Overdone, yet completely true. I hate MTV.
I see MTV have recently come up with a way to multiply their air-time, just to fit in all the reality shows. Gosh that’s clever.
And you gotta love how ALL the reality shows (with the exception of True Life, a documentary) are so obviously and so POORLY scripted and acted.
*The Hills Chick: “Oh look at me I just woke up from yet another night of heavy drinking and anonymous sex with a cookie-cutter-cute guy and my makeup is still perfect and not a hair is out of place. I’ll call in sick (hungover) to work and not face a single consequence, recovering just in time to go out, get drunk, and gossip all over again, just like the real life of the average American teen! Teeheehee!”
Ugh, sadly very accurate :/
The year’s wrong, it should be way earlier. VH-1 lasted a few more years, but eventually went the same way.
Ah yes, i remember The Great Music Video Shortage of 2001… those were some tough times
Concept is a dead horse, but still true. The problem with this graph is that it seems to imply that there were only 4 music videos (or shows about music videos?) played in 1981, and that for some reason 2002 was the point where they began the rapid but steady decline. A bar graph would have been better.
Someone did this already, in more detail I might add, back in June.

I read once that reality shows were like crack for TV producers. They cost virtually nothing to make and are tremendously profitable. Easy to get lazy with a ROI like that.
And music videos were paid for by the artist’s producers, not the TV producers. I could be wrong, but I was under the impression music videos were treated as a form of advertisement for the band’s records and tours. Wouldn’t the music videos cost nothing more than maybe a licensing fee for the station?
thats why we prefer MTV2…or youtube XD
omgwtfwbbq! Are you daft? Sure, they originally started MTV2 to show more music videos, but the channel has since failed. The only time you’ll see or hear music on either channel now is during the credits of the Hills. If I want to see music videos, I’ve got to watch MTVTr3s, but I don’t even speak Spanish!
Springsteen, Madonna, and way before Nirvana, there was U2, and Blondie, and Music Still on MTV!
oh i LOVE that song!
In 1982 we were shouting “I Want My MTV!”
In 2008 we are shouding “I Want My MTV *BACK*!”
