Having been a young teen in the early 80's I remember well what Mtv was like when it was new. It started to go to crap in the late eighties. Now they are going to rehash the same shows which contributed to it's downfall.
BTW, I love Beavis and Butthead.
Give me the Buggles.
And The Jam, Pat Benatar, and Elvis Costello
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, MTV ... it does not rock, yo, yo, yo....
You are absolutely right about the timeline for great music videos. I blame the rise of rap and grunge.
I didn’t have MTV until 18986, but the local TV stations late at night had great videos without hosts and few commercials. It was a dreamland.
I pass by VH1 occasionally and the sexuality sickens me. No creativity, just over the top production and vacuousness.
The only decade in which MTV mattered was the 1980s.
No thanks. MTV in the 90s wasn’t good. They stopped playing videos in the early 90s.
It’s kind of weird how they’re pretend there were no 80s. But of course they didn’t have much in the way of their own programming in the 80s. The only thing they could really show is videos from the 80s, which is what VH1 classic is for. It would be kind of cool though if they took basically random hours of their programming and reshowed them basically as-is (probably replace the commercials).
Hey, maybe they could just get a channel that shows music videos instead of navel gazing crap.
Me too on B+B and all their animation, but someone needs to tell MTV they’re never gonna recreate the magic of the original, and I also was there from the get-go. World’s too jaded now, and them as well as the rest don’t have the creativity to achieve what once was so good.

Beavis & Butthead had a Christmas special (”It’s a Miserable Life”) where an angel shows them how much better the world would be if they’d never been born...priceless.
I always watched the Florida - Georgia football game on TV every year...no matter what. So, one Saturday I was watching. OK. So I was laying on the sofa and dozing off. But I knew the score. In walks my two teenage daughters and they say, “Dad. There’s nothing on TV but an old football game. We’ll change the channel for you. Next thing I knew, some Millie and Vanilli video was on my TV. I came up off the sofa and, needless to say, the TV got switched back to the football game in a hurry. But back in the day, I will say, MTV videos were usually on TV in my house.
