Was this when the channel was at it's peak? TRL, Jackass, Wildboyz, Tom Green, The Osbournes? Btw, Andy Milonakis is 42 now.

Peak MTV was back when they actually played music videos.

120 Minutes, Headbangers Ball, Yo MTV Raps, etc.

MTV spring break during my adolescent and teenage years was fap city, especially before they started cracking down on the swimsuits they would show on there.

How are you going to talk about early 2000's MTV without Cribs and Pimp My Ride?

Late 90s when they had Daria and Celebrity Deathmatch

So many goodies in my early teenage years...they just don't make them like this anymore. That opening for "Fear" with Godsmack Voodoo was dope.



Also, coming home from school in the afternoon and watching all of those dating gameshows they used to have.












Lastly, those first few seasons of True Life had some memorable episodes like the Tommy Cheeseballs Summershare(I truly believe this is where Jersey Shore stemmed from) and True Life I'm a gamer.

Late 80's and early 90's there were fewer people with cable TV, or didn't have MTV on their packages. From a numbers standpoint, I'm sure anything in the 2000's would rate higher.

Completely forgot about Celebrity Deathmatch! I loved that show in the 90s.

My favorite MTV era was late 90s - very early 2000s before it became Reality TV more than anything else. I was a bit young for the late 80s era and don’t think I watched much until the mid 90s. Still had music videos and a large amount of music in general compared to today

The 1990s killed them, so it was before then.

Never seen people so stupid that they wouldn't return to the formula that made them successful.
