On August 1st, 1981 MTV aired it’s first music video “Video Killed the Radio Star” by the Buggles.
Now when I sit in front of my television to watch Music Television I expect to see music videos, but that didn’t happen today. I turned on my television to discover that MTV now schedules shows such as “Life of Ryan,” “That’s Amore!” and “Rob and Big.” At first I thought “Well maybe they’re having a lame-show marathon today.” But after reviewing MTV’s program listing for the week I have learned that only 20 hours of seven entire days are dedicated to music videos. Most, if not all, of which are aired before the sun even rises in the morning. Now for those of you thinking “Who cares about MTV?” Just know that it’s for the kids. Which is why I am going to take action and write an angry letter. If you’d like to see more music on music television please join me.

My original plan involved taking picket signs and going all the way to New York on August 1st, MTV’s 27th anniversary. If anyone’s interested in doing it contact me. I remember back in the day when television had good quality shows and actually aired music videos. Remember Doug Funnie? Wasn’t that a good show? Well, that’s a different story.
Keep it real. Ya digg~?

Yeah MTV’s changed. Makes the fact that I don’t have cable anymore more bearable.
That’s awesome though, if I had the money I’d happily tag along but I’m with ya in spirit!
Hahah Doug. Good show.
Yeah, Mtv sucks big time now! & what the fuck’s with TRL these days? Wh must they continue to make the guests do some lame game when all they wanna do is premire their video and get out of there!
haha, YOu should totally write an angry letter! About time MTV changes their name, or at least their programming cause calling themselves “music television” is pretty hypocritcal of them!
ps, that Doug Funnie Cribs video is so hilarious!
Doug is awesome! Doug Funnie for Prez!
Personally I think MTV simultaneously has some of the worst and best stuff on cable - have you seen “True Life”? Sometimes they cover things I never have even thought about. What about Rob and Big? I think it’s super entertaining. But when you roll over and see shows like “My Sweet 16″ or “Rock of Love” it makes me want to puke and defecate while hanging myself.
I think the only things I ever watch on TV now is sports center, and the history channel.
