Author Topic: Favorite MTV Shows Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 12-13-2007 04:51 PM                  The 2 that really crack me up are: "NEXT" "Parental Control" I am really hooked on them! Too funny!  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-13-2007 04:53 PM                     MTV.... I don't even get that... I guess I would have to get that "Extras Package" from Co $49.95 extras package from Comcast to get that channel.....

Just a friendly suggestion.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-13-2007 06:33 PM                        Floyd - what's the big deal? MTV isn't included in our "basic" cable package here either, you have to get the expanded basic. Not that I care. I can't stand to watch anything on MTV for more than a few minutes. Too many fast cuts; too much shaky cam; too many commercials; too much blatant stupidity. I might start watching if there is a bunch of scantily clad women on the screen, but within minutes, one of the above listed turnoffs occurs and I'm grabbing the remote again.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day! Posts: 3061 From: Rockwall TX USA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 12-13-2007 06:35 PM                     Music videos ca. 1981 until MTV jumped the shark around 1986 or so when it began airing those insipid game and reality shows. I want my real MTV back! -Aaron  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 12-13-2007 06:42 PM                  Mike: I generally agree with your post, but you're watching the wrong programs! MOST of their programming is crap! (At least to us old farts) See my above post for cool prgms! I agree Aaron!  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-13-2007 06:49 PM                     Floyd, Its not the state although I admit the state of mind here is at least 50% stranger than elsewhere... its really the basic cable I have here... I watch VERY little... almost no commercial television.

In Lubbock, one must be in the digital tier of cable to receive the actual VIDEO channels, which includes some programmed by MTV networks. They must not do very well as I got to witness one of the VH1 networks get deactivated while I was on digital cable.  |  IP: Logged Allison Parsons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 630 From: East Peoria, IL Registered: Oct 2004 posted 12-13-2007 09:37 PM                        Are we talking about new MTV shows, or older one. My fav's of all time were: Sifl and Ollie Liquid Television The first 4 seasons of The Real World I have a huge soft spot for old MTV commercials. Especially those featuring Toby Huss as Poop Stewart, Cobalt and Frank Sinatra haha. Jimmie the Cab Driver is up there as well.  |  IP: Logged Mark DeLettera Film Handler Posts: 54 From: Venice, Florida Registered: Aug 1999 posted 12-13-2007 09:49 PM                     I thought MTV died when DEVO and HAIRCUT 100 broke up!  |  IP: Logged Paul Van Dusen Film Handler Posts: 82 From: Roanoke, VA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 12-13-2007 10:39 PM                        Parental Control is alright, it just seems a bit to scripted for me, and Next is full of superficial "uppity" people. I remember the good old days of head banger's ball with ricky rackman, and remote control. I dunno, I guess I really just miss the days when it was Music Television, now it's just eMpTy V.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 12-13-2007 10:56 PM                        I could watch those music videos on MTV all day and night. They are great!  |  IP: Logged Chad M Calpito Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: San Diego, CA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 12-13-2007 11:20 PM                        The only thing I liked on MTV were the music videos, circa 1980's. Now, I don't even consider watching MTV, let alone, waste a second on it.  |  IP: Logged Sean Weitzel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 619 From: Vacaville, CA (1790 miles west of Rockwall) Registered: Dec 1999 posted 12-13-2007 11:59 PM                     I always got a kick out of the "Randee of the Redwoods" spots in the '80's  |  IP: Logged
