MTV used to be cool as hell when it first started. Just one music video after another. No commercials or shows -- just "VJs" who would introduce the songs and maybe chat a little about the bands, just like the DJs on the radio. We would turn it on during parties and let it run all night. Cool as hell. But you couldn't pay me to watch it now.

Trivia question: What product was advertised in the first commercial to air on MTV?

Answer: Bubble Yum.

If I had to say, which video I associate the most with early MTV, it would be this one:

Who Can it Be Now? - Men at Work
