Do you remember when MTV actually played music videos?  email this discussion to a friend?

I remember. Those were good days. I haven't had cable in the last couple of years, so has MTV made an improvement in the amount of music videos they play?

MTV this days plays videos less. All they do is chit chat about something they thought of. And afterwards they'll play some crappy videos of someone I don't know that makes me the remote control and change channels to something like Discovery Channel or HBO . . :))

Back in the 80's, yes. I don't have TV anymore, and I won't until they start showing decent programs. I'll take a limited package if any company offers it, but they want some $50 a month for two or three thousand channels that are worthless to me.

I did see commercials at movie theaters that Cartoon Network will have "reality" shows ...

Yeah I agree. For a cable channel to offer a "choose your channel basis" that will be perfect for me. Since Im only fond of watching "Discovery Channel, National Geo, Animal Planet, HOB, Star Movies. . Well Lifestyle Channel. . A little Bit of Disney Channel, AXN maybe. Basketball TV. . Thats about it.. Why Pay for the extra channels if you dont even watch them right?

Both MTV and sister station MTV2 have a 3-hour overnight block called "AMTV" which combines music videos with news and artist interviews. MTV2 also has a program called "You Rock The Deuce" where viewers can vote on what songs get played. Otherwise both channels are packed with hours of reality shows and other garbage.

I also remember the days of MTV being all (or almost all) videos. I heard the latest pop/rock bands during the day and hard rock/metal bands late at night during the "Headbangers Ball." A few of non-music video programs I liked were rebroadcasts of the British comedy show "The Young Ones," the "Half Hour Comedy Hour" and the game show "Remote Control."
