So they’re showing a show right now called 25 Lame, where John Stewart, Dennis Leary, and 2 other comics rip apart the crappies music videos. It’s pretty good for an MTV show, especially when Vanilla Ice goes nuts at the nd. So the original point when this thing first aired 6 months ago was that this would be the last airing of these videos, and then they would be retired.
But they’re re-running the show!!! They’re showing the videos again. So they aren’t really retired. Duh!!!
You got that right.
Mtv doesn’t get the concept of a lot of things, like the fact that they play music for about 3 hours a day on a network entitiled “Music television.” And most of that stuff is crap.
The day in the 1980s when MTV started showing “The Young Ones” and other NON-music programming is the day that MTV became stupid. It used to be great to know you could always turn to the channel for some music, but now…
Actually, 25 Lame first aired sometime in 1999, not “six months ago.”
But, the videos are so lame I’m glad they’re not really retired.
Silly me, I thought that something called Music Television would not by just music. If all one wants is music, there’s this new thing called a radio… it’s really cool!! Plays music, and commercials, just like TV, but without that annoying flickering picture…
Sorry, I had to.
Also, if you’re on late at night, there’s a huge stretch of video’s from like 3am-9am.
Hey now
Dont dig on the Young Ones…that was genius of British TV
Though I do catch one show on there now as often as I can
JACKASS
The most vile and disgusting show around. I absolutely cry from laughin so hard. In case you have not seen it, a bunch of morons do extremely stupid stuff and tape it. Example:
-Guy tapes up his nether regions and jumps into the outlet tank of a waste treatment plant.
-3 people challange each other to drink 50 glasses of eggnog. 1 guy hits 12 and cant keep it down yet keeps going.
-One guy drives up to service stations in a convertible and begins to ask for directions. After a few seconds the trunk flies open and a guy with a thong bikini, his hands and mouth bound with duct tape “escapes” his captor and runs down the street with the guy in the car chasin after him. The looks on the surrounding peoples faces are priceless.
My girlfriend and most of the female friends I know cant stand it with good reason.
Is it wrong to hope for the “Jackass” people to die in the course of performing their stunts?
Do you think MTV would create a special one-hour episode of “Jackass” if anyone DID die?
Why would anyone think that something called “Music Television” would be anything besides music? The point is, it’s supposed to be music…on television. Would you expect anything other than sports from something called “Sports Television”? Would you expect anything besides news on something called “News Television”? The word “television” only describes the medium, not the (supposed) message of MTV.
And I have nothing against “The Young Ones”; actually I thought it was pretty funny. That doesn’t change the fact that it signalled the downfall of MTV, as it was non-music programming. Same goes for “Remote Control”; I loved the idea of a game show with nothing but TV-related trivia, but again, it’s not music and therefore was out of place on MTV.
This week, MTV has been running this thing called “Best of MTV”, and last night, the feature was the episode of Tom Green where he had his testicular cancer. I’m all in favor of education n’ stuff, and some of it was interesting from a medical point of view, but most of it was TMI. I did not need to see the ENTIRE dissected testicle, and I certainly did not need to see the normal stuff.
