Do you guys actually remember the good old days when MTV played music videos and the "real world" was actually where we existed?

MTV is the spawn of Corporate Satan. If I owned Viacom, I would fire 99% of the people who works at MTV, cancel most of the shows (cept for Pimp my Ride, and Wild'n'Out) and start from scratch with Music as my basis.

MTV played pretty much music videos all day long (there was a game show or 2, anyone remember "remote control"?) but for the most part it was just music.

Then they made MTV2 which played a lot of non mainstream bands...

then MTV got overrun by bad shows like the real world, etc.. so they made MTV2 into the primary music channel. Now MTV2 is overrun with shows too..

Being that youtube and the internet video in general is getting so big, I am not sure TV really needs to be showing music videos anymore..

But that's like saying Radio shouldn't be playing music cause of MP3s.
I believe there is a market for music videos on a TV Channel.
Sometimes I just like to sit back with an open mind and watch/listen to a sample of the music out there, instead of trying to find specific pieces.

At any rate, MTV is just false advertising at this point, I wish they would change their channel name and give the MTV brand to another provider who would actually play music videos.

Man oh man, I remember MTV Europe (pretty much a UK based thing back then) broadcasting hours long techno mixes at night in the weekends. Also, hosts with some wit.

hard to fathom these days..

I remember that...

Do you also remember when people started getting pissed? So in response, MTV had the whole "where are the music videos?" campaign. It was a promotion for MTV2 where two disgruntled delivery guys would go to houses to drop off a TV playing MTV2. When no one answered the door, they threw it through the window of their living room and flashed the text "There's your music videos, now shut up" or something like that.

Which even MTV2 was commercialized into marathons of Real World, Yo Mama and all that other craptacular crap they peddle. No music videos at all.

Remember when 9 year old children in Internet chatrooms were actually 9 year old children and not undercover detectives? Those were the days...
