MTV started sucking when they lost the meaning of the "M".

Then you have networks like FUSE who just play crappy stuff, and are like "OMG WE ARE NOT MTV WE SO KEWL" it gets kinda annoying.

Thse two comments sum up my thoughts:

I used to watch a show called "MTV's Most Wanted" on MTV Europe, hosted by a guy called Ray Cokes. This was in the early 90s. Anyone else old enough to remember that?

Much like g4, which is starting to pregressively show more shows that would have been on spiketv and less that actually deal with technology. Me miss Techtv; I used to be able to watch it all day on my days off, and now there are very few shows that I actually watch the channel for.

I don't recall if it was on vh1 or one of the mtvs, but I personally loved that '70's house' show they did awhile back. I also enjoy(ed) hogan knows best and breaking bonaduce, when it was still on.

as far as mtv, mtv2, goes, I used to watch wonder showzen and andy milonakis, but I haven't seen either in awhile. And I occasionally catch reruns of beavis and butthead and that pimp my ride show.

I only watch G4 late at night, when they put the good stuff on, like banzai, The Man Show, and others.

And again I quote lewis black about MTV:

Are you serious? It's shows like that that are bringing the channel down. G4 started out being a video game channel, or really just a channel about technology in general. They're turning into MTV when it comes to playing stuff they weren't designed for. Attack Of The Show and X-Play are really the only shows I like on G4 nowdays.

Attack of the show is severly retarded, I can barely bring myself to watch x-play anymore

another reason why mtv is retared is the music they play is horrible! I rarely see them play any band that rocks. Now we have morons like eminem and Kid rock, like they are the greatest rockers

for the record I am 24 years old and I appreciate mid 80's and up until 1997 then music being stupid.with songs like "the thong song" and "mombo #5" and "bye,bye,bye" and all this other garbage. I remember the days of "Faith no More","Ozzy Osbourne (when he didn't suck)" old "metallica", "nine inch nails" and a few other bands I used to jam to.

sorry about my rant but its how I feel about most of the tunes today and also most of the crap they play on MTV!

There's always been overproduced/promoted stuff in every medium. After a while you learn to just ignore it and look for recommendations from people with similar tastes.

I used to like attack of the show before the recent changes, and I can't stand the new people on the show: olivia munn and that girl that does the feed now. I actually miss when sarah lane did them. I also find Kevin Perriara to be quite annoying; he needs to choke on something phallic.

only shows I watch on g4 now are: xplay; gamemakers; electric playground; and cinenatech. Everything else is garbage.

the crap that g4 plays at night during the midnight spank is worse than everything else; nothing more than crap. I miss Anime Unleashed, damnit!!!

MTV's been retarded since the invention of TRL and the canning of one of my favorite cartoons: MTV's Oddities.

Why is that? Maybe you just choose to think that, since you just bashed the two main shows on the network that cover games and technology.

I saw a Dragonforce video on MTV once. They called their song "Through the Fire and the Flames" - "Through the Wire". I lawled.
