You left out the horror that was MTV during our high school years.
I still don't get how they can call themselves "music" television...guess they're too lazy to find a new copyright

I remember the days when MTV was ALL music. Those were awesome days. LOL
Once headbanger's ball and Real World and Road Rules took over, it was doomed. But doesn't MTV39342 still play music all the time??
