I stayed up all night watching MTV when it first aired. I think there were only around 100 music videos in rotation at the time, but it was still fun. That was when MTV actually played music videos. Ah, to be in high school again during the early 80s.

John Hughes...we miss you man! <sniff>

Life was good wasn't it?

Welcome to the generation of "Yo Mama" jokes, "That's what she said", and "The Real World (Wait a sec. That's VH1, isn't it?).

Naturally.

They were all at Good Stuff Eatery on Thursday. The hot one got up to go to the bathroom, so I followed her. The conversation in line went like this:

"So, those all your roomates?"
"Yeah."
"Wow, six of you guys huh?"
"Uh huh."
"Did you know each other first or is it like a group house thing?"
"No, we were all strangers."
"Man, you guys must really be poor."

At which time a producer walked over and asked if I could please stop harassing the lady.

I did watch them quite a bit in the late 80s and early 90s, but since then it has been a lot less.
Mainly because the channel is not distributed around here...

Mtv today is horrendous but I used to watch it quite a bit in the 90's.

I loved Beavis&Butthead, Headbangers ball and Alternative Nation when Toby Amies hosted it (best mtv presenter ever),

Yeah ! Headbanger's Ball. Have fond memories of MTV back circa 1989-90.

Used to watch MTV on and off during the mid 1980's to early 1990's. For me it was a good way to pass time when there was nothing else good on tv during my break from college classes. I remember watching Remote Control a lot when I tuned in.

 

[Laokid18]

I watched it when I was still little, late 90s early 2000s. Horrible now though just like the radio.

Brothers, I've added a link about the first music videos that were broadcast on MTV.
I hope that it'll be of some interest to some of you.


Any nostalgia, comments, discussions, ... ?
