From 1981-1997, MTV was a great network, playing great (and sometimes not so great) music and good programming, most notably Beavis and Butthead. However, around 1997, MTV started focusing on Pop music, shifting away from the Rock music that made them famous, and canceling Beavis and Butthead (though fortunately brought it back in 2011). While MTV did air decent reality shows in the early part of the 21st century like Jackass and Viva La Bam, it was mainly focused on crap-tacular programs like Room Raiders. Then in 2009 started the era of their worst programs-crap like Teen Mom, 16 and Pregnant, and worst of all Jersey Shore. MTV is now a network of complete filth and is in need of a complete overhaul.

Empty-Vee, or television entirely devoid and empty of any redeeming value, except to the corporate megalopolies who profit by selling plastic loaded with idiotic blather passing for music (which it ain't, see rap or hop-hop ) and a lot of cheezekake as "music" to the undiscerning masses of youth
Boris and Guldina watched hours of MTV until their mother Galena pulled the plug. "Stupid kidniks!" she ranted, "Don't you know that in Soviet Russia, MTV watches YOU?"

a tv channel which used to show a lil good music and occasionally has good cartoons on it. Now its all shit like "real" world and all that. Whoever said we should protest in front of MTV is stupid, they're all fat rich old men who want to make money, so they team up with the radio and make bad bands, which they then put on all their shows and channels in order to brainwash kids into buying their shit.

this has got to be the stupidest shit channel ever. I mean, come on, pre-packaged coolness? what the hell is wrong with kids these days? Whatever happened to sticking it to the man? Where black people had respect, and when white people were... wait... white people are the same. fuck them. Kids that watch MTV think their rebelious and cool, listening to EMO and bands like G-Unit, possibly the worst excuse for music ever. fuck mtv. fuck b.e.t. fuck the music industry in general. stick it to the man.

suppose to be (MUSIC TELEVISION) but usually just shows hrs and hrs of rap videos such as sucker free, and shows like real world, true life, and road rules,and is not living up to the name music television. it should be called rap television. the only good show i like on mtv is (rob and big) other than that everything else on mtv sucks.
