    It used to be great. Haven't watched it since they moved away from music and went to reality shows decades ago. They took a great thing and ruined it.

    It's a program that needs to die.........oh wait, it already did.

    I watch MTV Classic all the time. MTV Live (Palladia), too. Every time I'd be scanning the Dish channel guide, the only thing on the regular MTV channel would be a show called Catfish. I thought it was an angling show on sports fishing. Turns out it's about internet people pretending to be someone else. I've never seen the show, but I had to Google the term "catfish". Let's say @msg strikes up an online relationship with a thirty year old lady he met on the interwebs, then later he travels across the country to meet her only to find out that she's a fifty year old "he". That sort of thing. I warned him! I hear they are trying to work things out. :open_mouth:

    Worst thing that ever happened was MTV buying Palladia.

    Hmmm, where else has that happened before?? :o

    We all know the Buggles (Video Killed the Radio Star) had the first video. Without looking it up, who remembers who and what was the 2nd??
    Winner gets a cookie if they're the first one to post the answer....
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?
