Remember when MTV played music?

MTV used to be the channel to watch when you wanted to listen to the latest hits or discover new music. Some of the worlds greatest artists have gained popularity through MTV. Eveyone can remeber those saturday mornings when you sat on your couch and watched music videos for hours on end. Or early in the morning while waiting for your ride to school. Now, when someone thinks about MTV they automaticly think of the rediculous shows they  have now, Jersey Shore, Awkward, My Life as Liz, etc. Unless you wake up at four in the morning, its not likely that you will find some music videos. So many people are wondering what happened to MTV? where did all the music videos go? MTV viewing have increased every since they started showing TV shows, some have become pretty popular nation wide, but that doesnt make up for the lack of music.

Personally, i love some of the TV shows on MTV, but i do miss the good old days of music videos. I wish there was some sort of happy medium where there could be both.

  1. Personally, I find the Top 20 Countdowns to be rather boring. Beavis and Butthead with J-Shore would be picked over a gross "Eminem Takeover" anyday! They should call it Media Televison rather than Music...

  2. I don't watch MTV, but I have heard some of their shows are not very good.
