (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Monday, 1 August 2011 19:30 (thirteen years ago) link

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

king of torts (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Monday, 1 August 2011 19:30 (thirteen years ago) link

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.

anyway, despite markers' + hoos' protests, i think objectively speaking jackass is the legacy of mtv for our gen of teenagers, and it's a pretty damn good one!

i like jersey shore as much as the next person, but jackass >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

kennedy was always the worst

horseshoe, Monday, 1 August 2011 19:31 (thirteen years ago) link

i don't care if kennedy voted for the fuckin lizard people, she was on the top of my 95 smash list

james blood ulver (Whiney G. Weingarten), Monday, 1 August 2011 19:32 (thirteen years ago) link

I always hated her so much. She was always trying way too hard to be alt when you know that in her tiny blackened soul she secretly loved Nelson.

Oh I remember that Ringwald thing! That was deep in the depths of my huge crush on her.

Like Whiney is the premiere example of an intelligent dude that should never post on a message board because he completely undercuts all the good crit-work he does by behaving like a complete fucking tool.

It was one thing to see all the clips from when I was a regular viewer, but there was this weird elastic disconnect of nostalgia happening on me last night while watching those post-90s clips, when I had finally outgrown MTV and wasn't paying attention to it anymore. Even though I never watched Jackass or Eminem on the Video Awards, I knew at the time who they were of course. To me, that much time hasn't gone by since they first aired, but yep, 10 years. It's like when the NFL Channel shows month-old games and they're all played on filmstock, slightly in slow motion.

Seeing "Hit Me Baby One More Time' on an episode of TRL reminded me of 9/11. Weird how things get crosswired.

Oh, and how I have been spoiled on HDTV. They may as well have been playing herky-jerky sepia movies from the Edison era when showing some of those in-studio clips.

carson daly settled so comfortably into his younger more boring nu-dick clark persona that it almost seems weird that he was on MTV at all now

om nom nom nnamdi asomugha (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Monday, 1 August 2011 19:41 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah i have to admit that when carson was on trl i kinda thought he projected a subtly above-it-all attitude but i guess he was just waiting to become showbiz shill dude all along

king of torts (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Monday, 1 August 2011 19:42 (thirteen years ago) link

one of my fave trl moments was when he tried to drop a joke about rush

king of torts (strongo hulkington's ghost dad), Monday, 1 August 2011 19:42 (thirteen years ago) link

tom green went on trl 2 retire the bum bum song iirc
