Real MTV ended in the nineties. corporate leaders figured that money was more important than content. Shame on all who still waste their time watching all of the commercials that they offer as the main content.

The first year it came out there were no commercials. Just nonstop videos. No network had ever done anything like that before.

That’s how cable was in the early days. Remember when AMC was American classic movies with one ad break in the middle of the movie and TV Land was classic TV reruns? Today, my bill is over $210, and I’m watching more advertising than ever. I’m about to kick in the TV if I see another Burger King ad. And suddenly anything worth watching is on a premium (+) channel! We all need to boycott at the same time!!

"Reality" is a common misnomer for "Unscripted" television.
