MTV

I thought it waas really funny, on a couple levels, to look at the premier of MTV.

First off, they actually played music. I remember when I was little they were always playing music, then they began to slowly change into reality tv. I find it quite frustrating that a channel called Music Television hardly plays music. The only musical show they have is TRL if they even still play that, I don't know. You would think that TRL, being their only musical show, would be awesome and jam packed with music. It's not. They don't even play the whole song when they show the video, not to mention the quality of their music choices. If I were to be placed on this earth with no former knowledge of MTV I would assume that they would play all kinds of music spanning every genre popular and obscure. The music they do play is unforgivable.

Also I thought it was funny that everyone had say something about it being in stereo, that's just a given these days. It's cool to see how much MTV started though. Now big bands are expected to have music videos, it would seem weird if a band didn't have any.

Overall, I am severely disappointed in the direction MTV went. It could have been such a cool station. With a category as broad as music, they could have done so much, but the 'real world' came out and destroyed any integrity they would ever have.
