So I was watching True Life on MTV, one of the few shows I have some interest in on that network. It ended and 16 and pregnant came on. They mentioned the name of the town my old high school was in (christian boarding school) and then my buddy was on the tv... I was like... ummm wow. I couldn't believe that guy of all the people I know was on that show.

Just a random thing, I couldn't believe how odd and random it was. Kinda funny how TV makes you remember stuff. I used to leave campus to go stay at his house and play video games on the weekends too. Kinda odd though, I never talked to him after I graduated.
 
I can honestly say I have not watched MTV since they used to actually show music videos. and that was a long, long, time ago.

Friday Night Videos FTW!
 
One thing about MTV I do not like. I only have to say: MTV Movie Awards. I'm sorry to you Twilight Fans.. It was not the best movie. It shouldn't have won. It shouldn't have won Best Fight Scene. How many fight scenes did Twilight have compared to the Dark Knight?

MTV needs to come out and apologize for this blatant atrocity.
 
It's all a matter of opinion when it comes down to it.

If you like poor acting, cheap laughs and everything related to that matter then watch MTV shows like "The Hills", "The Real World, "Room Raiders", etc.

I honestly liked MTV until they brought these shows in.

And Mister Adam: I agree with you completely. Twilight only won cause the crazy fangirls probably ran the MTV awards.

IMO The Dark Knight is probably the best movie to come out in the 2000's.
 
MTV started failing when they started showing shows other thatn music videos.

LOL! That started happening when you were about 2 years old! Ever hear of Remote Control? Also, did you ever see the John Stewart show? Yeah, he was on MTV loooooong before the Daily Show. Beavis and Butthead, Liquid Television, and Daria were actually all pretty awesome. The Maxx was waaaay cool. That was 1996 I think, so kind of later down the line.

Some might argue that the game shows, such as Singled Out (starring Jenny McCarthy), caused MTV's decine, but really the reality show are what killed MTV. Real World was cool for the first 2 seasons, but once the producers figured out a format that they thought would keep ratings up, the show began to stink. Road Rules and all of the challenge shows just stink.

Then again, which artists are actually still making music videos that are interesting to watch. A few are, but the big-name artists like Lil Wayne, Britney Spears, and Coldplay keep making pointless music videos.

All that being said, I actually enjoy the show "16 and Pregnant". It does a good job showing just how serious the consequences of careless fooling around can be. "What? I can't have a baby and hang out with my friends on Friday night!? Mom, that's not fair!"
