RIP: TRL

This show used to be awesome.

Now? Not so much.

Finally, there is WAY too much music on MTV.

 

I think TRL's ascendance pretty much signaled the death knell of MTV.

 

That, probably, was my least favorite show on MTV for the last nine years. I almost made a girl in college cry during a class discussion on MTV, and TRL bastardizing the music business was my main point.

She, a friend of mine, didn't speak to me for about a week.

 

I liked this show the first time. WHEN IT WAS CALLED DIAL MTV!!!!

I can't wait til 2013, when MTV comes up with a completely new late-afternoon show driven by viewer participation and videos...without ever referring to TRL.

 

A sign of things to come, to be sure.

(And THAT is a way to hit 38K: By making fun of Mikey)

 

So's your face.

 

Good comeback.

 

Thanks.

Now let's hear from a lunatic down on the street.

 

Good riddance to bad rubbish, that is, TRL. The show began somewhat decent, but soon all they've been playing is the 50 Cent and rap. You never see anything but pop, punk or some other kind of garbage on that show. Even that, you hardly see music on there. They'll play about 45 seconds from each song on their "Top 10" and that's about it. I won't miss it.

 

The 50 Cent?

 

He must be taking the pot.
