When did MTV get rid of the music videos anyway?

Now they seem to have dumb reality shows, and not music videos.

They actually have a show now where parents of gay male teens interview men to date their teen. Beyond sick.

Couldn’t live without South Park, BUT it gets uploaded by someone on bitorrent AND it has a FREE channel which the creators shrugged at. \

The rest can die..MTV? Didn’t know it still existed.

Sometime after 1985.

Maybe time warner would decrease your bill if they leave. Right. All viacom’s stuff is pretty mind-numbing anyway, I’d say good riddance.

The only show I would miss is South Park, and that’s only half-heatedly since I can get all any SP episode off the web.

please pull it off the air. I would love to be able to pick and choose which cable networks I viewed. Handful... Fox, ESPN, Discovery, A&E, History Channel, TMC....Spike, ....and then pay per view on NFL games. or NFL channel.

That's about it. the rest is cr#p.

Since they all have commercials, they should all be free.

I agree...nothing I'd miss off that list. It'd be nice if they would add a few movie channels...preferably classic movies.

That is sort of convoluted logic for Viacom.

Pay us more or we will pull the channels.

Yet, if they pull the channels, they will lose what they are getting now.
