  • Could you do more channel histories like this? It's really interesting. I love it!

  • @gorefreak6 Thank you! In the meantime, you can check out our profile on NBC, which you can find by searching for it on our channel home page. Do you have suggestions of what channel histories you would like to see?

  • @WatchMojo Well, some suggestions would be like say Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, VH1, NBC, ABC, & CMT would be some suggestions if possible :-)

  • @gorefreak6 Thank you. Right now we have a basic profile on NBC already (which you can find by doing a search on our channel home page, but we will take your other suggestions into consideration.

  • the good old days of my childhood! awesome memories!

  • MTV went down hill when the music went down hill around 2006.

  • I call for a new channel... MTV: Generation X.

  • The popularity of Total Request Live had nothing to due with Carson Daly. This entire "history" has the depth of an Entertainment Tonight promo. Also, it's deeply ironic that the theme music from Jackass is heard...it's by the Minutemen, a band whose videos were constantly rejected by MTV.

  • Aeon Flux, Daria, and Beavis and Butthead...adult oriented?

  • Wow! What happened to MTV? It was really cool back then?

  • what about cribs

  • Very cool.

  • MTV is so adapting that it will one day become Fox news with music...
