I guess it was dead by the time my generation saw it.

The chick that used to interview people is now married to Micheal Lewis - author of Moneyball and Liars Poker.

I remember there was a country music version called CMT a while back.

My personal fav is the various shows about knocked up teen girls who’ve parlayed it into Escalades, tricked out jeeps, new baby step daddies, and the conciliatory broken grand parent that hangs around the fancy double wide.

The worst is that pig-faced gal from the OGs (I think that’s what it’s called). Just a disgusting human.

First time I saw it was on a Pensacola cable station. I was mesmerized. I think it was 1981.

So much wasted potential, sort of like Adam and Eve being kicked out of Eden.

Rob Dyrdek is a genius. He has made somewhere in the $50 million dollar range doing a low quality version of Tosh.0

MTV died with the music over 20 years ago.


Since then it's been nothing but a string of low budget teen girl drama. Those "reality shows" were dragging the bottom of the gene pool for audiences.

It was a non-stop train of Brittney Spears music videos with some sentence fragments from the most boring TV personality in history (Carson Daily).
