I’ve never had any use for MTV and couldn’t understand what my daughter got out of it when she was younger. I remember enjoying watching musicals or variety shows when I was younger

Just the program descriptions for MTV shows like Girl Code scare me far away from that channel.

I had deleted MTV from the lineup on the cable box just so I wouldn’t have to surf through it. When three of the grand kids came to live with us, the oldest wanted to know why we couldn’t get MTV. I shamelessly told her the TV was too old and would not pick it up. It worked until the next power outage, anyway.

Early MTV was alright...when it was still “Music Television.” It came out with a handful of “V-Js” when I was in High School. In a few years it ran through some classic performers along with some unknown, quirkie acts. It was a great way to find something new that might not get radio time but they aired since they were brave enough to make a video.

Unfortunately, MTV became fixated on Michael Jackson and Prince.

I hadn’t watched it from about 1985 through about 1990. I had enlisted in the Air Force and served overseas. When I returned to the CONUS it seemed MTV had little more than crappy reality shows.
