This is when MTV was music television. Now it's just one reality show after another. They should just change it to RTV, Reality Televison.

[hemidas]

@Zyphod1 Make it STV, Shit Television!

[schmittelt]

@Zyphod1 And reality television has nothing to do with reality. So...what to do. Me, I rarely watch TV anymore.

[Zyphod1]

@schmittelt All of it is scripted or staged anyways. I don't watch much tv too. Mainly movies and sports.

Pete Townshend: "America, demand your Mtv again!...I want my Mtv!.....now, Call (or write) to Mtv now, and tell 'em, "I WANT MY MTV!!!!...THE WAY IT USED TO BE, WITH ROCK MUSIC!"

[graceziom]

[gabeyoung12345]

[theendofit]

[hijko123]

[staunched]

Did you have the video running to capture this ad LOL, well cool catch ;) I want My MTV to be MTV again, America (Australia)

[Good999Music]

"Look at them YO-YOs , that's the way you do it . You play the guitar on the MTV..."

[fgldnglbs]

Except for Adam Ant and Men at Work, I'd say most of the artists in this particular commercial have faded, a reflection on how discerning MTV was up to that time, by and large.

[xxNerdxxpersonxx]

MTV isnt even MTV anymore! All they show is crappy reality shows like Jersey Shore and crap like that... I want my 80's MTV, with all the good artists and pure Music videos... Man I miss the 80's!

[janisluvsthewho]

Pete's was probally the most intense commercail, lmao.

[janisluvsthewho]

I wish MTV was still as cool as it was in the 80's :/

[SnugglySara]

Testify!

[ystrianka]

i want pete townshend and i wanted mtv.

[SnugglySara]

Right on, sister!

[SnugglySara]

@ystrianka You'd have to fight me for Petey! ;-)

[Heegoop]

Those music videos that were playing are superior to music videos these days which are horrid shit.

[scottreinigerlover]

I used to want my MTV!! Now I don't want it.

[SnugglySara]

Amen to that!

[loveunderlaw]

@scottreinigerlover Me either LOL!!!

[outofsightoutofmind1]

It's a shame they didn't get Duran Duran to do one of these. That would have been cool.
