the current MTV network should divide into 2 different channels: RTV (reality tv) for all the horrible crap the play now, and MTV for just music videos like the old days! I WANT MY MTV!!!!
yo creci con tvcable en los 90's xdios ver tvcable en esa epoca era una bestia tanto buenos show en CARTOON network y nickeloden que la paso a esos canales y MTV una besta en esos tiempos y tambien mi MTV de la adolecncia 2000-2006 genial tantas buenos show para mi la mejor epoca en tv y musca 2004 pero desde el 06 todo ha cambiado no hay nada que ver en tvcable
I do agree with you that some of television is going downhill these days. Just sort of like that MTV doesn't play music videos but reality shows these days, other channels like nickelodeon and disney channel are mostly doing the same thing instead of playing cartoons. I totally agree.
Early 1983-84... Back when MTV was "Music Television" and only showed videos. Now, it's just whiny drama, teenybopper "shit TV". So much for getting better with age... Yeah right.
I do agree with you all this photo was taken off my old VHS video tapes in 1984 when we all wanted our MTV before Dire Straits made that one annoying song and look what happen to MTV a year later the five original VJ's left and they were no longer running Music Videos 24 / 7 like they once did before .
Do you know the exact year this commercial was made? I ask because they might have missed the opportunity to use part of "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits where Sting was singing "I want my MTV" in his falsetto.
And today's generation is scratching its collective head: "...MTV used to play music? Are you sure about that? ...OH! THAT'S what the M stands for. ...I don't get it." And then these kids would run off, "Hey Lindsey -- MTV used to play music!" Eh, kids -- grab a book and be enlightened. lol
I wish MTV sticked to its original roots. There is NO MORE music on it any more! I have to go to VH1 to watch the music videos. I am even surprised that MTV is not doing the same thing as VH1. Hope MTV gets a wake up call soon or else they will lose lots of there people.
My mom used to say MTV would destroy American society, I guess she was right. Too bad, the MTV brand lay in ruin by racist claiming to be anti-racists.
damn i wish i can go back to the 80's where we didnt have to fuckin worry about getting shot on the streets and listened to good music! MTV is soo dumb now they dont play music anymore like they uses to! fuck this generation and damn fuckin people screwed music when rapp and hip hop first came out, but this is just the start and the system + music is just gonna get worst!
I wonder what it is gonna be like on it's 30th birthday coming up in less than two years... MTV might be canceled and we might never see it again because of all the reality shows and vulgar trashy hip hop stuff on it, I'm guessing. Who knows...
Correction. Too much IS enough, Mr. Idol. You can't imagine after all these many years, decades how Americans were brainwashed watching too much music videos in their spare time only to regret it later in life after realizing how much time they wasted in front of the tube watching all these music videos on a frequent basis while all of their productivity and aspirations have all declined into nonexistence. What a waste!
1980's - I want my MTV
2010's - I *DON'T* want my MTV

And today's generation is scratching its collective head: "...MTV used to play music? Are you sure about that? ...OH! THAT'S what the M stands for. ...I don't get it." And then these kids would run off, "Hey Lindsey -- MTV used to play music!" Eh, kids -- grab a book and be enlightened. lol

remember when there was actually music on music television?

...and anime during night hours
This is the MTV I'm looking for! You can take today's MTV to the dump! :-/
Back when mtv was about music and not about pregnent teenagers
*OMGGG Cindy Lauper, Billy Idol, David Bowie and Boy George* Amazing Era!! 😍❤
Now nobody wants their MTV
I remember the first time I saw it..I was so blown away & loved it & couldn't get it on our cable system! AGGGHH!!!!
I remember this and watching these type of commercials in the 1980s. :)
o wow i remeber when mtv came on ever me an my siss sit there everyday after skool an weekends an watch it to listen to some good music back than
i want my OLD mtv
I wish I had lived through the 80's so I could see MTV at the time when it was still awesome.
I heard a rumor on the internet that MTV used to play music videos. They should put that on myth busters
If I bought cable again I would only get it for the old MTV
Now in today's era I say in the bottom of my heart,I WANT MY OLD MTV!
