If all you ever show are staged "reality" shows about rich fucks in California or a program with liquored up good looking, shallow early 2o-somethings that get drunk, cry, fight, and fuck ...... you're not going to have time to show music.
And guess what? The numbers show it. Don't believe me, read this from an article written on the AP .... "at its peak in 1999, "TRL" had 757,000 viewers a day, with 346,000 of them aged 12 to 17, according to Nielsen Media Research. So far this year, the show — now seen at 3:30 p.m. ET — averages 351,000 viewers a day, Nielsen said. The 12-to-17-year-old audience is only 113,000, half what it was only two years ago."
So here's what I say to this ...... FUCK YOU MTV. You've made an entire generation of young people today feel too fat, too poor, too inadequate. You've created this illusion that all young people want to do is get drunk, fuck, fight, and act as shallow as Paris Hilton or her ilk. You are finally reaping what you sow!! This is so sweet and savory!!
By the way ... this is what MTV should be showing (those ungrateful bastards!!!) ....
What Cure Song Are You?

Devil, I hate TRL and this incarnation of MTV as much as anyone, but that stat is misleading. Since 1999, every network has seen its slice of the pie diminish with the explosion of the internet and other entertainment outlets emerging on the scene. As far as I know, only the NFL has managed to remain bulletproof and keep its ratings in place.
Also, your boy Alberto Gonzales told me to tell you he needs some major brotherly love right now.
I can't remember the last time I watched MTV. I used to watch it alllll the time when I was a kid...when they would actually play, you know, music...RHCP, Beastie Boys, Guns N Roses, etc. I liked Beavis and Butthead but all their other shows suck!!!
I HATE MTV!!!!
AND i'm not really a cure fan...i'm more of a R&B chick.
Thank you for venting one my rants. They need to take the M out of their name.
Deeesguy-
I understand the proliferation of the internet may have hurt cable TV viewership, but such a drastic drop?? Could it be that the music industry is so insistent on making a profit that they're actually driving fans away? Shit, MTV lost over 1/2 their core audience.
Gonzales ... my boy? Fuck that Uncle Tomas!!!
Lindsay-
Great taste in musci!! I loved Beavis and Butthead myself.
Sonrisa-
Not a Cure fan?? I'm not sure how to respond to that.
Chelle-
We see eye to eye on so many issues!
